1983 Ferrari Mondial QuattroValvole Cabriolet -VIN ZFFMC15A9D0048197
For your consideration is my clean 1983 Ferrari Mondial QV Cabriolet Convertible – the handbuilt four seater that
returned classic Pininfarina styling back to Ferrari and the quintessential four-seat Ferrari drop-top from the
mid-engined 80s!
Wearing just over 39,700 miles, this car has been our family weekend cruiser for the past five years. I have the
factory keys, original books and manuals and a good number of service records from my ownership and before. I
purchased the car from a collector in the Denver area, and prior to that it lived in the San Francisco Bay Area.
It’s been an absolute joy to own, but as with many car enthusiasts my short attention-span has me looking at
other opportunities to fill the garage space that this car is presently occupying…
The key major service item on these cars, and you have doubtless read, is the four-figure five-year timing belt
replacement which on this car was performed earlier this month. At the same time the mechanics addressed the
following:
· Installed new German canvas soft convertible top
· Replaced spark plug wires and extenders
· Replaced engine timing belts
· Replaced tensioner bearings
· Replaced a/c compressor and alternator belt tensioner bearings
· Replaced oil temperature sensor
· Replaced shifter shaft seal and boot
· Replaced transmission oil pan gaskets
· Replaced axle seals
· Replaced oil hose to cylinder head camshaft
· Replaced camshaft seals
· Replaced air pump pulley bearing
· Replaced engine oil and filter
· Changed transmission oil
· Replaced engine air intake hose
The car does not show any sign of fluid leaks and a new battery was installed last month. The convertible top was
replaced with a beautiful German canvas convertible top consistent with the high quality of a Ferrari.
On the inside, this car is in very nice condition. The interior has been refurbished andthe front seats rebuilt
using sturdy padding and beautiful new supple Italian leather. They are extremely comfortable and ready for a
casual cruise or a long drive to the next Mondialpalooza!
The velour carpeting is in excellent condition, and is covered with floor mats featuring the Ferrari emblem. The
dashboard is in excellent condition with no cracks or blemishes. There are no foul odors – there doesn’t appear
to have ever been any smoking or leaks inside. The air conditioning, power windows, convertible top, and power
locks all work properly. The car even comes with a Cobra theft alarm installed. The original factory radio needs
repair or replacement but for me the sound of the Ferrari V8 engine has always been music enough!
Outside, the car is remarkably straight save for a few small parking lot dings. I have not seen any sign of rust
anywhere on the car. The red “Rossa Corsa” paint carries a sparkling shine, and the doors shut with the
appropriate thunk. All of the lenses are in good, clear condition. The wheels are an improvement over the original
TRX metric-style and there is a spare tire in the trunk along with a complete tool kit and jack.
The motor starts easily and settles to a very smooth idle. The steering functions properly, and the 5-speed manual
transmission shifts smoothly. There are no odd noises or whines from the driveline. The brakes are in good
condition and do not pull. The car pulls like a freight train and achieves super-legal speeds in the blink of an
eye.

Ferrari F150 Enzo-successor takes some loud laps at Fiorano
Tue, 05 Feb 2013From recent spy shots to leaked information, we're starting to get a good idea about just how amazing the unnamed successor to the Ferrari Enzo will be, but now we've finally gotten to see some video of the car testing at the Fiorano Circuit in Italy. This video not only gives us an earful of the car's screaming engine and rumbling exhaust note, it also affords us a view of the car without its fish-face camouflage that it has been caught wearing recently.
The video shows the new supercar testing around the 12-turn, 1.877-mile track with an Enzo, and it is interesting to hear the differences between the 651-horsepower Enzo and its reportedly 950-hp hybrid successor. Scroll down to watch the newest Ferrari going through some track testing, and be sure to turn your speakers up.
LaFerrari Spider among Maranello's future product plans
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Niche though its products may be, Ferrari typically rolls out a new model every year. 2009, for example, saw the introduction of the California. In 2010 came the 458 Italia, followed by the 458 Spider in 2011. In 2012 we greeted the FF, and in 2013 both the F12 Berlinetta and 458 Speciale. This year the hyper-exotic LaFerrari was joined by the California T, and you can bet that Maranello will keep up that pace by rolling out new versions of and replacements for each of these models in succession.
Among the plans which Car and Driver reports Ferrari has afoot will be an open-top LaFerrari Spider - something which the Prancing Horse marque hasn't done at the top of its range since the F50, which came exclusively with a removable hardtop. The 6.3-liter hybrid V12 will likely carry over unchanged, as will most of the other parameters, but for the joy of experiencing 1,000 horsepower with the wind in your hair - and the exclusivity of being one of the just 50 owners - we're told to expect a price tag roughly double that of the existing $1.35 million coupe.
Of course, Ferrari has more plans than simply chopping the roof off its hybrid hypercar. In Geneva next March, the House that Enzo Built is tipped to introduce a Modificato version of the 458 with a twin-turbo V8 producing around 670 horsepower - over one hundred horses more than in the new California T. A refresh for the all-wheel-drive FF is also said to be underway for 2016, when it will receive a less awkward roofline and the possible addition of a V8 base version alongside the V12 that will remain naturally aspirated. As it will in the updated F12 due the following year.
1955 Belgian GP movie tells the story of Spa
Sun, 25 Aug 2013With the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix happening this weekend, Shell reminded a few guests what the Spa-Francorchamps track and Belgian countryside were like in 1955. That year the petroleum company made a 30-minute movie about the grand prix - this is back when the track was called the Francorchamps National Circuit, near the town of Spa, and a list of its important corners didn't include a mention of Eau Rouge - where it was doing the same thing it still does today: working on fuels and lubricants via its technical partnership with Ferrari.
To create the mood, journalists were invited to a vintage cinema where they mingled with Ferrari F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa and other extras in period fifties gear, and watched a screening of 1955 Belgian Grand Prix. You can scroll down for a screening of your own, as well as the press release, minus the petits-fours and pinups.
