Rosso Corsa with tan interior, custom mats.  Car is in excellent condition a runs great. 39,500 miles. I purchased it in September of 2010 with 34,033 miles.  Has some wear on the driver seat bolster which is common. Can use a seat re-dye in this area that is an easy do-it-yourself job.  No sticky parts.  E brake handle is the only part that was not redone.  Front and rear bumper and side skirts redone. Rear bumper had a shoddy repair done from a minor rear impact.  Seems like someone backed into it with a trailer hitch. I had it done correctly and it is now perfect.  Front bumper had some scratches underneath which is another common thing with these cars due to the clearance being so low.  I also had skid plates installed.  Side skirts has some rock chips around wheel wells so I had those redone.  Overall the paint is in excellent shape.  There is a clear bra over the hood/fender area.  I installed expensive aftermarket shields on the sides.  Michelin Pilot SS tires were installed @ 37,864 miles so they are like new.  These are the same tires that are used in the current models.  Clutch was done @ 35,728 miles.  Throw out bearing was also replaced with a superior Hill Engineering part. CV boots, motor mounts and all new rear bushings where installed. Dash and instrument pod was recovered in original black leather.  New - F1/clutch sensor.  360 pump upgrade, Seat potentiometers, Tubi headers. Both radiators were replaced with good used units including Scuderia Rampante silicone radiator hoses @ 38,490 miles. Rebuilt rear shocks. New battery. Alpine stereo with CD and iPod hook up. Billet aluminum passenger footrest and dead pedal. Annual service just completed for $995.  I have shown the car in many shows and I took either 1st or 2nd place.  Trophies included in sale.  I have the complete toolkit with tire inflator and all manuals in the original leather pouch. Battery charger hookup with charger. I only have the red master fob and one key.  Last major was done in July 2010.  Ferrari recommends doing the major every three years which no one does.  Most people do their majors every four years and sometimes five.  If I were keeping it I would do the major next summer.  The convertible top is original and needs to be replaced.  There are two rips on either side of the top.  One about three inches and the other about two inches.  They have been stitched up as I was going to replace the top this year.  New tops can be purchased on eBay for $800.  Only other thing is the operation of the convertible top.  It goes down fine but when going up it needs a slight push right behind the driver seat so the fork engages the cam that pushes that side up.  Hard to explain but was never a big deal to me.  It just has to be realigned and I was going to do that when the top was being replaced.  There is a thread on Ferrari Chat explaining how to do this.  Recently had a shifting issue where car was going into neutral for reasons unknown.  Ferrari of Long Island said my TCU accumulator bottle had a leak and needed to be replaced.  I ordered a new 360 bottle and retrofit kit (an OEM 355 accumulator bottle is not available from Ferrari).  It was installed and of course didn't solve the issue.  I wasn't at all happy as you can imagine so I got Ferrari North America involved.  They then found the culprit was the intermittent trunk switch failed and needed to be replaced. This lets the ECU know that the trunk is secured correctly.  A relatively cheap fix that was overlooked.  All is perfect now.
I put in over $20k in upgrades/repairs with receipts to back it up.  I also have service records from 9500 miles
I love this car and it pains me to sell it. There is simply no sound like that of a Ferrari and especially the 355.  Lots of TLC put into it.  I'm moving on to a newer model.  I am being as honest as possible here and if there is anything I missed or if there are any questions, please feel free to ask.  I feel the price is very fair for the work performed and what it needs.

1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 is a love letter to Steve McQueen

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

There have been plenty of movie stars who've been into cars, but few genuine aficionados like Steve McQueen. The legendary King of Cool was known for driving his green Mustang and Porsche prototypes on the big screen, but in his private life, he loved his Ferrari.
There was, of course, his iconic 250 GT Lusso, but back in 1967, the actor and sometimes racer also bought a rare 275 NART Spyder. Sadly, that car was totaled a mere two days after he took possession, and there were no replacements available. So he bought this hardtop 275 GTB/4 instead.
Ferrari's Classiche department recently restored the car to pristine condition and RM Auctions sold it for over $10 million, but there's more to its story than its celebrity provenance and high hammer price. Listen to the guys who worked on it for McQueen tell the car's story in this latest video from the Aficionauto.

