    Hi everyone,

    Unfortunately my Speciale burned down in the recent Palisades fire in Los Angeles. I would love to replace her with another one. A white one like mine would be great but I'm open to other colors like black, silver. I don't care about miles, just a well kept car. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

    Many thanks,
    Jon

    Hello,

    I need help replacing my baby... she burned down to nothing in the fires. White would be great and I'm also open to black or silver. Please let me know if you have one for me to consider. See the photo below, dang I miss her.

    Went thru a fire in my shop last year, lost my gated 360 spider. Fire's are terrifing and such a scary thing. I hope your ok. My wife and I had PTSD over the LA fires, reliving ours. Woke up at 3am to a 40' inferno out our bedroom window. Illegal fireworks from a neighbor set it on fire. Insurance couldn't prove it was the neighbor. Just got my shop erected this week. 13 months later.

    I have no interest in any of these, but good luck with your search and very sorry for your loss, by the what was the number of the 458 you lost. I wonder if it is worth starting a thread on here for those we have lost ?
