Wanted: Mondial 3.2 coupe

I'm with you - love the coupes. I have an 85 QV Coupe and absolutely love it.

Finding a 3.2 Coupe might be a bit of a challenge. According to numbers that FCHAT member Wade has provided - there were only 87 total 3.2 Coupes imported into North America. As a point of reference - there were 69 QV Coupes, and 43 T-Coupes imported into NA. Making the Coupe rather rare (another reason to love them).

Here's Wade's graph.

Good luck with the search!

Best choice out of the lineup in my opinion anyways!

 

Doesn't stephane have another coupe for sale? Right color, beautiful new interior leather. Not sure if it is a 3.2, but it is listed here in the for sale section.

Regards,
Jerry

 

Thanks Sid - great chart!!!

 

It's a Euro QV. Giveaways are the lack of a diaper under the rear bumper, and the 2V intake plenum. For some reason, Euro QVs seem to always have the 2V intake plenum. Every single one that I have seen has the 2V plenum.

You might PM Stephane - he has owned a bunch of Mondials, and probably has his finger on the pulse of the Mondial market. He, probably more than anyone, could help you locate a 3.2 Coupe.

Don't give up the search. It took me over a year to find my Coupe, and it was very well worth the wait!! The car is fantastic, and a pure joy to drive.

It's mixed. One Euro QV has the 2v plenum and the other a QV. Not sure why this is, but I think it just what they had on the shelf or that they first used up the 2v ones before they started with the QV plenum. Anyway it is mixed here.

US is a cab continent and Europe a coupe one

There is not much for sale on this side and the ones that are for sale.. they ask too much for the condition these cars are in.

Good luck. I'll never part with mine.

 

1987 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe

 

I love the coupes in red. Does anyone know what the little blue lights are on the bottom of speedo and tach?

 

Agrred beautiful car, just my speculation either alarm or radar detector aftermarket installation

 

Yes wasn't that same car advertised here on fchat awhile back?

 

Did 3.2s come with some type of plastic lid/cover over the center console switch area?

Seems like a good idea - I almost had a disaster the other day. Pulling out of the garage at 6:15am (on my way to Dallas C&C), I had a travel mug full of hot tea, setting on the warning light area of the console. As I backed out, it tipped back. Fortunately, it's a travel mug with a sealed lid, and no fluids came out onto the switches. I wonder if a cover was added for this reason?

No on the lid question.

And Fate is the Hunter on your near-miss.

 

You can have my 1986 Prugna Metalica coupe for $50,000. It is in no way a show car but everyone gushes over it. It needs $1,000 in dent and paint touch-up repair but has entirely new clutch system, new front rotors, NEW starter with WR1 intermediate solenoid and all new CV joints.

It runs like a scalded dog and I make no apologies for doing so. This is a driver! If this very high price does not drive you away I will happily tell you everything that is right and wrong with it. What is mostly right is the color and the strangely powerful engine.

Your are a man of taste and distinction! I have now had my way with my Ferrari for the purpose of finding out what a Ferrari might be all about and, financially speaking, it is fully depreciated to the purpose I bought it.

Accordingly I drive it like I once drove my Z-28! That means, well, I DRIVE it! Not that I babied it in the mean time. But now I do not think twice about 4,000 - 6,500 rpm hot runs as a routine thing to do. The car has about 57,000 miles on it and has never been better.

I suppose, given its age, something could go 'South' again. But I do not fear this as I did at first. Its all gravy from now on!

 

The owner who had it before me won platinum at at least one FCA event with your car David so you can see it was formely a show car!

 

wow....

And the car has not deteriorated much since I got it. The interior is about the same but the exterior has accumulated two parking lot dimples, one in each door. Some of the front louvers have small chips out of the front edges and the wheels need repainting and black trim needs a refresh such as around the front window.

Mechanically it is much improved but that is irrelevant for a show car. The entire clutch system has been replaced as have the front rotors, all CV joints as well as a NEW starter and intermediate solenoid. In addition the wipers are much better but the passenger side window lift is still on life support. And of course I will soon be on my third set of tires!