Did Ferrari block Montezemolo from becoming F1 chairman?

Wed, Dec 24 2014

The Formula One Group has appointed a series of new directors to its board. But while ousted Ferrari chief Luca di Montezemolo is among them, the latest reports suggest that he was earmarked to become the group's chairman, but that Sergio Marchionne blocked the appointment. Montezemolo, for those just joining us, served as chairman of Ferrari since 1991, but was ousted just a couple of months ago by Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles who took his place at the head of the table in Maranello. During his tenure as Ferrari chief, Montezemolo sat as the team's representative on the F1 board (and also as chairman of the Formula One Teams Association), but despite having broken ties with Ferrari, Luca was renominated to the board as an independent member. That seat on the board, however, could have been at the head of the table, according to circulating reports, had Marchionne not expressed certain reservations, if not blocked the nomination outright. Montezemolo's appointment would have meant that both the F1 Group and the FIA would have been headed up by former Ferrari men, although Marchionne was quoted as saying that if it had been his call, he would have prevented Jean Todt from being elected to the presidency of the FIA as well. The chairmanship of the Formula One Group is separate from the role held by Bernie Ecclestone, who will continue to run the sport's day-to-day operations. Ecclestone has also rejoined the board along with Paul Walsh, the former head of distilling giant Diageo who was also tipped as a favorite to chair the F1 board. That role instead will return to Peter Brabeck, the former head of Nestle, who had previously stepped down from the chair of the Formula One Group.

Ferrari 488 GTB rocks throwback '80s livery in Paris

Tue, Apr 19 2016

We have a soft spot for retro racing liveries – especially when they're applied to road-legal supercars. Like a Porsche 918 Spyder with Martini racing stripes, a Ford GT in Gulf blue and orange, or this latest Ferrari 488 GTB unveiled in Paris. The Tailor Made department in Maranello prepared this one-of-a-kind 488 in tribute to the 308 GTB that Jean Claude Andruet drove to victory twice in the Tour de France Automobile – in 1981 and '82 – only a few years before the event was discontinued. It was one of the most iconic of Ferrari racing liveries (aside from the classic rosso corsa of course) and is beautifully reinterpreted for that car's modern successor. The unique treatment includes a French racing blue and white exterior with Pioneer sponsorship, matte gold wheels, and matte black brake calipers. The interior looks as stripped-out as the 458 Speciale's and features red fabric seats with matte-finish aluminum and carbon-fiber trim. Commissioned by Charles Pozzi, the same Paris dealer that campaigned the original decades ago, the turbocharged retro smurf was unveiled yesterday at the Grand Palais. It marked the start of the Tour Auto Optic 2000, a French rally. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The GTC4Lusso makes its French premiere at the Grand Palais The 488 GTB Tailor Made Pioneer also unveiled for the first time Paris, 18th April 2016 – What better setting than the Grand Palais in Paris for the GTC4Lusso, Ferrari's latest creation, to make its debut on French soil? The new Prancing horse V12 four-seater, four wheel drive with rear-wheel steering, was a magnet for the over 200 journalists who attended the premiere this afternoon on the opening day of the Tour Auto Optic 2000 rally. The GTC4Lusso will be also the star attraction at a gala cocktail in the evening for over four hundred guests who will have the opportunity to see this superb example of a unique mix of benchmark sports car performance, all-weather versatility and sublime elegance. This very important "rendez-vous" is also the occasion for Ferrari to present a unique version of its 488 GTB. In association with its Parisian dealer Charles Pozzi, the very exclusive Tailor Made program imagined a car which pays homage to the 308 Gr4 Pioneer driven by Jean Claude Andruet and two times winner of the Tour de France Auto in 1981 and 1982.
