Sold 1991 Testarossa (US Version) - red/black

1991 US version Testarossa SN 87406 (VIN: ZFFSG17AXM0087406)

F113A040 Engine SN 25188

F110AB Transaxle N6057

Red (ROSSO CORSA FER 300/9) exterior, all black interior, black carpets

89,425 miles (as of today, but I drive it about 50~60 miles per week)

Meets “#3 Good Condition” as described by Hagerty in every way: “Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby.” Although I know where the daily driver flaws are (paint chips, minor dings, etc.), I am often asked by others: “Is it new?” Always garage-kept and used as my dry-weather daily driver. (Hagerty #3 valuation for a 1991 TR is $138,000 as of today)

Newman updated billet (no weld) differential carrier installed Jan 2019 at 83,368 miles by Brian Crall (Rifledriver). Included new diff bearings, new diff seals, and repacking CV joints.

Exterior = Good. See attached “TR SN 87406 - Exterior Details.pdf” file for more pictures and minor defect descriptions as it’s almost impossible to show a defect in a photo and still convey where it is located. Front Spoiler could use another refinishing. Has chrome Cavallino on rear, but stock black rear Cavallino included with sale.

Continuation of: For Sale - 1991 US version Testarossa SN 87406 (VIN: ZFFSG17AXM0087406)

Has every electrical update that every TR needs to be reliable (there are more needed than just the usual burned up white fuse-relay panel connectors):

Connections added inside the fuse-relay panel from the AC, fuel pump, and cooling fan relays to bypass the typical white fuse-relay panel connector terminals prone to burning (no added relays – all original relays remain in their original positions).

Direct (reliable) grounds added to the pin #2 wires of the KE-Jet Injection ECUs (ensures correct Lambda operation – the stock TR harness design for this critical grounding is a terrible piece of spaghetti with buried unreliable crimp connectors).

Parallel jumper added from the w connector to the y connector for the start command signal going to starter solenoid (improves the reliability of starting):

Parallel jumper added from the w connector to the y connector for the brake light signal (improves the reliability of brake light operation):

Parallel jumper wire added for the instrument ground wire in w connector directly to chassis ground (reduces the needle deflection of instrument gauges when the external lights are turned “on”):

Auxiliary (hidden) DPDT center-off switch added to HVAC system to allow vent only, vent+blower only, or full HVAC operation when using the HVAC pushbuttons.

Window Accelerator Relays added that are easily accessible and replaceable – see:

Window speeds excellent.

NHTSA Automatic Seatbelt Recall done by Ferrari of Denver in July 2006 and all working well.

New BFGoodrich Tires (G-Force Sport Comp 2 - 225/50R16 Front, 255/50R16 Rear) at 83.4K miles in 2019.

Due for next major service (last done Jan 2012 by Moorespeed at 63,284 miles, but needs nothing to be driven rationally to anywhere in the continental US from my house in Round Rock, TX. Last major service was very comprehensive with head gaskets replaced, SRI TR hose kit installed, and Heater Hoses replaced (see attached receipt “TR SN 87406 – Major Service at Moorespeed.pdf” file). Only other known problems are the AC system needs to be recommissioned/recharged (AC Compressor needs rebuild) and the Driver’s Mirror up-down motion not working (but have confirmed the center console switch and wiring to the mirror assembly are OK = up-down motor bad in LH mirror assembly).

So just let me know if you’d like more information about any prior service project listed in the Summary.

K-40 UN3000 radar front and rear detector installed by 2nd Owner (I’ve never used it).

Ungo Alarm (installed by Algar at initial sale -- I’ve never used it) – two Ungo fobs included.

If you want an unsorted, low-mile garage queen TR, this is not the car for you, but, if you want a well-sorted, still-very-presentable Daily Driver that has many desirable updates (Newman diff, Tubi, 512TR windshield. all electric issues sorted, etc.), you can drive a (now reliable ) legendary flat-12 Ferrari for the price of a 308QV.

Priced for quick sale at $97,000 (I would rather give the Buyer a good price than give B.A.T. or eBay a large fee).

It depends on the Shop doing the major service. When I researched it, a company in Pomona, CA could rebuild a Sanden AC compressor for a few hundred $s, so IMO a couple of thousand $s should cover it (and being part of the major should help as having the powerplant out gives them good access to flush out all the lines without adding a bunch of extra labor). Of course, if the shop buys a new compressor from Ferrari for 1,400 pounds = they could probably run the bill up to $4K -- or higher, if they decide to fill up the parts cannon .

Still available (I'll have the title changed to "SOLD" after it is sold).

 

Sale Pending (via eBay) -- but won't change it to "SOLD" until it has actually driven away and the money is in my account. Lasted a little under 2 hours (I guess I dropped the price too much going to $87K ):
