Topic: Hitting a goalpost - Hire's Ferrari 360 Modena

[OliverD]

There's a F1-to-stick Modena on BaT at the moment, seems to be trending!

Bid to $111k but RNM. Bad colour combo IMO.

I saw that one - I've never seen seats like that from the factory on a 360. I wonder if they're factory or aftermarket... Ferrari does some unusual things sometimes.

Mine has the optional/upgraded Daytona seats; powered, more bolstering, and the black accent pieces. Looks cool IMHO.

I've said it already, but congrats on another really sweet addition to the fleet. I really dig this one, gorgeous interior.

That BAT unit has the carbon fiber sport seats...rare and desirable seats from a collectability standpoint, likely not as comfy as the Daytona seats. Not feeling the grey/tan combo there either, but it's a nice low mile car. IMO....the market is getting softer and softer by the week right now, versus pandemic heights that is, so prices on stuff like this BAT example are starting to come down to reality.

So you are a manual preservation officer. 

Congrats bud, awesome ride!

Yeah, the market is going to cool, but I think there's a floor on cars like a gated manual, naturally aspirated mid-engined Ferrari. It's a car that MAY drop to $100k market value, but it won't be something we can pick up for $40-50k. Pandemic prices have put my 911 around the $160k mark, which is more than triple what I paid for it, but I don't foresee the value of something like that dropping below $100k either.

I think that while the market will speak to some extent, sheer desirability will floor certain cars at a relatively high point, until the generation's appeal just drops (like muscle cars today as boomers are starting to get old/stop driving/die). Which is another reason I wanted a 360 over say, a 355 or 348. It's the first of the "modern" Ferrari and still looks spectacular today.

100%. The 360 is a huge bargain, even in the current market, relative to what other Ferraris are pulling, so I don't think it'll fall too far at all.

What a fantastic car!

I enjoyed this SG review on the 360 (though that was the convertible)

Congrats on another sweet car and the milestone!

Next you gotta pick up a 430. You know, for manual swap research purposes.

I fully support and encourage you in this endeavour! I'll even be happy to do a swap at cost for said scientific research purposes!

Wow, great goalpost car man!! She is beautiful, I'm not a big Ferrari guy but they sure can make some stunning looking vehicles.

[JohnnyMac]

So I was thinking about your collection of vehicles and wondering what you'd classify the Ferrari as?  Obviously the Porsche is a sports car, M5 is a sports sedan, Aston is a Grand Tourer, would the Ferrari be a "super car".  Surely it's more than just a sports car.  Obviously it's not a supercar by todays the Modena is slower than a Tesla Model 3 to 60 and would be dominated by a Civic Type R on a track, but back in it's hay day it was likely one of the fastest cars you could buy at the time.

^^ I think he usually calls his cars Old Jalopies.

Even that tiny gear selector thing sort of weirds me out

Otherwise fantastic car and very cool plans for it. Love the colour combo and plan.

Thanks all!

Lol... I spent one day on the road with it. It's now in pieces waiting to get everything done; glory shots once it's ready!

[JG20]

Congrats! The 360 is still one of my favourite Ferraris.
