Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Alloy wheels, open gate 6 speed, Pirelli P Zero tires, tan top boot cover, power windows, air conditioning, factory cassette stereo, dash clock.

Condition

Several large chips on the nose and light scratches and swirl marks all over a paint job that looks much older than it is Light scrapes on the bottom of the plastic front splitter Scratched headlight covers Good, clean wheels Worn interior and scuffed up top boot The car shows 8,279 miles, but another 8 in front of that would be more believable The work by Straman is quality and the car looks like it was always meant to be a Spider, but the car looks to have been owned by someone who was more taken with the idea of looking cool in an open Ferrari than with actually taking care of it The cosmetic condition also calls into question the maintenance history

Market commentary

With its roof still attached this wouldnt be more than $60,000 in its current neglected condition, the question is why would it bring more after being decapitated This is, however, South Florida, where clear skies and sunny days are more common than not and an open top 550 Maranello is appreciated. Pretty much every afternoon a brief downpour drifts across from the Gulf, making its functional soft top and roll up windows vastly more practical than a 550 Barchetta, and for less money. All in all it is a practical and distinctive Ferrari in this market for a realistic price.
