A great opportunity to have a great driving car! Awesome sound, manual steering, gated shifter... It doesn't get any better than this! Contact me for more photos and a driving video.
It just had a major service and valve/head refresh (Approx $22k) at the local Ferrari dealer in fall of 2019. It's fresh and ready to go. Paint correction performed by a local detail shop. The current owner upgraded to the stereo to allow iPhone/Android connectivity. In addition there was additional clear film installed to protect the pain near the targa top attachment sites.

The previous owner had the vehicle sent to Bradan Group of West Babylon, New York in 2014 for refurbishment that included a partial repaint, suspension and interior work, and an engine-out service for new belts, bearings, and more. The car is finished in black over tan and powered by a 3.4-liter V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle.

The car comes with a tool kit, factory manuals, two indoor car covers, spares, and a clear Illinois title.
