This is one of three cars from my collection which I am auctioning on Ebay.  The other two are a 1994 Mercedes Benz SL600 Convertible and a custom built 1955 Jaguar Convertible (originally a four door Mark VII salon) which I will list within a few days.  I must sell two in order to get garage space for new cars I have coming.  If interested, please see the separate listings.

This Ferrari is an absolute joy to drive.  Always garaged, solid, runs perfectly, has that great sound, does not have a mark on it.  Paint, chrome, stainless, glass, all in excellent condition.  Non-smoker.  With so few miles, it easily passes for a much newer car.  Note the original tire sticker on the windshield and the sticker inside the spare wheel.  Also note the fuse box is perfectly clear - not cloudy.  Everything works fine, including the pop-up headlights.  No leaks of any kind.  The radio is a new Pioneer as are the speakers, but I still have the original Blaupunkt if you want to show the car.  (The Blaupunkt could be repaired but very expensive.)  The tires are correct, show very little wear with no cracking, and could be original, but I am not sure.  I doubt the spare has ever been on the ground.  The wheels do not have a mark on them. 

The car comes with owners manuals, original pouches, two sets of original keys, tool kit with spare parts, extra belts, and both the full cover and the targa cover.  (See pictures) 

I am told this is the only mid-engine Ferrari ever built with seating for four.  It is actually pretty comfortable in any seat.  You can drive this car anywhere and not have any problems at all.  The only consideration might be the manual top.  I believe it is original and I don't think it has been up much in the car's history.  The result is that it is very stiff and difficult to raise.  I removed the rear metal stiffeners and that helped a little, but a new top and boot would give the car new zing.  The air conditioner does not blow very cold and probably needs a recharge.  I will try to have that done before the car sells.  And finally, the side of the driver's side seat shows a bit of wear which I am treating with leather conditioners that seem to be doing the trick.  Other than that, the car is turn key. 

As background, the car was sold new in Germany in 1985 and shipped to the USA shortly thereafter.  That is why the odometer is in kilometers.  I am the third owner.

The car has been serviced by a certified Ferrari mechanic who has given me a letter vouching for its condition.  And one more very good thing.  If you know about Ferraris, you know that the frequent timing belt changes are the single most expensive maintenance that comes with owning one.  THIS Ferrari is the only one that was built which does not require lifting the engine to change the belt. Thus maintenance is much less expensive to do.

Finally, I suggest you have a mechanic verify the condition of the car for your peace of mind before your final bid.

The VIN # is ZFFLC15B000053929. 

Thank you.

Berger and Vettel swap F1 cars old and new at the Red Bull Ring

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

This weekend the Formula One circus heads to Spielberg. No, not the Hollywood director, but the town in Austria that's home to the Österreichring. Subsequently known as the A1-Ring, these days it's called the Red Bull Ring, which makes this weekend's revived Austrian Grand Prix something of a home race for the defending champion Red Bull Racing team. But long before that it was the home race of the sixteen F1 drivers that call Austria their home - not the least of them Gerhard Berger.
The only Austrian driver to have won a grand prix (ten of them, all told) but not a championship, Berger was a fixture of F1 racing in the 1980s and 90s, spending much of his career driving for Ferrari. He later ran Scuderia Toro Rosso for three seasons, during which time Sebastian Vettel won his first (and still the team's only) grand prix. So with the Austrian Grand Prix back on the calendar for this weekend, the two highly accomplished drivers headed to the Red Bull Ring for a little juxtaposition.
Gerhard rolled in with the Ferrari F1/87-88C in which he won the 1988 Italian Grand Prix at Monza (which was, incidentally, the same race that Vettel won for STR twenty years later under Ferrari power), and Seb in his championship-winning RB8. Then they switched off, giving the four-time world champion his first chance to drive a grand prix racer with three pedals. If you can't believe that, it's also (as far as we can tell) the first time, despite years of neck-and-neck competition and retention of some of the best drivers on the grid, that a Red Bull or Toro Rosso driver has driven a Ferrari F1 car, and vice versa. See how it went down in the video below.

Ferrari to pay Fiat Chrysler $2.8B prior to spinoff

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is trying to get capital together in a hurry to finance the automaker's growth plans. Among its strategies to raise money, Ferrari will be spun off from the FCA mothership next year with an initial public offering. However, the Italian supercar maker will be a couple billion dollars poorer at the start of its new life.
According to a filing with US regulators obtained by Automotive News, FCA intends to "enter into certain other transactions including distributions and transfers of cash from Ferrari currently estimated at 2.25 billion euros ($2.8 billion)" before it spins the supercar maker off. Those funds might include paying a dividend to investors, and FCA possibly transferring some of its debt to the Prancing Horse.
The Ferrari IPO will likely be in the second or third quarter of 2015, according to Automotive News. Ten percent of the automaker will go onto the public market in the US and possibly Europe too, and 80 percent will be distributed among current FCA shareholders. The other 10 percent is held by co-chairman Piero Ferrari, according to AN.
