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.

Autoblog remembers its favorite Ferrari models of the Montezemolo Era
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Italian cars have a reputation for drawing out the fiery, emotional and passionate sides of car enthusiasts - something that becomes abundantly clear when you ask a group of Autoblog editors to rank a list of their favorites.
With the departure of Luca di Montezemolo from Ferrari being fresh on our collective minds today, your friendly team of editors started pleasantly discussing which of the cars launched during his era was our favorite. The conversation was rousing, so we thought it would be entertaining to put the choices to a quick ranked vote, and bring you a sort of Editors' Choice list for road-going Ferraris from the 1990s through today.
Then, of course, all hell broke loose.
Totaled Ferrari Dino sculpture sold for $250k
Wed, 06 Nov 2013How much would you pay for a Dino? Although this sub-brand was supposed to offer lower-cost alternatives to more expensive Ferraris, a 246 GTS model with "chairs and flares" can fetch big bucks. The later, more angular 308 GT4 is less desirable, but the one above just sold for $250,000. Oh, and it's a complete wreck - an absolute write-off, as you can see. So how did it fetch a quarter million when it wouldn't be worth that much in pristine condition? Because this is art.
"Objet trouvé", to be specific, the French term for a common object elevated to a work of art. That's the way it ended up displayed by celebrated French artist Bertrand Lavier and the Galerie Yvon Lambert at the Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain (FIAC) art fair at the Grand Palais in Paris last week, where an unnamed Turkish collector paid the landmark price. Let's hope he's not planning on restoring it, because it's apparently worth more totaled.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
