    I bought this car five years ago and drove it 15,000 as my daily driver and never towed in.
    - Runs great, shifts great and clutches great. (Entire rebuilt hydraulic clutch system).
    - Starts great. One reason is I installed the WR-1 intermediate solinoid.
    - Front disc brakes replaced.
    - All four CV joints and boots replaced.

    - New Bosch starter installed.
    - Sun roof works and is reportedly modified to prevent some sort of malfunction. Never malfunctioned for me.
    - Left window lift excellent.
    - Right window lift lethargic but is a bit better then when I bought it.

    - Wipers work when it is raining or in car wash.
    - Sun roof and left rear window leak in car wash and I use wide painters tape. (Included ;-)
    - Large deep discharge battery installed.
    - All engine and tranny seals replaced but makes little difference on drips.

    - Carpets are out of the car and need cleaning.
    - Horn compressor is out of the car (battery replacement required it and never reinstalled)
    - Winshield washer tank assembly is out of car for same reason above.
    - Interior is in very good shape.

    - Paint is shiny but front louvers show small pits in leading edge.
    - Body has two significant parking lot dings estimated $600 repair, but not all that terrible.
    - Driver door slightly indented probably fixed without painting.
    - Heating/AC inoperable. Strong fan sometimes works, mostly not. Natural air flow gives lots of heat.

    - Power. I ran several speed only runs at invitation-only 1/2 drag race. Best speed was 115 mph shifting
    at 6,000 rpm. All higher rpms were slower by 1-2 mph.
    - I drive it 15 miles every six weeks and today it started on first turn of key.
    Major service due in a bit more then 1,000 miles. Cam belts replaced in 2013 and now have 15,000 miles.
    They are not difficult to replace but the only belt failures I have ever heard of were with newly
    installed belts. If I keep the car I do not plan a major service.

    I am having trouble uploading photos but will keep trying.

    Most likely needs the climate control computer. I think its Bosch.

    Typically the temp control valve, and the fuse box. Two weak points for the HVAC in Mondials.

    I couldn't stand it, Prugna is such a unique color I did some digging and found some historical pics. Hope the OP doesn't mind!

    I like it, is it the car NOW or from an earlier date? Did you own it previously?

    Not my car, I've only owned 1 Ferrari and still have it. Pictures are posted elsewhere in FChat. All I did was dig. They're all old pictures.

    Are the alloy wheels early metric 190 TR 390 or later 16 x 7J ?


    Thanks

    Seems he may actually be ill.

    I called and the friend of his whom handles the cars for sale was straight forward.

    Vipers, Aston, and the Mondial/Testarossa for sale.

    Hope all goes well for him and his family.

    Which of these images are actually the car for sale, and not a random purple mondial?

    Last set of photos is a Mondial with NJ plates and different wheels. Not relevant to this sale. Post deleted.
