"I own a 1969 Miura S Chassis # 3919. The car is featured on the restoration page of the Bobileff website. Although it had not run in many years and was in very rough shape, the end result was fantastic. The Miura was restored with a beautiful level of finish and great attention to originality. Gary and Carlo have been informative and helpful throughout the restoration and since delivery of the car. My compliments on a job well done!"

"To whom it may concern: As a buyer / owner of classic Ferrari's I have been a customer of Gary Bobileff for 25+ years as such I always have Gary pre-inspect every Ferrari I ever consider purchasing and Gary has the highest level, it is Gary's honesty that I respect above all else.I recall an incident where Gary thought a certain repair was needed on one of my cars but after tearing into the engine he discovered a different source to the problem. Instead of billing me for all the hours spent, which he could easily have done, Gary pointed out his error to me and did not charge me for that portion of the work. Gary has me as a loyal customer for as long as he is in business which I expect to be a very long time."
