 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.
