1982 Ferrari Mondial 8. Recent Major service with timing belts, tensioner bearings, valve adjustment and new hoses and belts, and water pump rebuild. New iridium spark plugs and new wires and rotors. Unfortunately, while tuning it after the major service, it threw a rod through the block.
The car is in good condition, but has dings, chips and flaws, and shows evidence of poor body work and paint matching in a few minor spots. The seats show very little wear. As with most Ferrari's of this age, the power windows are slow / stuck, and the power antenna, and mirrors don't work as they should. The engine ran well and the transmission shifted as it should.
It is definately a project vehicle with the greatest obstacle being the engine. If you have access to a vintage 2 valve engine block, you can have a Ferrari for a very small investment. I have a few contacts that have engine parts that I can pass the information along to the new owner.
If the car sells for $9400 or more, I will include the "348" wheels and Michelin Pilot Tires (285 /40 / R17 rear, 225 / 45 / R17 front). If the final bid is less than that amount, the car will come with generic (non-Ferrari) wheels and non-performance tires with the expectation that you will supply your own wheels and tires.
I have included a phote of the actual vin plate, and the VIN number needed to be corrected this year after years of having the wrong number in the DMV system. The 5th digit was listed on the old title as a 0 (zero) when it is actually a "D". It was verified and corrected with Utah DMV in August / September of 2012.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer any concerns.
Note*** If the final winning bid is less that $9400, the Ferrari 348 wheels and Michelin Pilot tires will not be included, but will be replaced with non-Ferrari Wheels and non performance tires.
The car brakes and steers, but does not run due to the hole in the engine block from a thrown rod. I can assist with coordinating shipping from my driveway.

Ferrari still finalizing LaFerrari hardware? [w/videos]
Wed, 24 Jul 2013McLaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini helped make this year's Geneva Motor Show one of the most exciting in recent memory, but the LaFerrari might be a little further away from production than its McLaren P1 hypercar rival. According to GTSprit.com, it sounds like Ferrari is still trying to hammer out the the car's details to ensure the lucky 499 souls laying down $1.5 million aren't left in the dust by a brightly colored McLaren.
While it's not clear what sort of things Ferrari is still working on, the continued development aspect is somewhat substantiated by the fact that the 949-horsepower hybrid supercar is still running around Italy wearing camouflage - albeit light camo. As proof of this, the site also found a pair of enthusiastic amateur spy videos that get some good rolling shots of the LaFerrari out testing. They also show how well the car can handle a roundabout. Both videos are posted below.
LaFerrari XX prototype pushed so hard that its suspension fails
Sun, 13 Jul 2014Ferrari has a real challenge on its hands. It made the new LaFerrari hybrid hypercar so extreme already that it left little room to crank it up to 11 and turn it into an XX development prototype like it did with the Enzo and the 599 before it. So it's really going to have to push the envelop to take it that extra step.
That's what it has apparently set out to do with this LaFerrari prototype at Monza, where the Prancing Horse marque was spotted preparing the upcoming LaFerrari XX. In fact, testers ran the prototype so hard that they broke the car's right rear suspension. Which is bound to happen, we guess, when you try to find that extra bit of performance in a vehicle that's already one of the most capable ever devised, but only goes to show how much deeper Ferrari will have to dig to find that even sharper edge.
Either that or Ferrari's working on some sort of four-wheel steering system with automatic camber adjustment... See for yourself in the video below.
2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Where the current roadgoing Ferrari coupe with its rear-mounted V8 can go beyond this Speciale edition, I don't know. The 458 Italia and Spider already hold a very dear place in the hearts of anyone who has driven them on a sunny day over great roads or tracks, and I was pretty sure nothing could beat the heady sensory combo presented in the 458 Spider when I first drove it back in 2011. I may have to change my opinion now.
Companies like Ferrari are in the enviable position of sprinkling performance dust on their already-great base cars, all just to make them a skosh better and grab us again by the loins for one more model year. Some perspective: in 2002, the legendary Enzo set its personal best around Ferrari's 1.9-mile track at Fiorano, pulling a 1:24.9. This 458 Speciale with four fewer cylinders and more weight beats it with a time of 1:23.5, and not once during my laps did I feel as though I might die if my slightest judgment behind the wheel was less than on the money.
