1985 Eurospec Testarossa Red Exterior, Black Interior Getting the car serviced at Pocono. Major with belts, Touch Up Interior and Paint. Will be there for a few weeks so no pics. Mechanically it is like it should be. It will look like it should when they are done with it. 56 Kilometers (39k miles). Coming up on 10th year with the car, and I am ready for a change. Had a 911 convertible. Can't say I am dying for another 911, but miss the convertible. So I would like to trade the Testarossa for a convertible...... Sorry, that's all I've got. I can put some more money in if your car is worth more - or take some out if yours is worth less. I am open to ideas, and maybe we can both save on the dealer markup. I think I have a fair sense of the cars value, and would like to value it more than wholesale and less than retail. This is what I posted about the car a while ago in the PRODUCTION NUMBERS 1985 1986 SINGLE MIRROR TESTAROSSA . Wife is gone, I kept the car. I have a copy of the Car and Driver magazine. And a copy of Pete Rose's Title. __________________________________________________ Originally Posted by SOFTWAREGUY View Post 59091 1985 Red/Black What I know of the car history (as it was told to me): The car was originally purchased by the great (infamous) baseball player Pete Rose. I was told that he wanted to have the first one. He let his car go to Car and Driver for their road test on the cover of the September 1985 issue. As the article says "Speed for a price, or almost red for a Rose, or baseball been bery, bery good to him." He later got this car. In the meantime, my friend Ken had purchased a Lamborghini, I think it was at Meadowlands Imports in Jersey City. However, he really didnt fit in it. So the dealer said that they would give him another one with a different seat set up. Many months later, he finally got the call that the Lambo was in, and it was gorgeous. The Lambo was pearl white with the big wing. Pete Rose was having the Testarossa serviced at the same time and fell in love with it. They traded cars (and I guess some money). Ken had it ever since and took good care of it. But he wanted something that was easier to get in and out of, as his back was bothering him. On my 45th (2006) birthday my wife told me that I should go buy a new car. My daily driver was a Lexus with well over 150,000 miles on it and was nearing the end of its life. She was thinking I should replace the Lexus. I puttered around the house, and around in the evening called Ken. Well, it followed me home, my kids approved, so we kept it.
Car is at PoconoMotorSports. Paint touch up and interior are being done now. Will post pics when I get the car back.
If the car has 56k km thats only 35k miles.. Not 39k miles,,1.6 km to every mile. We use KM in Canada Good luck on the sale.
