You are currently viewing a quite rare 1986 Ferrari Testarossa. This Testarossa is 1 of 12 Ferrari Testarossa's converted by Richard Straman. A quick google search will show that Straman made his claim to fame by converting Ferrari coupes including the 365 Daytona into Ferrari Cabriolets. His work was considered the best of its time. His most iconic conversion was the Testarossa. A quick description of his conversion work includes upper and lower additions in square frame tubing and steel gusseting throughout, that worked seamlessly with the entire package which is a Cabriolet Spyder. His retracting convertible mechanisms are as well designed as the factory would make. This particular year of TR production is marked by a single sided "Flying Mirror" and only a small handful of conversions were this style. This Ferrari was bought in 1988 and commissioned in 1990 by Ken Behring, founder of the Blackhawk Museum and this car was displayed in the Museum as well. It lived its entire life in southern California. There is no rust and little degradation of materials within and without the car. This car has had all services including the major engine out and updated transmission replacement accomplished within the past 18 months. The paint and interior are in outstanding condition and the documented mileage is 9500. Car fax and Ferrari Market letter both back up these claims. This car is the real deal, it is the car that Enzo actually made only one real one of. That one was made for the president of Fiat back in the 1980's. In Rosso Corsa red with a black leather interior , the appeal is unsurpassable. This car is fully sorted and drives as it should, a supercar of the 80's.

A Ferrari-swapped Toyota GT86 sounds menacing
Mon, Oct 31 2016Ryan Tuerck and Gumout's Ferrari-swapped Toyota GT86 has clearly been a grueling labor of love. And now, finally, the competition-only car is near enough to completion that the team could fire up for the first time. And the sound coming out of the custom machine is incredible. In addition to putting out a short clip of the engine's glorious sound, Tuerck gives a detailed walkthrough of the entire vehicle and explains some of the custom touches behind the car. The exhaust, which comes out of the front end, for instance, was done to maintain the Ferrari 458 system's length. The result is supposed to mimic the sound of a stock 458, but we think it sounds more brutal than Maranello intended. This content is hosted by a third party.

The vehicle is on track to be completed this month, and we can't wait to see it shred some tires.

Ferrari confirms Vettel in, Alonso out
Thu, Nov 20 2014For the past several months, a big shift on the Formula One grid has been rumored for next season, but with a big piece of the puzzle now confirmed, much of the speculation can end. Ferrari has announced that it is parting company with Fernando Alonso and bringing in Sebastian Vettel to take his place. The move is a big one for both drivers – each multiple World Champions in their own right – who have lead their respective teams for half a decade now, Alonso coming second in the championship three times with Ferrari, and Vettel having scored four consecutive titles with Red Bull. Vettel has long been a personal protege of former Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher, having won his first grand prix in a Ferrari-powered Toro Rosso at Monza in 2008. Now confirmed by the Scuderia for a three-year deal, Vettel will be driving next season alongside Kimi Raikkonen, who won the title for Ferrari in 2007. That was the same year in which Alonso last drove for McLaren, the team for which he's all but confirmed to be driving next season. The announcement from Woking reportedly hinges on the team's decision over who will drive alongside him, between Jenson Button, Kevin Magnussen or another driver altogether. The confirmation from Ferrari does, however, put to rest wild rumors that the series would move to three-car teams and that Maranello would field Alonso as well as Vettel and Raikkonen. Welcome Sebastian – Vettel and Raikkonen 2015 driver pairing Maranello, 20 November 2014 – Scuderia Ferrari announces that it has reached an agreement of three years duration with Sebastian Vettel, who will drive for the team as from the 2015 season. The driver line-up next season will consist of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel. "Scuderia Ferrari has decided to put its faith in the youngest multiple champion in the history of Formula 1" – commented Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal, Marco Mattiacci. "In Formula 1 terms, Sebastian Vettel is a unique combination of youthfulness and experience and he brings with him that sense of team spirit which will prove invaluable when, together with Kimi, they tackle the challenges awaiting us, as we aim to be front runners again as soon as possible.
Why the Ferrari Testarossa deserves some respect
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Join us for a moment in putting on our way-back hats, zeroing in on the late 1980s. Imagine that you're in your bedroom. Look over at the wall across from your bed. What car do you see on the poster? If you're anything like us, it's a Lamborghini Countach - in fact, it's a trio of Lamborghini Countach models in an array of colors. Oh, and there's also a 1:18-scale diecast Countach in black sitting on our dresser with its scissor doors locked in a skyward embrace.
Of course, the Raging Bull wasn't Italy's only great supercar from the 1980s, especially if you cast your lot at the temple of the Prancing Horse. The Ferrari Testarossa, as pointed out in the latest video from Petrolicious, is an oft unsung hero penned from the stuff boyhood dreams are made of. Far from a *ahem* red-headed stepchild, the Testarossa deserves a place in the minds and hearts of '80s supercar fans the world over.
Scroll down below to watch vintage car collector Joe Ventura talk about the Ferrari Testarossa with beautifully bright red Italian design serving as a fitting backdrop.
