    That looks like a screenshot from Normal Guy Supercar on Youtube when Ferrari sent them a letter about trademark or something...

    I always wondered if Ferrari would take notice of the large gated parts demand and without notice produce these parts again.

    Yes. Wait a couple of months and there will be better priced, less sketchy options coming to market.

    Not much to share at this stage (probably will have more info closer to the end of August) but there is a team here in Atlanta working on a 360/430 conversion kit/conversion service.

    That is great news. It's always nice to have more options!

    I spoke with an EAG rep and he quoted me $35k for their conversion. $20k deposit up front. They are scheduling Feb of 22 right now. Conversion takes 3-4 weeks and can be done in Naples, FL or their new location in Austin, TX.

    Crazy that the price has gone from $20K to $35K. Appears the demand is still there at that price though. Will patience result in a lower price in a few years?

    It's time for someone else to step in - the cost to produce these parts even as a one-off is a fraction of that cost.

    Clean f1 360 70k + 35k = 105k

    strong numbers for the swap car market!

    You can’t buy a clean F1 360 for 70k any more. I think that number is 80-85k now.

    If the swap was 15-20k, I think the economics are justified. At 35k, you’re better off finding an original gated example imo.

    Soon pricing will come back to reality. The bubble is gonna pop and with fall and winter approaching that will help it out. And I agree with you to pay 35k to convert is just nuts. Better off with buying a factory gated car.

    Those prices must be for 360... couldn't find a manual 430 under 200k.

    And the cost to design is absolutely massive. The CAD work, prototyping and engineering is not to be underestimated.

    Its all a numbers game. Manufacturing costs plummet if you can buy in bulk, but then you're taking a big risk on being able to sell the kits.

    I don’t see any signs of this market slowing down any time soon. 360’s have bottomed out and are now in the beginning of a long-term appreciation curve imo.

    Hope to have the first kit complete by the end of this month. Don't want to run afoul of sponsorship rules prior to signing up as one, but stay tuned.

    It's not as cheap or as easy as some in this thread might think. There is a reason EAG was the only game in town for a year. The geometry of some of the factory cast parts is such that you cannot mill them from billet at cost-competitive price point and additive manufacturing is similarly expensive. As some of you might know, one-off cast parts can be immensely expensive as well.

    If attempting to make a direct copy then I agree, but I don't see the value in that for modified cars: these parts can be redesigned (and improved) for small-scale production with a little thought.

    My EAG experience was not sketchy at all. I am awaiting some pictures on a USB key of the conversion process but that is it. Got my car back and drives great.
