    Been thinking about parting with my Lusso. Is the Ferrari Market Letter a good resource? Or Hemmings? Not really sure the best method to advertise or offer it.

    Thanks John.

    I put a classified in the Ferrari Market Letter so we'll see how that goes. Asking 2.2m, negotiable.

    I don't ever remember negotiating a price upward...:=) duck while you get bombarded by
    "low ball offers", you will know when a proper offer is presented...

    It is not a precision instrument designed to show accurate readings when opening throttle on idle. If I recall right I can get higher readings with my two fingers - and I am no superman.

    Nice to see what appears to be a honest car with very correct details.The only minor detail I spotted is the horn set-up (Fiamm RM horns & Marchall Stridor compressor). Correct Fiamm MC1 compressor is cheap and easy to find. $500 on Ebay, $10 in a garage sale...

    (I didn't detect any problems with the website).

    My anti virus software detected various problems and automatically deleted several items. Seriously. Not kidding.

    Thank you. I've really enjoyed driving it and it's been a great car for me. Love the roar of the car's engine on some of the more open roads in my area. Was going 140 kmh back in May and freaked out a bit knowing that was pretty close to 90 mph with no seat belt in a '63 Lusso.

    Yes, these cars will surprise you with how quick they can go. The sound from about 4200 RPM onward is the stuff of legend and dreams! You can always have seat belts fitted and I don't think that would really hurt value. But even with those, you're still talking about late 50s/ early 60s safety technology!!
