Hello and welcome to my auction.
Up for auction is my beloved 1990 Mondial T with 114,500 miles. I purchased this car in southern California approx 6 years ago in September of 2007 from an older gentleman who used it regularly with 102,000 miles on it. Everyone told me to avoid a Ferrari with this many miles but I must say after having three Ferrari's over the years, I have found them to be the most quality built and reliable machines that I have ever owned. When I purchased the car, I used it to drive around Southern California sight seeing when I was in town, I kept the car in Southern California for approximately 5 years until driving it back to Chicago just recently within the past year.
For those of you who may not know this, the Mondial T which was manufactured from 1989 to 1993 is a much more advanced car to that of the older Mondial's, it has the same engine, transmission and drivetrain from the 348 which makes it a much more robust and reliable machine. There were only 1,150 of Mondial T's ever made yet it shares many of the same parts as the 348 making it a very user friendly car.
I would describe the car as a driver, yet it does not look like it has 114k miles on it (This is typical of a California car).
Below is a list of services that have been performed since I have owned the car.
1. 30k mile service approximately 2k miles ago. $3,200
2. New timing belt from Ferrari. (Have pictures of the major service). $80
3. New timing belt tensioner rollers from Ferrari. $400
4. New valve cover gaskets.
5. New spark plugs.
6. New spark plug wire set. $650
7. New ignition coils from Ferrari $440
8. New Ignition modules from Ferrari. $450
9. New crankshaft sensors. $250
10. New Michelin Pilot sport tires with approx 3k miles on them, awesome grip. $1,000
11. New blower motor. $250
12. New TUBI exhaust system with cat bypass pipes from TUBI, sounds amazing. (original muffler included with sale of car) $3,400.00
13. New convertible top boot cover. $500
14. New interstate battery. $100
15. New alternator $320
As you can see, I have a habit of replacing things before they break to promote reliability.
Below is a list of items that need attention although the cosmetic items I have lived with since I purchased the car.
1. Right rear shock absorber needs to be rebuilt, there is a place in Ohio that will rebuild it for about $250. They are very reputable, I will give you their contact info.
2. The blower motor resistor needs to be replaced, the new blower motor only works on High speed. The heater and AC both work well.
3. There are a few areas of the paint which have been buffed though and chipped (please see pictures). I bought the car this way. (You don't notice it when you are driving :)
4. The center console trim is cracked near to the ashtray.
5. The drivers side seat bolster is ripped yet very fixable. I bought the car this way with the tailor made sheepskins and elected not to repair the seat because the sheep skins are very comfortable.
6. There is a shallow dent on the passenger side rear quarter panel in front of the tire. (I bought the car this way, it is barely noticeable).
7. The turn signal stalk has to be held when making a right turn (again, I bought the car this way and have enjoyed driving it very much).
8. The passenger side windows are a bit slow (typical of Ferrari's).
I truly have had some of the best times in my life with this car, I wish I could keep it and continue to have it a part of my life but my priorities have shifted somewhat and I unfortunately must part ways with it and some other toys as well. I will certainly miss it a lot....
I would like too see it go to a good home preferably to someone with some mechanical knowledge and abilities. It is a very easy and practical car to work on.
I will accept bank wire transfers or cash as payment.
I have a clear title which I will sign over to the winning bidder.
I am able to pick up the winning bidder at the major airport here in Chicago, we can conduct the transaction here and you can drive the car home or ship it.
I will assist you in any way that I can. Like I said, I just want this car to go to a good home..
Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have about the car. I can be reached at 847 849 7660 Andy.
This auction will end on Monday night August 19th at 8pm pacific time, 9 pm mountain time, 10 pm central time and 11pm eastern time, please save the date.
Thanks and happy bidding.

All four Ferrari hypercars hit Fiorano at once
Tue, May 5 2015Some supercar fanatics would give anything for a chance to drive a Ferrari, much less one of its flagship hypercars. But this one lucky devil got to drive all four of 'em. At Fiorano. Of course this isn't just any old lucky devil. He's Dario Benuzzi, who's been Ferrari's chief test driver since 1969. That means he probably knows the company's private Fiorano test track better than anyone, and he has one of the best jobs in the world. But even this had to be a treat for Benuzzi, driving the F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari back to back around the circuit. (All they need now is a 288 GTO to round out the action, like one owner did when he drove down to Italy with his best buddies in a convoy of scarlet hypercars, pictured in the gallery below.) Watch the video above to see it all go down and to hear some of Benuzzi's impressions on the progress of the flagship Ferrari.

Ferrari looking to become even more exclusive
Thu, 09 May 2013While most automakers are clawing and scratching for every possible sale, it sounds like Ferrari is content in losing a few potential customers in the name of better exclusivity and higher profits. Autocar reports that Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo recently stated that the Italian automaker hopes to sell fewer than 7,000 units globally in 2013 compared to last year's tally of 7,318.
As a part of this plan, Ferrari will be slowing its production lines and trying to create a balanced market for its cars in the US, the Middle East, Europe and China - the latter two being the automaker's biggest markets. Montezemolo also said that Ferrari would not be expanding its model lineup with SUVs, sedans or small cars.
Marchionne's FCA-GM merger might come after Ferrari spinoff
Sat, Sep 5 2015Sergio Marchionne is continuing to rumble about working out a merger with General Motors, but don't expect anything big to happen before at least early next year. That's because Marchionne would likely wait for the Ferrari spin-off to be complete before beginning his next big deal, according to Automotive News. While the Ferrari IPO on the New York Stock Exchange is expected in the coming weeks, that only concerns 10 percent of the shares. The remaining 80 percent of stock is being distributed among shareholders in 2016. Piero Ferrari holds the final 10 percent with no intention to sell. This strategy allows FCA to claim 80 percent of the Prancing Horse's profits in the automaker's 2015 financial results. According to Automotive News, the tactic has other advantages, as well. FCA would be flush with cash by waiting for the spin-off to be complete, and it would keep Ferrari separate if a GM merger actually happens. Marchionne thinks Ferrari could be valued at over $11 billion in the IPO, and it could make FCA $3.3 billion richer when complete. Marchionne believes a combined FCA/GM could sell 17 million vehicles a year globally and rake in $30 billion in earnings. In the CEO's opinion, the two automakers are wasting money by developing components to do the same things on their vehicles. Although, so far the General's top execs are rebuffing all of his advances.
