1983 Mondial QV Sunroof Coupe 60K $18K (Runs Hot)

Where are you located?

 

This looks tempting. Location?

 

did you install an engine in this car also?

 

I am referring to page 8 of this thread

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ferraris/488348-anyone-ready-pass-their-mondial-down.html

 

Your selling it too cheap? Should bring at least 25k in good condition unless you think the engine is about shot or needs all major service done etc.

 

Wow, 4 blue Mondial Coupes in the central TX area (SidTx, Cockrill, Race and yours).

BTW, your Blue/Blue car looks familiar.

Any rust issues?

 

I think shulz348 was referring to this post: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144196325-post143.html

So your timing belt slip did not result in needing a new engine?

 

How hot is hot? Does it boil when driven in town? On the freeway? I thought Mondials ran cool .....

 

Pictures from this please.

Yeah, pretty unusual for a Mondial to truly run hot. But I recall Mr. Bloke having the same problem.

 

Why would it need a new motor?
It would need valves but not much else would perish.

 

I'm interested, but my concern is that something didn't go right with the previous repair. We've got a rough timeline here from sellers previous posts:

Sept 2015: The only problem is that I slipped a timing belt and the engine went Boom!

Sept 2016: Repaired engine is overheating.

December 2016: for sale.

Given the price is apparently quite reasonable, I would imagine an independent PPI would give a good snapshot of the current state of affairs.

I like this car a lot. It looks very much like the Mondial QV that was one of my first Ferrari drives.

 

The OP said he was going to put a new motor in it for $10k after belt broke. Just quoting him.

A few inconsistencies in the story around the Crall rebuild....

They can but I never thought of it as strictly a Mondial issue. More like a not quite looked after car issue.

That said, the previous owner of my car did install a second fan to help keep it cool in hot summer months.

 

Car is still in TX. Seems like a simple solution would be to ask Crall if he did the work, or either way just ask if he will do a PPI on the car. Or get a PPI form one of the other well known guys out there. $18k is a steal for this car if it's in good running order. Still a fairish price if it needs $10k in work, as long as the work is straightforward and clear and not a "mystery bag" situation.

Unless you're just looking for a parts car or can buy it for a reasonably low price, I would HIGHLY suggest seeing this one in person.
