1992 Ferrari 512TR

If you wanted a poster car in the 1980s, you bought a Lamroghini Countach. If you wanted one of the fastest, best driving cars in the world though, you bought the Ferrari Testarossa. A revival of the classic "red head" name, the original Testarossas were front engine racers with little to do with the flat-12, mid-engined GT road car that Ferrari produced in the 1980s. Still, the name was evocative enough to spur on sales, as was the classic shape. An evolution of the 512BBi, the Testarossa would take Ferrari all the way into the 1990s; and while by then it was a dated design eclipsed by more poster super cars, the appeal and classic design of the Testarossa still shines today. While the Countach can look almost vulgar in its excess, the Testarossa is a velvet hammer. This example is from mid-run and the first year of the "512TR":

I don’t have stock exhaust.all scheduled services and maintenance has been routinely done and it shows in the way this car drives and performs, as well as the aesthetic of the engine bay undercarriage and all suspension and brake parts.

These 512TRs are arguably the best looking of the breed; I'm not a fan of the 512 M that followed, though it was faster. This one looks lovely and is rare in double black, and the Speedline Mistral three piece wheels are just awesome and a perfect fit. With plenty of recent maintenance, this is certainly a strong example to look at and should likely command in the $100,000 region. While that may seem like a lot, my guess is clean examples of these won't be getting much cheaper anytime soon!

1967 Maserati Mistral

Successor to the 3500GT, the Mistral is a bit of a forgotten exotic, falling in between the beautiful Touring and Vignale bodied grand tourers that made Maserati a household name and the mid-engined sports cars of the 1970s. The name Mistral derives from French, describing a cold, northerly wind. There's nothing cold about this grand tourer though, with a throaty straight six good for a top speed closing in on 150 mph. Looking a bit like the Buick engined Apollo GT, this Frua bodied car was available in both steel and aluminum bodied form. This Mistral for sale in Florida is an aluminum bodied car.

The Mistral is one of those classic Italian exotics that can be had for well under $100,000. Given that this is the higher horsepower 4.0 liter car and with the aluminum shell, I'd say $70,000 is just about right, as this not a completely restored car, but has had a bit of work done to it to keep it presentable.
