Will not new but new to me. Low mileage 1999 550 Maranello. Now if there is any truth to Global Warming(which I used to believe in until this winter) then maybe I can get it to my house.

Ron,

I had a list of what it had to have:
Red with saddle interior
Low mileage
Full service documentation since new
3 owners or less
Impecable condition, no issue car

Eventually found one in Houston, TX.

Nice ride.....I appreciate the 550 style as much today as when I saw my first one (red!)when they were introduced in '96. Timeless styling IMO.

Jason, Absolutely!!!

I do not know what it is about the 550 styling but I guess it speaks to me...now the 458 speaks to me too(quite loudly I might add) but it is out of $$$ range unless I were to sell the GT and that my friends would never happen.

And you sold a Heritage? At least it's RED.

Yes, selling the Heritage over a year ago was a bonehead move but knowing the fate of healthcare and my profession it was the right thing to do. In my quest for an F car red was the only color I would consider. The big question is what to get for a license plate since my Ford GT is: 4RE-KLR....(Ferrari Killer). Open for suggestions.

Congratulations, but I wouldn't count on whether being your friend at this moment... :)

Global warming was a made-up term for a bunch of people to make billions while the rest of us taxpayers pay for it!

Very Nice Stu. Congrats.

But it'll be 3 months till you can drive it.

Lots of time to acquire the much needed Ferrari shoes, socks, shorts and shirts.
