Pulls strong to redline with near perfect syncros that go into both 1st and 2nd gear cold without problem! 246 GTS s/n 07892 is fitted with very attractive headlight covers and is equipped with A/C, P/W and has the original top cover used to cover the targa top when stowed behind the seats. Has an owner’s manual and a replica pouch and the jack with its carrying case. Has very good Michelin XWX tires on the wider Campagnolo wheels with a new Michelin XWX spare which still has its sticker. Excellent body and paint. Nice leather. Very nice mouse-fur on the dash. Everything works as it should. A very pretty and mechanically superb Ferrari that is priced right at $164,950.
