Selling my 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe. Note: The car has a CLEAN title in my name. However, at some point it received a rebuilt title very early in life supposedly due to a repossession and titling fiasco. The person who know the story is on FChat and will hopefully chime in. I don’t believe the car has ever been wrecked or hit and looks laser straight inside and out. For those still interested my car has the Nero (black) exterior and a red interior. It’s a beautiful combination and the car gets plenty of attention. Current mileage is 45,504…subject to increase slightly as I drive the car almost every weekend barring inclement weather. The best way to get to know a car is to go over it section by section Exterior- I believe the paint to be original. It's in surprisingly good shape with minimal, if any, door dings. No rust, of course. Being black it shows dirt and much of what you see in the pictures is dust or bugs from my morning drive (yes..it gets driven). All glass is good and has the Ferrari logo. The side strakes are unbroken and all badges/lenses are excellent. Interior – Looks nicer than most other Mondials I have seen on here or for sale elsewhere. No dash cracks, leather shrinkage, or any real wear other than a little on the driver's bolster. The car has custom floor mats protecting the red carpet. The 5 speed shift gate gleams and all the gauges are clear. You will be very happy with the interior. Tires/Brakes - The tires are new Michelins installed 12/1/14 at 42,237 miles. The brakes are $4000 upgraded Tarox High performance brakes units. Look them up. I was giving a friend of mine who owns a GT3 a ride a while back. He was bragging about his brakes. I told him to hold on and hit the brakes (I didn't even hit them hard enough to engage ABS). His statement was "Holy S#%t!"...... enough said. Drive Train - The engine was removed and resealed by Karl Troy of European Road and Racing in Charleston, SC on 12/1/14 at 42,237 miles. While the engine was out the major service was done and new axle boots were installed. Total bill was $8769. The clutch master and slave plus a four wheel alignment was performed by Karl on 4/18/16 at a cost of $1529.04. The engine has no smoke on startup or on overrun. The engine does not leak oil, the transmission shifts cleanly (balks going into second until the oil is warm...they all do. Just shift from 1st to 3rd until the oil warms up). Oil pressure while driving is around 80 psi...as it should be. Car never runs hot. The gauge barely moves above the first hash mark while driving and if stopped the dual cooling fans kick in around 190 and cool the engine quickly. The only minor issue is the car will not idle smoothly when cold. You have to keep the rpm's up for a minute or so until the engine starts warming up. After that it's fine. Electrical - the headlights (high and low beam) were upgraded with Xenon units. They are very bright and work well. All the gauges work, all the switches work, the radio power antenna works, and even the SUNROOF WORKS! The only item not working is the glovebox switch. It was not working when I bought the car and I have never tried to open it. For all I know it's full of cash! The a/c works; albeit it is not as cold as I would like. It has been converted to 134a. The windows go up and down quickly and the door locks operate correctly. Books, Records, and Tools - The car has the jack but no tool kit (it was stolen) I have the owner’s manual as well as the hard to find 3.2 Mondial parts manual, electrical diagrams service bulletins, ABS service manual, etc. in the original Ferrari binders. The car has a large number of records and receipts going back over 20 years highlighting the money lavished on the car. The good news is the receipts prove the car has been well maintained. I told Karl when he did the major that I wanted everything done so that I would be able to drive this car across the US. I feel very confident that I could do just that. I drove the car on a 700+ mile round trip to the NC mountains in September a couple years ago without any issues. The car is close to 30 years old and is sold with no warranty expressed or implied. However, if you want to fly in and drive back I wouldn't blame you! Asking price is $38,500 obo. I'm not a professional photographer (and it shows). If anyone wants to see pictures of anything in particular let me know.

It will be interesting to see what the sales price is. My car is the same year, same color combo Nero/Red. Comparable condition. No sunroof. Best of luck with the sale. It should go quickly.
I can attest with the titling fiasco. My Porsche 968 Cabriolet was titled "not actual mileage" Why? The bank that held the loan took the payoff over the phone and therefore, couldn't view the odometer when the title was released. Took six months of phone calls & e-mails get resolved, along with an additional title fee. Love your Mondial. Joe
Beautiful car, Bill! Same colour combo as my '83 QV. I'll have to look into those brakes. Someone will be very happy with this machine. GLWS!
I know I have said this before but it still applies here. I just re-read the details about all of the recent service history. This is a lot of car for the money. Imagine if they had named it 328 GTB 2+2?
Very cool...I'm interested and a sucker for a red interior (308GT4) - been looking for a nice Mondi and this fits the bill. Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Bump to the top. Might also consider Maserati GT or Porsche 911 (996 or 997) trades slightly up or down.....
