Nearly any auto enthusiast can recognize the always-distinctive Ferrari Testarossa from just about any angle! Built from 1984-1991, the Italian term Testarossa stood for “redhead” in English translation making this Pininfarina-design yet another reflection of their admiration of a woman’s beauty! And thus, the magnificent V12 engine’s cam covers are painted red in recognition!
This gorgeous 1987 Ferrari Testarossa example is finished in desirable Rossa Corsa with Pelle Beige Leather interior! Only three meticulous owners have cared for this automobile for the past 29 years accumulating just 22,142 original miles! Features include 4.9L Flat 12-cylinder engine producing 380 horsepower with gate-shifted 5-speed transmission, climate-controlled air conditioning, power windows & mirrors, power steering, fender shields, original 16” OZ knock-off light alloy wheels with Bridgestone Potenza tires, Alpine AM/FM/Cassette sound system, automatic seatbelts, carpeted floor mats, and much more!
This special example recently had a full engine-out service performed by Ferrari of Tampa Bay that included the timing belt, tensioner bearings, rebuilt water pump, camshaft seals & cover gaskets, valve lash adjustment, all drive belts, thermostats, upper & lower coolant hoses, fuel filters, new fuel & oil lines, exhaust gaskets, and all new fluids including Mobil 1 synthetic oil, brake fluid flush, transmission & differential, & engine coolant. This complete major service was completed in August 30th, 2013 at 21,966 miles and has traveled just 176 miles since. Upon completion, Ferrari of Tampa Bay also conducted the Ferrari Classiche Certification inspection resulting in an impressive hardbound binder specific to this Testarossa supporting its originality, numbers matching characteristics, and overall present condition. These certifications take 4 months to develop from Ferrari at a cost of nearly $5,000. This car is complete with all original owner’s manuals, two original keys, complete Ferrari-branded tool kit, fuses, spare belts, and large tool bag with tire changing equipment. Also provided are all service records and a custom fitted CoverCraft car cover with Ferrari logo embossed on the front.
The exotic import marketplace continues to find itself on a tremendous increase for sports car collectors. It seems Ferrari’s may be on the forefront of these trends. Make no mistake that any V12 powered example has already proven to be the vehicle to own as time passes by. Our June 1987 built example offered here has had just three documented owners from new, and continues to show impressively in all respects. Please feel free to call with any additional questions or schedule an appointment to see this beautiful Testarossa in person! Thanks for looking!
