Vehicle Description
2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta
VIN: ZFFZR52A810124357
Motor: 63868
Unveiled at the Paris Show in 2000, the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina
was so named to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Ferrari's
coachbuilder and stylist, Pininfarina. A strictly limited edition
of just 448 numbered cars were built, with the last leaving the
Maranello factory in December 2001.
The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was specifically designed to be
reminiscent of legendary Ferrari road race stars of the likes of
the 166 MM, the 250 GT California and the 365 GTS4 Daytona. The
aim, in fact, was to create an open-top front-engined 12-cylinder
with a retro feel to it. The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was designed
and developed to be a unique interpretation of Ferrari's purest and
most extreme sports cars. It was a deliberate and provocative
departure from the rest of the range, and as such, it was made
available only as a limited edition of just 448. Each car was
numbered and its number displayed on a special in-car plaque signed
by Sergio Pininfarina.
This car is number 379 of 448 made, and was originally sold at
Ferrari of Central Florida in December of 2001 to Scott Rosen of
Casselberry, Florida. The red Barchetta would remain in Florida
until a Canadian purchased it in 2011.
The Canadian collector put new tires on the car in 2014, and gave
the car a major service in January of 2016 that included new timing
belts. The Barchetta just recently returned to US soil with only
1,875 miles on the odometer.
Since arriving at Canepa it has received a concours quality detail,
and is ready for the next collector to acquire this very special
Ferrari.
