1988 Ferrari Mondial Cabriolet�3.2 23,177 actual miles, sold exempt
due to age Recent service One of 810 cabriolets made between 1985
and 1988 and one of 449 imported to the United States 3.2L�Tipo
F105C�four-valve V-8 engine with dual exhausts Five-speed manual
transmission Less than 100 produced in Argento Nurburgring
(Nurburgring Silver) exterior, black power-folding roof and red
interior with leather seats Air-conditioning Power steering, power
brakes with anti-lock, power windows Clean Carfax supports current
mileage � Another popular Italian stallion has pranced into
MotoeXotica Classic Cars, this time in the form of a 1988 Ferrari
Mondial Cabriolet offered in a rare but very handsome silver
exterior with red interior color combo. It is claimed that the
Mondial cabriolets are the only production vehicles manufactured to
a�four-seater,�rear mid-engined, full-convertible�design. This
outstanding Ferrari is understood to have had 3 previous owner and
was always garaged and well maintained and the current condition
really proves that. The low mileage of 23,171 miles is understood
to be actual and is backed up by a recent Carfax and service
receipts. The car was recently serviced on 7/15 at Speedsportz in
Tulsa Oklahoma which included a tune up and oil change. Carfax
shows additional maintenance done by Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale in
2003, 2005, 2006 and by Ferrari of Atlanta in 2006, 2007 and 2010.
Previous owner stated that belt service had been performed in the
recent past, however no receipts in hand. Carfax further shows some
inconsistent mileage entries in 1996 and 2003 from a emissions
station and a service. All other entries are in line and consistent
and likely represent clerical errors. Assembled in December 1987
and finished in Argento Nurburgring (Nurburgring Silver) with a
folding black top, this car's paint is in overall excellent order.
The glass panels are in near excellent condition, including the
rear window. The car's pop-up headlights work and the rest of the
car's lights, including the lollipop-shaped taillights, are in
great shape. This stallion rolls on factory five-star chrome wheels
wrapped within Bridgestone Potenza RE-01 radials, 205/55R16 in
front and 225/50R16 in rear. All of the body panels are solid and
straight, including the folding top, and the body-colored bumpers
are in fine shape. The engine bay is tidy and a full-size spare
tire can be found in the front-mounted "trunk." There is a second
cargo area aft of the mid-ships mounted engine. That engine is a
3.2L�Tipo F105C�four-valve V-8 breathing through dual exhausts and
is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Inside, the red
leather seats are in very good condition, as is the matching
carpeting and two-tone black and red instrument panel. The
traditional, three-spoke steering with the prancing horse on the
hub, faces the driver. The inner door panels, mirror glass, center
console and shifter are all in good shape and completing the
interior is a Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo with CD player. �The�Ferrari
Mondial�was a�V8,�mid-engined,�grand tourer�coup�and�cabriolet
produced between 1980 and 1993. It replaced the�Ferrari 308/208
GT4�coup�, and remained the last V8-engined�2+2�model Ferrari
produced until 2008. The�Mondial�name (French for�world�or�global)
originated from Ferrari's motor racing history � the�500
Mondial�was a successful lightweight sports racer of the early
1950s which was named to celebrate Ferrari's consecutive�Formula 1
World Championships�in 1952 and 1953. Conceived as a 'practical'
Ferrari, the Mondial is a genuine long-distance four-seater, with
sufficient rear head- and leg-room for children and smaller adults.
It affords easy access via the long single doors, and has
surprisingly good all-round visibility for a mid-engined car. The
vehicle has a slightly higher roofline and greater all-round
dimensions compared to its two-seater stable mates, resulting in a
comparative weight penalty of around 10 percent. Available in both
Coup� and Cabriolet forms, styling refreshed with restyled and
body-colored bumpers, similar to the�328�with more integrated
indicators and driving lamps, and new alloy wheels with a more
rounded face. The 3.2 also boasted a major interior update, with a
more ergonomic layout and a more rounded instrument binnacle. Later
cars, from 1987 onwards, also sported�ABS brakes. Fuel injection
remained the primarily mechanical Bosch K-Jetronic (CIS) with an
O2�sensor in the exhaust providing feedback to a simple computer
for mixture trimming via a pulse modulated frequency valve that
regulated control fuel pressure. The ignition system was Marelli
Microplex, with electronic advance control and one distributor per
bank of the�V8. The 1988 Mondial 3.2 would be the final model year
that retained the relatively low maintenance costs of the 308/328
drivetrain, allowing major service items like timing belt and
clutch replacement performed with the engine/transmission package
still in the car. Competition to this Ferrari in 1988 included
Aston Martin's Vantage Volante, Chevrolet's Corvette Convertible,
Mazda's RX-7 Convertible and Porsche's 911 Convertible. This car is
currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current
mileage on the odometer shows 23,177 miles. It is sold as is, where
is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND
