“The car is owned by a meticulous Ferrari collector who services all his Ferraris at Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo in Wilsonville, Oregon,” the listing begins. “This 35k-mile car just completed its full belt service. Comes with records and ownership history. This car is in exceptional condition.”
The two-seat, mid-engined Ferrari 360 model first went into production for the year 2000 with final assembly taking place in Maranello, Italy. The car was a replacement for the outgoing F355, and it boasted a lighter, yet stiffer, chassis. The “Modena” was the first model of the 360, and its name was drawn from the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari. There was no mistaking the style and sexiness of the body design – its all-aluminum panels were contoured for optimal air flow.
Most importantly, the car was engineered for speed. Power came from a mid-mounted 3.6-liter V8 mated to a six-speed “F1-style” automated manual transmission with paddle shifters. This setup was good for 400 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to a balanced chassis and slick aerodynamics, the car could reportedly reach a top speed of over 180 miles per hour. Fittingly, the engine was showcased with a glass window, so everyone could admire the heart of the machine – at least while it was sitting still. The listing says that this car’s maintenance is up to date, and the fluids were refreshed this year.
There is something truly captivating about the Italian supercars of two decades ago. This was an era when the driving experience could still feel “raw” and analog, but the technology, safety, and design were as advanced as any other vehicle on the road at that time.
“This is a wonderful example of a Ferrari 360 Modena,” the listing concludes. “Perfect car for cruising or taking to car shows. A no-excuses car that is both mechanically and cosmetically excellent and a joy to drive.”
The asking price is $85,000. Here’s one way to look at it: that’s a 45% discount off what it cost new!
