Highlights
The Ferrari Testarossa was developed beginning in the late 1970’s as a successor to the BB model. While Ferrari originally intended to give the 512BBi a subtle facelift, it soon became apparent that the model would no longer meet emission requirements in the U.S. and a completely new model needed to be developed. Ferrari turned to the research team at Pininfarina to design the new car. Heading the project was Leonardo Fioravanti, who previously designed the P5, P6 and the 365 GTB/4 “Daytona.” The name “Testarossa” (translated as “red head”) was named after a series of 1950’s racing cars that had red painted camshaft covers, a feature that Ferrari’s new Testarossa would inherit. The finished car was unveiled to the public during the 1984 Paris Motor Show at the famed Lido nightclub. With a 390 horsepower 5.0 liter flat-12 engine, the Testarossa was good for a 0-60 mph time of 5 seconds and pushed speeds of 180 mph. Its legendary performance and iconic Pininfarina lines spoke to a generation of enthusiasts, in part to making numerous appearances across all forms of media, including a starring role in the popular television show “Miami Vice” starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas.
The 1987 Ferrari Testarossa featured here is finished it is stunning original color combination of Nero black over a matching black Connolly leather interior. This particular example was sold new in the dry state of Texas and was later relocated to California. Today presenting in spectacular, highly original condition the Testarossa displays only 12,081 actual miles on the odometer. A complete $17,000 engine out service was performed in April 2018 by the Factory trained Ferrari specialists at Merlin Auto Group in Atlanta less than 600 miles ago; ensuring that this Testarossa is in top running and driving condition. This recent service was performed for the previous owner; a respected collector of fine Italian sports and racing cars. With such originality, low mileage and previous long term and collector level ownership this Testarossa is sure to bring many years of enjoyment to its future caretaker. We are proud to offer this stunning black on black 1987 Testarossa to the most astute investor, collector or enthusiast who appreciates the appeal of this iconic Ferrari model.

Finance rates as low as 8.9%.
We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.
We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.
Terms available up to 144 Months
