The Ferrari dealer in Monterey, California made a deal to have the second Ferrari ever exported to the U.S. shipped to him in Monterey so that it could be auctioned the day before the Pebble Beach Concours D’ Elegance. The bidding ended with Jerry J. Moore of Houston, then the No.1 car collector in the world with 832 cars, including 44 . Mr. Moore traded six new Ferrari Testarossas and paid $500,000 for this car on August 18, 1990.

Following two years of development, testing and design, a prototype of the new Ferrari was presented to the public in 1987 and was named the F40 in honor of Ferrari’s (F) 40th (40) anniversary.
