This is a low mileage 1998 Maranello, 5.5L, twelve cylinder in very good condition; but with a damage history. The damage was confined to the drivers area. None of the running gear was damaged. The repair is very professional and I doubt if a Ferrari expert could detect any flaws.
The color combination is one of the most desirable and rarest in the big car Ferrari line. It is black on black!
Recent maintenance: The original tires were replaced in March of this year not because the tires were worn out but because of their age. They were replaced with Goodyear F1, Zspeeds, the recommended size and then balanced. The new tires have less than 30 miles on them, at the time of this ad.
I had both fuel pumps replaced, the fuel lines flushed, and the fuel tank removed and flushed by Ferrari of Central Florida. The oxygen censers and ECU's were replaced.
The hydrolic throwout bearing started to leak so I had it replaced at the Collection in Miami. /The AC compressor was sent out for a rebuild and the system was recharged.
The car starts quickly and idles smoothly. All the coolants are in the green, and it tracks as it should, brakes are excellent. I have 2 keys, the Ferrari battery charger, and the Ferrari toolkit, ( minus a screwdriver), that will go with the sale.
At the conclusion of the sale, I would like the buyer to contact me at the phone number provided. I will require a non refundable wire transfer of $3000 within 2 days of the end of the sale. Balance of the purchase price to be paid by cleared wire transfer within 10 days of end of auction; prior to pickup or delivery of the car.
I would prefer for the winning bidder to pickup the car, but if that is not possible I can deliver the car door to door anywhere south of Orlando for free. I can personally deliver the car to your address anywhere in the U.S., for a fee. Or, I will work with your shipper to facilitate a smooth transfer.
This is your opportunity to own a rare, exotic car for the price of a used BMW.
If you have any questions about the car, payment, or shipping call me at; 239-731-4986 or 239-297-0273. My name is Carl.

'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap
Tue, 04 Jun 2013We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.
The sunniest Ferrari collection you've ever seen, shot for Forza mag
Sat, 30 Aug 2014There's a stable of about 40 beautiful prancing horses hiding in a Tennessee garage. These thoroughbreds aren't out to win the next Triple Crown, though. Instead, this is one of the best collections of Ferraris in the world where you would probably least expect it.
Photographer and auto journalist Clint Davis went there to write a story about collector Phil Bachman for the Ferrari-focused Forza magazine, and he took some dazzling photographs to go along with his words. At the same time, he brought along a friend to film their day meeting Bachman and his sublime collection.
Amassing this many sensational vehicles would be amazing anyway, but Bachman takes his Ferrari obsession even further. He prefers to get his cars in yellow and tries to get the last production example of a given model. In fact, he already has a reservation for the final LaFerrari. You can probably figure out in what color. Keep your eyes open here for glimpses of a plethora of vintage beauties, but the star of the show might be a yellow FXX.
Ferrari planning 458 Speciale Spider?
Wed, 25 Jun 2014The Ferrari 458 comes from a long line of mid-engined V8 supercars to roll out of Maranello, from the 348 and F355 to the 360 and F430. Each has also bred a Spider version, and starting with the 360 Challenge Stradale (through the 430 Scuderia and 458 Speciale), a hardcore performance version. But combining the best attributes of Spider and performance model is relatively new territory for Ferrari, one which it attempted only with the limited-production Scuderia Spider 16M. And if the latest rumors are to be believed, it's about to go at it again.
Though we can't verify its sources, 4WheelsNews says it has double confirmation from within Ferrari that a 458 Speciale Spider is in the works. When reached for confirmation, Ferrari refused to comment, as it typically does on the prospect of new models yet to be announced. Given the precedent of the Scuderia Spider 16M, it would seem to make sense, but for the time being we'll have to chalk this one up as a rumor.
If it were built, the Ferrari 458 Scuderia Spider (or whatever it would ultimately be called) would take the best of the 458 Spider and 458 Speciale to pack the 600-horsepower version of Maranello's sweet-revving 4.5-liter V8 underneath a folding hardtop. The latter is something the 16M did not offer, but crucially, the new McLaren 650S Spider does. We'd also expect only a limited number to be produced at a suitable premium over the Spider's $257k MSRP and the Speciale's $288k sticker.
