The Last 430 Scuderia?

[430rcks]

I guess I'm the odd man out... I really like PB's color taste!

There were at least two built in November. However your car is close to the very last cars built AFAIK. Depending on the finish day in Oct. You could have one of the last 20-30 cars. Some 16Ms were completed along with the last 20-30 Scuderia coupes as well. 458s and Scuderias shared the production floor for a short period.

FWIW, PB's color choices may not be the most desireable, but I admire him for being unique. And I absolutely LOVE that red 430 Scuderia.

I heard a different story - these may have been the last Scuds but the two yellow ones were the last Scuds according to Ferrari to leave the factory as a favor to the owner. Both stories are correct but the factory will verify the two yellow ones were the finale for the US.

All of Bachman's modern Ferrari's are signed, including his FXX.

The yellow cars were not the last Scuderias to leave the factory. As I said Bachman's cars technically are the last US cars, however at least two cars left the factory after his. The red car was not originally going to end up here. It is just US spec. There for the red car is not the "Last car for the US"

Thanks for all the detailed information, Michael.

Are you talking about your Grigio Opaco Scuderia or the red one in the original post?

The OP's photos shows the last 430 of any kind, anywhere, built period. That was the last one off the line. It resides at FoSF. There were no more 430's built after that car.

The 458 wheels look phenomenal on the car, and that is the only gray interior i've seen that i like

[stewf]

Actually, that car is no longer at FoSF, ChallengeDude...

Which is what and where is here, last is first and worst is best?

Does it Really matter?

Breathe in, Breathe out, Move on...

If it's cool with P.B I'll send you the window sticker. P.B gets several non-standard options on his cars and several options that are then exclusive to his cars. If you think his Scuderias are "odd", his 612 and Challenge Stradale would blow you away. By the way the red car is an A spec car that was not originally destined for the USA. Bachman's cars are technically the last US cars. I am very much looking forward to seeing his 599 "NART"(spider).

Any chance of showing that 612?

Im going to have to agree that his aesthetic choices leave a lot to be desired...but I hear he is a great guy.

with a blue-yellow color vision deficiency, the car might look better!
