Equipment
Alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, suede dash and transmission tunnel, factory CD stereo, power windows, air conditioning.
Condition
Tiny scrapes on the bottom of the front lip. Excellent paint and interior with no signs of use. A desirable and already collectible open top 550 that hasn't even been broken in with 152 miles on it. One of 448 examples built.
Market commentary
The 550 Barchetta is rare and intriguing -- if barely practical with its handkerchief emergency soft top -- but the price of this one is around three times more than a fixed roof 550 Maranello. The bidders, who pursued it above Gooding & Company's pre-sale high estimate, must have seen the value, or placed high value on the bragging rights.
