I purchased this car in May of 2013 after realizing I had sold off all my Italian cars and needed something for last year’s Italian Stampede. After having owned a lower mile CS prior to this one I decided that this was the perfect car for me to actually drive without any concern about eroding its perceived value. So, if you’re looking for a low mile garage queen this ain’t it and if you’re looking for a 100% flawless car, this ain’t it. It is however, a well cared for and mechanically stellar CS that you can drive as much as you like for as long as you choose to.

Service:

6/25/14 – Clutch readout shows 26% use (or 74% remaining)

11/26/13 – oil service, header/cat replacement (L side), New 02 sensors (4)

8/7/13 – resolve oil overfill, drive belt idler adjustment, AC recharge, Updated trans mount install, installed 4 new Bridgestone RE11’s (have about 3k on them and are better than 85%)

5/28/13 – PPI done at Cavallo Motorsports*, Ball joints replaced, alignment done to factory spec

4/6/13 – Cam belt and fluid service, filter replacement, brake system flush

Prior service – was performed on annual basis at F&M in L.A., I confirmed that the clutch had been replaced and that the car had been regularly serviced.

 *The PPI was conducted at my expense at Cavallo and I elected to have the ball joints replaced with Hill Engineering bits, and asked that everything that look suspect be replaced. The clutch wear was 23% and compression was as follows: Cyl 1 – 235, Cyl 2 – 240, Cyl 3 – 235, Cyl 4 – 240, Cyl 5 – 235, Cyl 6 – 240,    Cyl 7 – 230, Cyl 8 – 235. SD2 readout was clean.

Items to note:

-        The car has an imperfection on the passenger corner of the nose, I’m not 100% certain that it made its way through the clear bra but it may have. It is less than a pinky nail in diameter.

-        The car also has a tiny chip on the fuel door and one along the leading edge of the driver’s door but both are nearly impossible to catch on pictures.

-        The passenger airbag cover is a bit wavy but really not worth replacing at this point.
