1986 Ferrari Mondial Cabriolet on 2040-cars
Gilbert, Minnesota, United States
For more details email me at: hipolitohrroytek@ukboss.com .
For sale is my 1986 Ferrari Mondial 3.2. Red on tan leather. The car has about 21,500 original miles. I purchased
it a year ago from a noted collector in the Pittsburgh area. His personal mechanic maintained it very well, along
with the rest of his phenomenal collection. I have maintenance records from his years of ownership and mine. I love
the car, but I am selling it to make room for another Ferrari in my limited garage space.
Mechanicals. The car is mechanically excellent. The engine starts easily every time. It runs very strongly and revs
smoothly. Excellent compression (as tested last fall -- those are the photos with the spark leads detached. Note
how clean the engine is. That is its natural state. It does not use or leak oil.)
The transmission is perfect. It slots into all gears (including first-to-second) whether warm or cold. The belt
service is current and has had only a few thousand miles. The brakes are excellent. The suspension is good and not
squeaky. I am aware of no current mechanical issues.
Wheels and Tires. The car comes with two complete sets of wheels and tires -- the original metric set (for shows,
with factory original tires) and a second set (which I run on the car, with easier-to-source tires). Both are
Ferrari Mondial OEM wheels (the non-metrics are from a later year). The wheels are in excellent condition. If I
were to keep the car, I would consider replacing the daily-use tires in the spring.
Body. The body is in excellent condition. I believe the paint work is all original, and it is in fine condition.
There are two or three miniscule door dings on the sides of the body, visible on close inspection in bright light.
I assume these are from car doors in parking lots (all predate my ownership). There are some rock chips on the
front of the car. Otherwise, the paint is excellent. It is very beautiful and deep. There is no rust whatsoever.
There are no scratches.
Cabriolet Top. The top is in very good condition. No rips or wrinkles on the exterior, and the fabric is taut. It
opens and closes easily. The rear window is very slightly yellowed, but you can see through it easily. The inside
of the top has light wear at a few points where the beige fabric contacts the mechanical apparatus. It closes well.
I have the original cover for the top as well as an aftermarket leather top (both fit well, but the original covers
are very costly, so I do not use it). The rubber weather stripping between the front and rear windows (which are
designed to bend when the top goes up and down) are partially perished. They could use replacement.
Interior. The interior is in excellent condition, with no rips, tears, stains, or anything else. The leather has
almost no signs of wear. The carpet is very good.
Dash and Electrics. Everything works. All the buttons, lights, and signals work well. The windows go up and down
easily, although the rear windows are a bit slow and could do with re-lubrication. The air conditioning--a known
problem on these cars--works well in this vehicle. I have the CD player that came with the car (a Denon unit that
does not function). I replaced it recently with a nice Kenwood unit with Blue tooth, etc, which works well. The
radio antenna works well, although it makes some noise and could probably do with lubrication.
Accessories. I have the original leather binder with the original manual. I have both original sets of folding
keys. I have the original leather key fob that came with the car new (although it is not in perfect condition). I
have the original jack bag with all accessories (including the little canister with some original fuses and light
bulbs). I do not have the original tool roll. They can be sourced online.

Kimi Raikkonen moving to Ferrari?
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Kimi Raikkonen, easily one of our favorite current drivers in Formula 1, may be making a move from Lotus to Ferrari, according to a Finnish tabloid called Ilta-Sanomat. Raikkonen, who won the driver's championship in 2007 with the Italian brand, is in high demand and is also rumored to have options on the table from Red Bull and his current team.
Of course, a move by Kimi to Ferrari means at least one of the Maranello-based outfit would need to find another ride. Driving ace Fernando Alonso has publicly voiced his displeasure with the Ferrari chassis, and rumors have the Spaniard considering a move to Red Bull to replace Mark Webber. Buckle up, folks, this Silly Season is shaping up to be bumpy...
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO for sale in Germany at $64 million
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Prices keep climbing for the Ferrari 250 GTO with virtually no end in sight. In 1969 one sold for just $2,500, but by the 1980s they were trading for hundreds of thousands, then millions, then tens of millions to the point that the last last year, one was reported to have changed hands at $52 million. But now there's a GTO for sale in Germany that could eclipse even that gargantuan price tag.
Ferrari made 39 examples of the 250 GTO between 1962 and 1962, and the item listing on mobile.de doesn't give much in the way of specifics as to which exactly we're looking at. But last we checked, there were only two GTOs in Germany, and the other one was silver. That leaves chassis number 3809GT, which was delivered new in '62 to Switzerland and participated in numerous endurance races and hillclimb events throughout the early 60s. 3809GT has been owned until now by one Hartmut Ibing, who bought it in 1976 when values were in the tens of thousands, not tens of millions. Given how his asset has appreciated so dramatically, and with less than 10,000 miles on the odometers over 52 years, we could understand how Ibing would want to cash out.
Of course we could be mistaken and we could be looking at an entirely different example - the vast majority were, after all, painted red and fitted with blue upholstery just like this one - but either way, we're looking at a price tag of 47.6 million euros. That's nearly $64 million at today's rates, inclusive of Germany's 19 percent VAT rate that adds a staggering $10 million in taxes to the pre-tax price of 40 million euros, which comes in under $54 million but would still be the most ever paid for a GTO (or really, just about any car ever made).
What's it like to wakeboard behind a Ferrari F50? Glad you asked
Wed, Nov 26 2014Peons. Peasants. Plebians. Ohioans. You think the videos that show you water skiing or wakeboarding behind pickup trucks are cool? They aren't. Wakeboarding behind a Ferrari F50, though, is most assuredly awesome. Those over-wealthy Einsteins at YouTube channel Tax The Rich have released their latest stunt, which shows a charming yellow F50 towing a wakeboarder down what looks like an irrigation canal. It really is as cool as it sounds.
