1983 Ferrari Mondial QuattroValvole Cabriolet -VIN ZFFMC15A9D0048197
For your consideration is my clean 1983 Ferrari Mondial QV Cabriolet Convertible – the handbuilt four seater that
returned classic Pininfarina styling back to Ferrari and the quintessential four-seat Ferrari drop-top from the
mid-engined 80s!
Wearing just over 39,700 miles, this car has been our family weekend cruiser for the past five years. I have the
factory keys, original books and manuals and a good number of service records from my ownership and before. I
purchased the car from a collector in the Denver area, and prior to that it lived in the San Francisco Bay Area.
It’s been an absolute joy to own, but as with many car enthusiasts my short attention-span has me looking at
other opportunities to fill the garage space that this car is presently occupying…
The key major service item on these cars, and you have doubtless read, is the four-figure five-year timing belt
replacement which on this car was performed earlier this month. At the same time the mechanics addressed the
following:
· Installed new German canvas soft convertible top
· Replaced spark plug wires and extenders
· Replaced engine timing belts
· Replaced tensioner bearings
· Replaced a/c compressor and alternator belt tensioner bearings
· Replaced oil temperature sensor
· Replaced shifter shaft seal and boot
· Replaced transmission oil pan gaskets
· Replaced axle seals
· Replaced oil hose to cylinder head camshaft
· Replaced camshaft seals
· Replaced air pump pulley bearing
· Replaced engine oil and filter
· Changed transmission oil
· Replaced engine air intake hose
The car does not show any sign of fluid leaks and a new battery was installed last month. The convertible top was
replaced with a beautiful German canvas convertible top consistent with the high quality of a Ferrari.
On the inside, this car is in very nice condition. The interior has been refurbished andthe front seats rebuilt
using sturdy padding and beautiful new supple Italian leather. They are extremely comfortable and ready for a
casual cruise or a long drive to the next Mondialpalooza!
The velour carpeting is in excellent condition, and is covered with floor mats featuring the Ferrari emblem. The
dashboard is in excellent condition with no cracks or blemishes. There are no foul odors – there doesn’t appear
to have ever been any smoking or leaks inside. The air conditioning, power windows, convertible top, and power
locks all work properly. The car even comes with a Cobra theft alarm installed. The original factory radio needs
repair or replacement but for me the sound of the Ferrari V8 engine has always been music enough!
Outside, the car is remarkably straight save for a few small parking lot dings. I have not seen any sign of rust
anywhere on the car. The red “Rossa Corsa” paint carries a sparkling shine, and the doors shut with the
appropriate thunk. All of the lenses are in good, clear condition. The wheels are an improvement over the original
TRX metric-style and there is a spare tire in the trunk along with a complete tool kit and jack.
The motor starts easily and settles to a very smooth idle. The steering functions properly, and the 5-speed manual
transmission shifts smoothly. There are no odd noises or whines from the driveline. The brakes are in good
condition and do not pull. The car pulls like a freight train and achieves super-legal speeds in the blink of an
eye.

Ferrari teases more specs on its Enzo successor
Mon, 24 Dec 2012On its web site, Ferrari has divulged a little more info about the supercar that will succeed the Ferrari Enzo. The Ferrari magazine reported that everything the Scuderia has learned in Formula One has gone into its soon-to-be-revealed animal, and this latest disclosure shows just how much that's true. We don't know its length or width, but Ferrari says one of the targets for the car was "a reduction in height and wheelbase to match that of the 458 Italia."
Rory Byrne, the Ferrari F1 designer that's been involved in 11 world championships for the team, has spent three years contributing to chassis development. That chassis will be laid up by hand in the company's F1 composites department, each chassis composed of different kinds of carbon fiber and cured in an autoclave, F1 monocoque-style. That's part of where the lighter weight and vastly heightened torsional and beam rigidity versus the Enzo comes from. Just behind the tub - and behind the driver's back - will be the batteries and fuel tank, again, just as on an F1 car.
The cockpit will be personalized to the driver in a way that is rare among road cars, with each seat made-to-measure for the driver and then set in a fixed position in the cabin. The steering wheel and pedal box will move to accommodate pilots. What's more, we're told that "the occupant's feet are at the same level as the driving position." That, and the angle of the seatback, will provide "an extraordinarily racy feeling."
Ferrari begins releasing official teasers for new supercar
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Regardless of what it will be called, the successor to the Ferrari Enzo will be unveiled next week in Geneva, and like many other automakers, Ferrari will apparently be giving us a slow strip tease of the all-new hybrid supercar.
We've already seen a couple shadowy images of the car's face and rump, but the new shots - provided courtesy of the Ferrari Facebook page - are starting to show us some detail.
The only problem is that we don't exactly know what details we're looking at. In the shot above, that curvy, red real estate could belong to any number of body panels, while the second new teaser shows the Ferrari prancing horse logo with no indication of where on the car it'jk, s located.
Ferrari reveals one-off F12 TRS at Sicily cavalcade
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Every year Ferrari owners gather from all corners of the globe for the annual Ferrari Cavalcade. This year's edition just wrapped up in Sicily, where over 90 proud owners from 27 different countries brought their prides and joys. Some of the participating supercars were more rare and notable than others - included among them several LaFerraris - but the extravaganza included the reveal of one very unique Prancing Horse.
That would be the new F12 TRS. The one-off creation surfaced just last week, the work of the Ferrari Special Projects division for one very fortunate client. It's based on the F12 Berlinetta, but replaces its coupe bodywork with new roadster sheetmetal that incorporates a glass window to reveal the red cylinder heads from which its inspiration - the 250 Testa Rossa - drew its name and a cowled rear deck. The open cockpit is trimmed in leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber, but ditches the glovebox, air vents, carpeting, audio system and other creature comforts.
Contrary to earlier reports, the F12 TRS does not appear to have a hybrid powertrain, the conventional 6.3-liter V12 producing the same 730 horsepower as the coupe to propel this one-off roadster to 62 in 3.1 seconds and to 124 mph in 8.1 - so as you can see, it hardly needed any help in the first place. Check it out in photos above, and feel free to read more in the press release below.
