Vehicle Description
The F430 was the last 8-cylinder Ferrari model to be more sports
car and less computer. It still has a conventional turn signal
lever (!) instead of fussy buttons. It was the first new-generation
Ferrari to have timing chains instead of belts so maintenance is
less rigorous, plus it features styling cues from the Enzo (and
doesn't look like a C8 Corvette).
The F430 has an all-aluminum unibody & chassis, a 483-horsepower
engine and third-generation F1 transaxle with E-Diff that has
proven to be reliable and very sophisticated working in tandem with
the electric power steering. With a click of the selector, the
driver can chose between 'normal' programming to all-out, 'you're
on your own!' totally uncensored performance & handling...if you're
brave enough.
This immaculate car was sold new at Shelton Ferrari and stayed in
Florida until coming to Colorado twelve years ago, complete with
all its books, tools, both keys, service records, car cover &
battery maintainer. It was very well-optioned with features
including ball-polished 19" wheels, red calipers, Scuderia shields,
'Hi-Fi' sound system, power Daytona seats plus leather headliner,
rear bulkhead and door sills. It has a spotless CarFax report
confirming the 9161 miles on the car today and it has been
maintained by Ferrari dealerships all along.
The most compelling attraction to this car is the fact that it is
priced so close to what forty-year-old 308s with literally half the
horsepower are selling for!! A great 4-valve 308 or 328 are
six-figure cars these days and are anachronisms compared to a
430.
Low miles, complete equipment, fabulous performance, clean history
and great colors make this car irresistible at $139,500.
If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on
our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect
first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We
practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that
nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself.
Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car,
and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic
happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a
knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales
are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our
cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We
follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future
clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
