Description
Up for sale is my beautiful 1989 Modena Spyder This is an exact recreation of the famous 1961 Ferrari 250GTFrom 1958-1963. Ferrari only produced 100 of these in total. That's why originals go for between $10-15 Million dollars. Then. in 1987-1989 a company called Modena Designs built 50 of them from scratch. And of these 50. 33 of them are still known to exist. So they are a collectible in their own right. This is one of the last ones built. nbsp;as it was built in late 1989. And because Modena was making them so well Ferrari sued them. That's why they only made 50 in total. This car was hand built from the ground up. no donor car car like a corvette underneath. It has its own original tubular steel frame and was built like a tank. It has a very thick and solid fiberglass body. I had the engine rebuilt about 2 years ago and I've put on approx. 800-900 miles on it since. It runs and drive great. starts up every single time! It even has air conditioning!Now. I am not a certified mechanic. but I do know my car. So. I will put down what I feel could be updated or replaced. When the engine was put back in. a small pair of scratches are on the hood. I retouched with extra paint but they can be seen if you look about 3 inches on both. picture shown. The paint job is approx. 5 years old and still looks amazing. Also on the hood is a small crack in fiberglass. really hard to see. but its there. Shown in picture. One rim when I got it. was obviously dented and should eventually be replaced. And Finally. ven though the car was driven by me the last 4 years and I had engine completely rebuilt. he odometer/speedometer just stopped working recently at 16. 99. So it needs a new odometer/speedometer. And that's it. This is an amazing and beautiful car. People that own bentleys. ferraris and lambos still open their mouth at this car. The lines on it and just the overall look is incredible. California VIN # CA496783New BF Goodrich T/A's all around. Custom Ferrari Mats and Authentic Nardi Wood Grain Steering Wheel. This car sounds amazing with the V8 and quad exhaust. it crackles on every downshift. It gives me goosebumps every single time. I will buy this car again. when the time is right. I am only selling to pay bills. Sorry no trades. In my opinion. there is nothing better than this anywhere for the money. Plus. I am only selling. because I need the money. Please call me with any questions. Serious bidders only. Thanks. nbsp;David 602-448-3480. Located in Scottsdale. Arizona. PS. Dont wait! Make your best offer and if I agree. its in your garage. These don't come up that often and there is a strong following. Someone just emailed me and wrote:You should know that the Cal Spyders (copy of the Modena cars) are selling for $125. 00. your way cheap my friend. You will sell it fast- that is a give away price.
