At the O’Gara Las Vegas service center, a rare Ferrari 550 Maranello arrived on a crisp morning, its paint glistening under the Nevada sun. The grand tourer, a masterpiece of late-1990s Ferrari engineering, was there for a pre-purchase inspection—a vital step for discerning collectors.
Rich Kansky, our service director with over 20 years of experience, personally oversaw the car’s arrival. He knew this particular 550 Maranello had a story to tell; its odometer hinted at a life of both spirited drives and careful stewardship. With surgical precision, he assessed every detail, from the V12 engine’s compression to the condition of the leather Daytona seats. The car’s factory-original specifications and service records passed the scrutiny, a testament to its meticulous care over the years.
After a thorough review, Rich called the prospective buyer to deliver the good news: the 550 Maranello was as pristine as its reputation. The buyer, a long-time Ferrari enthusiast, sealed the deal that afternoon. As the car roared back to life, ready for its next chapter, the team at O’Gara celebrated another successful milestone in connecting enthusiasts with automotive perfection.
