Anyone know the story on this one? Maybe looked at it recently? It's been on ebay a least a couple of times lately; looks nice, needs cambelts (for time anyway), anything else? Previous owner here on FerrariChat?

Thanks in advance.

Looks nice, for $8500 it should be like a meat locker inside!

 

Just what I'll need in Central Florida

 

Looks like a nice car....what does "most recently" mean for the major service, followed by A/C in 2004. If the last major was indeed in 2004, its Over-due just due to time not miles.

Mid-30's for a car with 43K miles sounds about right.

The ones selling lower all need something, or have a story, or a distressed seller IMO.

 

This is a very beautiful car. Last year, I saw some in this condition going for 50 Grand. It seems reasonably priced for this sluggish economy.

Seems like one of the few that are priced correctly to reflect real current pricing. I spoke with them about it, the major service was indeed at 35000 miles, in 2004. Belts, etc. etc. and also included clutch. It's a nice looking car in the pictures, not too far away from me, and I am looking, but . . . black is a deal killer for me. I'm ok with many/most "non-red" colors, but I'm done with black cars, too difficult to keep looking nice.

 

Did anyone else notice what appear to be non-stock bolsters at the bottom of the dashboard???
Is that the A/C upgrade????

I saw this car in April, 2005; it belonged to a FerrariChat member.

Also, "...just traded in on a 456..." - that was back in October. Don't wanna be pedantic with semantics here, but that was three months ago. Is 90 days a short enough time to qualify 'just' as an acceptable adverb to describe a period of time for the acquisition/trade of a Ferrari...?

 

Post number 5....

Does this car not have any pedals????

I believe picture 1 is an early Mondial T dashboard (1989/90). I'm pretty sure later Mondial Ts had the knee bolsters from the factory.

Best regards,
Dino

 

I believe that you are correct.

'89 No knee bolsters, no seatbelts coming from the mid of the back seats over the driver/passenger shoulder either.

Testarossa's after 86 in the US had the bolsters and auto (mice) seatbelts, too.

 

I think I was there too. Wasn't it in Vegas?

If you're not doing anything this weekend... maybe swing by for a look? I mean, if you're in the area...

Those are the parcel shelves that were added when the glovebox was deleted

I PMed with the previous owner and received a good overview. Still, I wish it weren't so far away.

 

Yes, Vegas; yes, you were there.

The farther away it is, the better the drive home will be.

 

Pic 1 is not normal for 1990+ years. as that is a pre '90 or first year car: look at the door sills, where the seat mice runners are missing.

Pic 2 [looks like my Mondial T]: looks, perhaps normal for a euro [guessing] coup as there is a glove box there, and bolster at the bottom. ALso, that is a '90 plus car in that the seat mice runners are present on the door sills.

The only funny thing on Pic 2 is why, the photographer covered the pedals with the mat....hmmm

No, but it has the optional steering wheel.

 

LOL. Some did come with just 2 pedals vice 3.
It looks just like our '92 t interior except for the wrinkles in the leather and carpet. Glue failure?

 

I was just looking at the ebay pics and noticed that it has the seat belt mice up front but those bus like inertial lap belts in the rear. Interesting. I had assumed that the automatic seat belts were added along with the 3-pointers in the rear.

 

I was seriously considering this car awhile back but then my Black 3.2 Coupe showed up instead.

Four years later (thread started in 2009) she's still looking quite svelt but with new shoes.

A bit pricey tho and, my guess, she needs new belts as well.

Holy ****. That's MY car (or at least it was). I traded it on a blue 456GT they had (but not with those gawd awful wheels on it). Owned from I think June 2003 until October 2008.

Happy to share whatever info someone wants to know on this car.

 

For some reason I thought you had a red t Coupe.

 

Nope, I bought the black T convertible with full plans to repaint it (verde silverstone). Never got around to doing it.

It has a little story to it - my (now) ex-wife during our divorce took a 20 pound weight to one of the headlights and the hood. Was quickly and properly repaired, but I'll never forget it. I think I have the pictures some where. This was in 2006. *****.

 

Yeah, a woman scorned...

Most of these cars have a story or two. As survivors it just makes them all the more interesting.

 

Is this Lambo Girl's...
