    1986 Testarossa, Red w/Tan, 2 owners (mine for the last 13yrs), 100% car except for Fuchs exhaust (have the original), Momo suede steering wheel (have original). Major service just performed by Pocono Sports Car (the ONLY place a TR should be serviced due to Jim working on every TR while at FNA), anything needing replacement (water pump seals, drive shaft seals, shifter seal, hood & bonnet struts) were replaced. Single Bolt knock off wheels with new BFG tires in US size, Single high flying mirrors, manual seat belts. Upgraded drilled front rotors with red calipers. Full and original tool kit as well as several specialist tools for wheels and oil changes. Full factory original service books, and all books in pouch with original window sticker.

    For a 27 year old car, the interior, seats, and paint work are all in very nice shape with no tears, warping, holes, cracks in paint, etc. It has won many 1st places at Ferrari & Exotic shows over the years, however the car was driven and not trailered so some minor blemishes will be expected. Never in an accident, nice CD stereo with Bluetooth and NO bass boxes on back shelf, shakers are under the seats. Car has 30,000 well looked after miles and is one of the nicest and strongest running 86’ TR’s out there. Custom red interior car cover is also included.

    The car needs nothing and so I am looking for $60,000 however I will entertain strong offers. I am not in a rush as car is comfortably sitting on its storage lift in Northern NJ. Feel free to PM or call me on my cell 201-four zero four-0405.

    Between the KN Air Filter and the Exhaust that has minimal sound suppression it has better throttle response, I would be lying if I knew about power without a dyno...the Fuchs does make the Tubi and others sound more like a ricer...

    I have known Adam and his TR for over 10 years now and I can vouch for the car being lovingly cared for with no expense spared. Plus, Adam is a great guy! I'll be sorry to see the car go, but somebody will definitely enjoy it.

    Exactly what I am looking for, but about four months too soon. Nice example.

    I did have one question though. Is the steering wheel aftermarket?

    A few people have asked for some more pictures of the interior...the seats have not been redyed, the steering wheel was replaced with a suede Momo that is smaller in diameter and a thicker rim, but still have the original...The TR's never came with a radio and have the one that I got with the car, and the one I added with Bluetooth (that's dust in the photo), the main instrument pod is made of fiberglass and in many cars warps badly where it mounts to the dash and the front between the steering wheel is usually chewed up from some peoples large pinky rings...this one is new and a perfect match...The door cards are also perfect and many are chewed up from using the parking brake with a watch on...this one is not...the hood & bonnet latch cables are new (they do break) and I never use them as I only use the emergency cables which are much stronger...the rear view mirror was replaced with a brand new unit as the originals flip control broke...the mats while very nice were ordered in the wrong tan color and that is why they look so bright and the carpet looks dirty...btw the carpets do not have any tears or wear by the driver foot well...

    Someone came today to look at the car and I reached over in 20+ deg weather and turned the key and a few rotations and she fired right up and idled as always...never any hunting...Proactive maint was done on this car...when one coil failed, both were replaced, prior engine out starter and alternator were rebuilt and a new solenoid installed, new AC compressor when system was converted over to new Freon, coolant overflow tank was powder coated exact color...etc...if the engine is out repair, upgrade or replace if needed then dealing with it later...

    Adam was nice enough to show me the car yesterday. The car is exactly as Adam has described. Adam's a great guy, very passionate, and the car was very well taken care of. The fact that's it been fully serviced is a huge bonus. And that exhaust sounded incredible! He even has the original window sticker. I've decided to go with a newer car (88.5 or later) but if I wasn't, the car would be sold and in my garage.

    GLWS Adam.

    Duh on my part. I missed the "(have original)". I am surprised it hasn't sold yet. No chance it will be around in four months when I get my bonus. Bummer.

    Bump from the party that backed out.
    If you are looking for a High Mirror TR, this is a heck of a car, and the price is very fair. I never actually saw the car, but did spend quite a bit of time with both Adam and Jim at Pocono Sports cars discussing all aspects of the car. I also spoke with another member here who was familiar with the car. It checks all the boxes. I only backed out for personal reasons and hopefully have found a different car that will suit me better.
