Hello and welcome to my auction.
Up for auction is my beloved 1990 Mondial T with 114,500 miles. I purchased this car in southern California approx 6 years ago in September of 2007 from an older gentleman who used it regularly with 102,000 miles on it. Everyone told me to avoid a Ferrari with this many miles but I must say after having three Ferrari's over the years, I have found them to be the most quality built and reliable machines that I have ever owned. When I purchased the car, I used it to drive around Southern California sight seeing when I was in town, I kept the car in Southern California for approximately 5 years until driving it back to Chicago just recently within the past year.
For those of you who may not know this, the Mondial T which was manufactured from 1989 to 1993 is a much more advanced car to that of the older Mondial's, it has the same engine, transmission and drivetrain from the 348 which makes it a much more robust and reliable machine. There were only 1,150 of Mondial T's ever made yet it shares many of the same parts as the 348 making it a very user friendly car.
I would describe the car as a driver, yet it does not look like it has 114k miles on it (This is typical of a California car).
Below is a list of services that have been performed since I have owned the car.
1. 30k mile service approximately 2k miles ago. $3,200
2. New timing belt from Ferrari. (Have pictures of the major service). $80
3. New timing belt tensioner rollers from Ferrari. $400
4. New valve cover gaskets.
5. New spark plugs.
6. New spark plug wire set. $650
7. New ignition coils from Ferrari $440
8. New Ignition modules from Ferrari. $450
9. New crankshaft sensors. $250
10. New Michelin Pilot sport tires with approx 3k miles on them, awesome grip. $1,000
11. New blower motor. $250
12. New TUBI exhaust system with cat bypass pipes from TUBI, sounds amazing. (original muffler included with sale of car) $3,400.00
13. New convertible top boot cover. $500
14. New interstate battery. $100
15. New alternator $320
As you can see, I have a habit of replacing things before they break to promote reliability.
Below is a list of items that need attention although the cosmetic items I have lived with since I purchased the car.
1. Right rear shock absorber needs to be rebuilt, there is a place in Ohio that will rebuild it for about $250. They are very reputable, I will give you their contact info.
2. The blower motor resistor needs to be replaced, the new blower motor only works on High speed. The heater and AC both work well.
3. There are a few areas of the paint which have been buffed though and chipped (please see pictures). I bought the car this way. (You don't notice it when you are driving :)
4. The center console trim is cracked near to the ashtray.
5. The drivers side seat bolster is ripped yet very fixable. I bought the car this way with the tailor made sheepskins and elected not to repair the seat because the sheep skins are very comfortable.
6. There is a shallow dent on the passenger side rear quarter panel in front of the tire. (I bought the car this way, it is barely noticeable).
7. The turn signal stalk has to be held when making a right turn (again, I bought the car this way and have enjoyed driving it very much).
8. The passenger side windows are a bit slow (typical of Ferrari's).
I truly have had some of the best times in my life with this car, I wish I could keep it and continue to have it a part of my life but my priorities have shifted somewhat and I unfortunately must part ways with it and some other toys as well. I will certainly miss it a lot....
I would like too see it go to a good home preferably to someone with some mechanical knowledge and abilities. It is a very easy and practical car to work on.
I will accept bank wire transfers or cash as payment.
I have a clear title which I will sign over to the winning bidder.
I am able to pick up the winning bidder at the major airport here in Chicago, we can conduct the transaction here and you can drive the car home or ship it.
I will assist you in any way that I can. Like I said, I just want this car to go to a good home..
Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you have about the car. I can be reached at 847 849 7660 Andy.
This auction will end on Monday night August 19th at 8pm pacific time, 9 pm mountain time, 10 pm central time and 11pm eastern time, please save the date.
Thanks and happy bidding.

Ferrari 458 Italia becomes most expensive prize ever on Price Is Right
Fri, 26 Apr 2013In case you haven't been paying attention, it's "Big Money Week" on the long-running The Price Is Right televised game show. In a nutshell, it means that more than a million dollars in cash and prizes are up for grabs for those lucky enough to "come on down," play some games and correctly guess product retail prices.
