    For sale is my 1986 Ferrari Mondial 3.2. Rossa on tan leather. The car has about 21,000 original miles. I purchased it a year ago from a noted collector in the Pittsburgh area (PM me for more info). His personal mechanic maintained it very well, along with the rest of his phenomenal collection. I have maintenance records from his years of ownership and mine.

    I love the car, but I am selling it to make room for another Ferrari in my limited garage space.

    Mechanicals. The car is mechanically excellent. The engine starts easily every time. It runs very strongly. The transmission is perfect. It slots into all gears (including first-to-second) whether warm or cold. I will double check the records from the prior owner, but I believe the belt service was performed in 2013 (with a few thousand miles since then). The brakes are excellent. The suspension is good and not squeaky.

    Wheels and Tires. I have two complete sets of wheels and tires -- the original metric set (for shows, with original tires) and a second set (which I run on the car, with easier-to-source tires). Both Ferrari OEM wheels (the non-metrics are from a later year). The wheels are in excellent condition. If I were to keep the car, I would replace the daily-use tires in the spring.

    Body. The body is in excellent condition. I believe the paint work is all original, and it is in very good shape. There are a small number of dings on the side of the body, visible on close inspection in the light. I assume these are from car doors in parking lots (all predate my ownership). There are some rock chips on the front of the car. Otherwise, the paint is excellent. It is very beautiful and deep. There is no rust whatsoever. There are no scratches.

    Cabrio Top. The top is in very good condition. No rips or wrinkles on the exterior. It opens and closes easily. The rear window is very slightly yellowed, but you can see through it easily. The inside of the top has wear at a few points where the beige fabric contacts the mechanical apparatus. It closes well. I have the original cover for the top as well as an aftermarket leather top (which fits perfectly).

    The rubber weather stripping between the front and rear windows (which bend up when the top goes up and down) are partially perished. They are functional but could use replacement.

    Interior. The interior is in excellent condition, with no rips, tears, stains, or anything else. The leather has almost no signs of wear. The carpet is very good. Everything works. All the buttons, lights, and signals work well. The windows go up and down easily, although the rear windows are a bit slow and could do with re-lubrication. The air conditioning works well. I have the CD player that came with the car (a Denon unit that does not function). I replaced it recently with a nice Kenwood unit with Blue tooth, etc, which works well. The radio antenna works well, although it makes some noise and could probably do with lubrication.

    Accessories. I have the original leather binder with the original manual. I have both original sets of keys. I have the original leather key fob that came with the car new (although it is not in perfect condition). I have the original jack bag with all accessories (including the little canister with some original fuses and light bulbs). I do NOT have the original tool roll and have been trying to source one.

    Photos The photos I have posted are from when I purchased it (thus the "Forza Motorcars" copyright notices -- I am not affiliated with Forza Motorcars, and I give full credit to them for these photos). They are representative of its current condition, as I have been very careful with it, always garaged it. I just need to get it out in the sun and get some newer photos.

    $39,900 or best offer.

    Please PM me if you are interested in more information or photos. The car is located in the Twin Cities. I will gladly drive it anywhere in the metro area for a PPI (and I could recommend F-Chat's own 2Na to provide that service. He has serviced the car since I have owned it.)

    I thought I posted already, but for some reason, not here - looks great, good price, I'd be all over this if I didn't have a 308QV.

    GLWS!

    Thanks. Spread the word. If I don't sell it here in a few weeks, I'll eBay it. But I'd prefer to sell to someone on Fchat.

    It's interesting how so many of the 80s cars are really pushing my buttons now. It seems cars are hot, then they look dated...then they are classics! GLWS!

    Someone might get a heck of a deal on my car. Sitting at $36,500, no reserve, and ending Friday afternoon...

    I had an interesting question: would I be willing to hold the car for two months so that its 30 years old at the time of sale.

    Yes. If someone wants to buy it for a fair price, I will gladly hold it for a couple months before shipping. I'd even keep it on my insurance.

    Apparently this is significant for certain export markets.

    And if you can't get your price I'm sure there is heated storage available, or even a car museum that might be interested in displaying it for the winter?

    I was short on proper storage space and kept my car in a 10X20 storage unit when I wasn't home.

    Makes a big difference when importing to the UK, the difference between 10% duty on purchase price + 20% tax on top of all of that (inc shipping fees) against 5% duty on the purchase price if over 30 years

    I think this is a bargain and hope you get more than the present bid. Im so tempted

    I'll gladly hold the car until November, if that's what's necessary to close a fair deal. I'd just need a reasonable deposit to that end, with a promise to pay the balance prior to delivery.

    It's a great car. Our own 2NA has serviced the car since I've owned it, so you know it's been in great hands.

    It does state 1986 so would need to hold until some time next year. What month was it registered?
