    There are parts missing, the seats look broken and it is a Euro car in the USA.

    But, you never know it might just be a bargain :)

    Not really a bargain. Good TR's are less than $50k now. So for a few more bucks you can get a car needing no work.

    Ok, thought it was familiar....for a euro early car, if this car has paper work along with it,it is a car worth saving. Early 84/85 euro single mirror cars are rare to find.

    But from my experience their pictures are taken in a way and quality that they show a lot better than reality. I had someone go there to look at a car and took pictures and it was far from what I tought from the pics of their website. I highly recommend to go look at the car before buying.

    I think this may be the same car from a few weeks ago on ebay in Miami. In the back wheelwell you might notice the gap from the inner arch missing. Miami is the land of abused Ferraris. Too may rich trust fund babies who abuse them and dispose of them in the salt air. Hopefullynthis one gets some tlc. Maybe a certified Ferrari mechanic wants a project.

    I went to look at a 550 a while back ago there an I swear that they have the absolute bottom of any car. Am not sure if they are Insurance basket case but all the cars they had were crap . Where you will be dumping more into it than what you bought it for. Run dont walk, what's funny is they use the Beverly Hills name but have their lot in East LA. That should of been my first clue.

    I just spent a few minutes looking at the inventory at “The Beverly Hills Car Club”. I most likely will never ever do that again. The CLUB could easily provide the cars for that new reality show, “Swamp People drive La La Land”. :)

    Has anybody here seen the show "South Beach Classics" on the Velocity channel? I stopped by there last week when in Miami, my god! What junk! Never seen anything like it. You have to be very carefull buying from pictures, they do not show the imperfections.

    I am up for just about anything and would love a TR.

    But look at this photo is that just a belly pan that is corroded or what how is that area set up, I have never even been up close to a TR so I have no clue.

    +1 -- virtual salvage.

    Truly horrible exhaust fabrication -- I'd rate where they put the aftermarket cats as "unsafe/crazy"...

    I had this car ppi, and it is the car from Miami. look closely to the hood surrounding the emblem, they touched it up with paint as it was all oxidized. the window trim was oxidized and had holes, the engine compartment was a disaster, the coolant tank had no coolant, there was a wire sticking out near the left plenum and the app was told that this is the way you start the car, rust underneath. My GOD what a terrible waste of a Ferrari. Stay far away from this one as spent my money to have it looked at.
    The car was stored outside in the blistering Fl heat and humidity!!!!!

    I had another Fchatter in FL go look at a classic Caddy there for me (before I purchased one from a guy in Boston) and he said the car he looked at for me at SOBE Classics was a mess...to put it kindly.

    OMG, that car isn't worth 20k as a driver. Maybe that in parts. Maybe.

    That is a shame. How can someone let a Testarossa become like this.

    Easy. Living beyond your means. If you can't afford to fix it, you can't afford to drive it.