Moments after opening the show Thursday, host Drew Carey broke the unexpected news. "Today you are going to see the single-most-expensive prize in the history of the daytime Price is Right," he boasted before the curtains were pulled back to review a brand-new Ferrari 458 Italia Spider.
To win the car, the contestant had to play "Three Strikes" - blindly pulling numbers out of a bag and putting them in the correct price sequence before grabbing three dreaded red strikes. As expected, your typical The Price Is Right contestant is about as familiar with today's retail Ferrari pricing as they are with fractional jet ownership. We won't spoil the fun of whether or not a lucky contestant gets to drive the $285,716 exotic home (and pay a midsize sedan's worth of taxes), but feel free to speed ahead to about the three-minute mark on the video below to watch the reveal.
2015 Monaco F1 Grand Prix race recap [spoilers]
Mon, May 25 2015Lewis Hamilton came to Monaco with a new three-year deal with Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a vow to not let anything, including any "mistakes" by teammate Nico Rosberg, stand in the way of his best qualifying effort. Mercedes reportedly made it rain with a 100-million-pound deal, and Hamilton made it rain right back with his first pole position at Monaco. Rosberg did make a mistake but this time it was behind Hamilton, which meant he stuffed-up the qualifying attempts of rival drivers like Sebastian Vettel. So Rosberg starts second, 0.342 behind Hamilton but 0.449 ahead of Vettel in the Ferrari. Daniel Ricciardo thinks he should have been third, but a communication error with his engineers left him in the wrong engine setting for his final hot lap, so by the very first corner he'd lost the time he would have needed to get higher than fourth on the grid. The second Infiniti Red Bull Racing of Daniil Kvyat slots in behind him, ahead of the second Ferrari of Kimi "Not A Very Happy Day" Raikkonen, who just can't get it going lately. Sergio Perez did for the Sahara Force India what the car can't do on its own, which is grab a top-ten qualifying spot. Toro Rosso rookie Carlos Sainz had qualified eighth but missed a call to the weigh bridge, so he's been slapped into the pit lane. Pastor Maldonado in the Lotus inherits his eighth place, ahead of rookie Max Verstappen in the second Toro Rosso, and Jenson Button in the McLaren. Button only got up there because of two penalties: for Sainz, and Romain Grosjean who had qualified 11th but took a penalty for a gearbox change. Want to know how hard it is to do better on race day than in qualifying at Monaco? Even the never-say-die Fernando Alonso said, "Monte Carlo is a train of cars on Sunday, the race finishes on Saturday afternoon." Well obviously, he didn't take Max Verstappen's seek-and-destroy tactics into account. The young Dutchman had made passing look like a real option in Monaco, getting past Maldonado at St. Devote on Lap 7 after a bit of argy-bargy on Lap 6, then taking advantage of blue flags to slink past teammate Carlos Sainz and Williams driver Valtteri Bottas while hiding in Sebastian Vettel's slipstream. He tried the same move on Romain Grosjean on Lap 65, but Grosjean locked him out. Verstappen lined up the Lotus driver over the following laps, then looked like he slipped to the inside at St.
Race Recap: 2014 Malaysian F1 Grand Prix [spoilers]
Sun, 30 Mar 2014The Malaysian Grand Prix is always one of the jokers on the Formula One calendar: you know it's going to rain during the weekend, but you don't know when. This year it began during qualifying, the dammed up clouds over the Sepang track dumping their reservoirs just before Q1 and causing a 50-minute delay.
The conditions helped Infiniti Red Bull Racing close the gap on Mercedes AMG Petronas and split the Silver Arrows cars, Sebastian Vettel lining up in second on the grid behind pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton, ahead of Nico Rosberg. Fernando Alonso recovered from a suspension-damaging incident with Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kyvat to take fourth, followed by the second Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo in fifth, then the off-form Kimi Räikkönen in sixth in the second Ferrari, Nico Hülkenberg in the Force India, star rookie Kevin Magnussen in the first McLaren ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne in the Toro Rosso, and Jenson Button in the second McLaren finishing up the top ten.
After that, though, the clouds decided they were done with F1. Save a few drop at the final corners during the race, the track stayed completely dry. And except for the beginning and the end, for the most part, so was the race.
