Here are a couple pictures I took after moving the car to a friend's warehouse in Scottsdale where it will be picked up tomorrow for delivery to me on Tuesday.

**Norcal** · September 9th 2012, 16:48

Hard to see in these pics, but looks super pristine. Nice.

**macfly** · September 9th 2012, 18:16

Lovely, congratulations!

**thegunguy** · September 9th 2012, 20:56

Nice! Noticed you already updated the signature.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 9th 2012, 21:51

Gives me something to do while waiting for the car to arrive.

Z8Mania · September 9th 2012, 23:33

YES!!!!!!!!!!

PS- is your friend considering selling the Ferrari 330?

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 9th 2012, 23:39

That Ferrari is beautiful. I believe it is for sale. Shall I check?

**jc.guilbaud** · September 10th 2012, 05:10

F?licitation Marty. La voiture est superbe ! Bienvenue

**JoshB** · September 10th 2012, 11:21

Looks great. Of course I am partial to that color combo! Best of luck with it.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 10th 2012, 13:19

A few more pics of the car in Arizona.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 11th 2012, 00:20

Just got word from the trucker that he picked up the car and I should have it by two tomorrow.

**EDEZ8** · September 11th 2012, 02:12

Congratulations on your new ride. It looks perfect from the pictures, even the metal door thresholds in the last picture.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 11th 2012, 02:21

The thresholds are perfect. There are no marks in the door jambs that are so common on all Z8s where the seatbelt buckle has been shut inside the jamb. This is truly in the top two or three Z8s, as far as condition goes, that I have ever inspected. It has every document from new including the original order form, purchase invoice, and service records from day one. The windstop deflector is still wrapped in the original shipping plastic. Other than the picture here, the convertible top has never been up. The hardtop was on the car from new. That of course won't be the case once I get the car.

**ZAchterbahn** · September 11th 2012, 04:23

Congratulations Marty, the car looks pristine. How could you resist driving it from Arizona to California? There are some great scenic roads just made for the Z8 out there.

And yes, tell us more about the 330. I have found huge asking price gaps in the few cars currently on the market.

Happy motoring,

Christian

Z8Mania · September 11th 2012, 10:22

Thats great Marty! You know what, right now is not the time for me to buy a vintage car but for a brief moment I did consider it. I'm very excited for you.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 11th 2012, 16:27

Hi Christian,
I had left my truck at the airport in Burbank and didn't want to go fetch it the next day. Also, the car was loaded up with all of the extras that came with the car and I really didn't feel like driving 400 miles or putting that many miles on the car that quickly.
Have a call into my guy on the Ferrari.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 11th 2012, 16:34

Here is the info on the Ferrari. Waiting on price.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE.....

Z8Mania · September 11th 2012, 17:35

Thank you Marty. This is the 4 seater 330 which is a nice car but the 4 seaters never have done all that well. In todays market these must be appreciating too and I bet its a good time to sell. I also think its a really nice car and probably a good choice for a first vintage F car. However, at this time I cannot be a serious inquiry so I wound't want to know more. I love how a lot of marketing will say "original miles"; or "adult miles"- I would hope they are original and if they aren't adult then are they child miles?!

I'd love to pull the trigger but its not the right time for me.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 11th 2012, 21:16

So here they are side by side. Love the DE helmet matched to the color of the car!

Z8Mania · September 11th 2012, 22:24

SWEET!!!!!!!!!

Ok - that is SICK (in a very good way) !!!

**Z8LVR** · September 12th 2012, 02:22

The two of them side by side in a garage is an AWESOME sight Marty!!

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 12th 2012, 02:28

I keep walking out into the garage to look at them. They sure look nice sitting there side by side. Don't miss the Porsche at all.

**ZAchterbahn** · September 12th 2012, 05:38

Marty, you keep walking out? I would sleep out there and only walk in to take care of business.

Thank you for the 330 update. That is the model with double headlights. Sounds like it is in perfect condition. This weekend I will be looking at an early model II still with double headlights of the model I and the suspended pedals and 5 speed manual transmission of the series II. Then there is that Ghibli I need to check out. I guess I am just frustrated having my Z8 in storage at Auto-Vino for West Coast adventures and not finding one I really like for Texas.

Enjoy your silver bullets. (I like the trick with identical license plate numbers on both vehicles and will let you know how this goes over when I try it here in Texas).

Christian

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 13th 2012, 21:36

Those are my dealer plates. My 6 speed is plate number 1A and the Alpina is number 2A.

**jc.guilbaud** · September 14th 2012, 16:03

Congratulations Marty ! Fantastic car, it looks pristine. I can wait to see it in real on our next drive !
As I am going to France this Sunday for 2 weeks, does someone need something from overthere ?? JC

**macfly** · September 14th 2012, 21:33

'86 & '88 Cheval Blanc please.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 14th 2012, 21:48

CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**jc.guilbaud** · September 14th 2012, 21:54

very good taste Andrew !!! Now I am in trouble !

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 21st 2012, 18:30

So here is my car this morning. This is the first time EVER the convertible top boot has been used!

**///M Blitz** · September 21st 2012, 20:13

She's a beauty Marty!

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 22nd 2012, 05:05

It was great driving it today with the top down.

**macfly** · September 22nd 2012, 06:01

Lovely, congratulations!!!

I look forward to seeing it soon, maybe on the Nov drive?

**Z-acht** · September 22nd 2012, 08:17

New tires- check
Top down - check
Boot in place - check

Let the fun begin! Hard to believe the former owner didn't fully enjoy this great car.

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 22nd 2012, 23:59

Well I am very happy he took such wonderful care of it.

Z8Mania · September 23rd 2012, 19:26

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

**hayvenhurstkid** · September 23rd 2012, 19:30

Thanks Jerry. Means a lot coming from you.

Z8Mania · September 23rd 2012, 23:05

Thanks Marty- but lets face it, I didn't design it. It is a gorgeous car and you have a truly spectacular example. I'm happy for you.
