I purchased this Blue Pozi/Bordeaux 550 in July of 2023 with plans to keep it long term as you can see by the extensive work I have done.  However, a business opportunity has come up so I am considering selling it.

My goal with this car was to replace all the wear parts, make updates to areas where improvements could be had, and to make it a reliable daily driver that I’d feel comfortable driving cross country.   Where parts were changed from factory spec I have kept the factory parts for the next owner.

The car comes with:
- Service records since new
- Clean Carfax
- All books, manuals, tools, etc.
- Car cover
- 2 keys, 3 fobs, plus a 430 key that works as a key/fob combination

Below is a summary of the major work done to the car starting with the previous owner and continuing through my ownership.

**Previous Owner - 2020 - 2023**
- Leather dash recovered
- Bumper and hood resprayed
- Both catalyst ECU’s replaced
- A/C overhauled - Compressor, receiver/dryer, o-rings, etc. Blows VERY cold.
- Alternator replaced

*Cooling System*
- 575/612 fan shroud installed. This provides 100% coverage of the radiator and improves cooling when the car is not moving.

- Brake cooling duct hoses replaced with aerospace grade hoses.
- Power steering fluid changed.
- Air filters were replaced twice.

Launched to the press at the Nürburgring in 1996, the 550 Maranello was Ferrari's answer to those who believed the performance of a front-engined V12 car could not beat that of a mid-engined sports car. The successor to the F512M, the 550 Maranello proved quicker and, thanks to its better front-engined, rear drive packaging layout, far more practical.
