The Mystery of the 550 Spider not Barchetta.
i remember there was a photo of some guy driving a 550 Spider and not a Barchetta because it didnt have the wheels. but we now know what it was. it truly was a 550 Spider!!! it was a thread of garages or something.

Uh, the black one was supposed to belong to Jeffri, the brother of the Sultan of Brunei, I don't know why they're talking about it being owned by someone else

thats not a spider, note the head protection, roll bars, the spder in the auction does not have any, like the 911 convertable.

I don't think this Spider (red) is what it seems.
Description
1998 Ferrari 550 Spider All swear it is a Barchetta! Rosso Red w/ Tan ...Only 2 were built!
|
hmmm, swear it's Barchetta eh? Well, he's wrong, that's not a Barchetta.
I found out somewhere that the black example has a retractable hardtop.
so...maybe the red one's a non-Ferrari conversion. you don't see the word Ferrari mentioned anywhere, do you?

difference is this is not the mass produced Barchetta but rather the original 550 being changed into a roadster

With a retractable hardtop ? Holy shit , that is a truly spectacular car , more desirable than the superamerica !

Yup the barcheta was a conmemorative edition of the 550 for pininfarina anniversary i think , it was build in limited edition , and for a price of 400 and something thouthand dollars , it was not a hit , cuz now you can find in ebay for 230 - 250
