Ferrari : Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet in Ferrari | eBay Motors Wow... The exterior, interior and engine are just beautiful!!! One of the lowest mileage Mondial I have seen since I have been looking a year ago.
"all original, unrestored" Huh? Has this been sitting shrink wrapped in a climate controlled garage? This is immaculate, a Mondial ready to drive into a Concours.
That's incredible! !! It really is a great car especially as that's the perfect reference of how they really looked when they left the factory. (Apart from the lighter). I couldn't work out what the mesh sheet metal is under the car, never seen that before. Ok boys lets get polishing
Pics are really done well and the car looks like a beauty but he'll never get $54k for the car. The last picture of Christie Brinkley is a cute touch! Cheers, Greg
Pessimist! My car is way better looking and I was hoping to drive my car backwards to get it to 6k miles so maybe I can sell it for $54k USD.
In which photograph? Do you mean the mesh at the back on the underside? That's the US exhaust "diaper."
Yep. "2) The first question every '80s Ferrari buyer asks is always "When were the timing belts changed?" The service history is detailed below, but to get that out of the way, they were changed on December 5, 2012 (4 months ago) with factory belts and Hill tensioner bearings sourced from Ricambi America. They have around 25 miles on them."
Hi Jon, yes the part i mean. Never seen it before, looks like the UK spec cars dont have that. Thanks.
My question is this. What the hell was a new '87 Ferrari doing on Continental's showroom floor in 1988? Doesn't anyone remember the Ferrari boom in the late '80s? ****ing awesome example! IMHO
that is a great car. i would much rather drive that car as a fair weather daily driver than virtually anything new. the mondial will sell to a buy that is looking for an essentially new car but wants something special. there is value in that car!!!
Well, for the right buyer the price is reasonable. To those who think it is too high, I would ask them to go find another one like it! Generally speaking though, if he put this car in the hands of a broker or marketed it correctly instead of whoring it out on flea bay, I would presume he could get mid to high 40's, but it would take a few months to a year. Few people have the patience for that. Assuming the ad is 100% accurate, cars like this cannot be duplicated at any price. I've seen a lot of very low mileage Mondials, but none that look like this one appears to.
If I hadn't found Joe's car I'd be happy to buy this one. Not at 54 just yet, but mid to high 40s sure.
FYI, this weekend I was approached by somebody who remembered my Mondial from a car show, and went out of his way to tell me it was the nicest one he had ever seen. I'm telling you there simply cannot be a nicer more well sorted Mondial than yours. I would rather have yours than this one, when I think of all the time I spent trying to make her perfect I question whether I may have gone insane. I distinctly remember my mechanic telling me she needs nothing and me telling him...then your not looking hard enough! Keep her in good health, but don't forget, I get first dibs when you are ready to part ways!
Sad, but true I suppose. I know all to well that even when you get them dialed in its only for a moment in time. For example,I had the testarossa as good as new when I put her away this winter. It wasn't 600 miles into the driving season before the fusebox decided she needed love and a bonnet bracket cracked from fatigue. If you drive them, things will happen from time to time, but it's much better than the alternative! The key is to stay ahead of the game and not let little problems linger.
