1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello
Overview
This 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello combines the model’s classic front-engine V12 layout with a gated six-speed manual transaxle and desirable enthusiast equipment. Finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero Connolly leather, it is noted as one of just 155 examples specified with Carbon Package interior trim. Factory options further include Daytona-style seats, a leather-upholstered rear shelf, and red brake calipers, assembling a paramount 24k-mile collector configuration.
Up front, a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter 48-valve V12 with four overhead camshafts features Bosch Motronic 5.2 engine management and dry-sump lubrication, backed by a 6-speed manual transaxle and limited-slip differential. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, while automatic climate control, power windows and door locks, heated exterior mirrors, tinted glass, and alloy wheels round out capable faire inside and out. Updated Sony AM/FM/CD/AUX audio with Bluetooth brings modern connectivity and the car’s original stereo accompanies the sale.
Owned in warm climates from new, this 550 is accompanied by a clean Carfax report and extensive records from 2003-present with more than $100k in receipts. Notable recent maintenance includes a preemptive 30k-mile engine-out major service in October 2022, followed by a two-year service in July 2024 at 23,802 miles. The quilted leather rear shelf was reupholstered under previous ownership. Included factory literature, a copy of the original window sticker, tools/tire inflator, fire extinguisher, and 2 key sets + spare fob speak to this Ferrari’s completeness and diligent preservation.
