Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Erratic repaint, worn surface cracked original interior. Clean original underbody and engine compartment. Now showing 38,972 miles it had an engine out belt service at 33,000 miles. Gearbox rebuilt and new clutch at 34,000 miles. A generally satisfying Testarossa that has been regularly but sparingly California driven since 1998.
Market commentary
Once a favorite of Ferraristi the Testarossa has fallen out of favor, frequently selling for less than more recent V8 Ferraris (with more horsepower and better driving dynamics). Overlooking that, the Testarossa is still a Ferrari milestone, its five aerodynamic side strakes leading air into the rear wheel wells and engine defining a generation of Ferrari/Pininfarina design. 385hp isn't, by modern standards, a lot, nor is a 5.3 second 0-60mph time, but it's pretty good, and good enough for the price paid here.
