Black TR w/ 500 miles for sale in Louisville. It is in showroom condition. The interior looks brand new.
Bentley and some AMGs around $50,000 (not bad for 490hp) for sale at the Gordon Motorsports.
If anyone is looking for a clean Ferrari let me know and I will investigate.

Do they have an asking price on the Testarossa? Or is it one of those cars where "if you have to ask - then you can't afford it".

I totally agree with DC33. Unless the car has been exercised on a regular basis and maintained properly, only covering 500 miles in almost 20 years of existance may be asking for trouble. It was also very common on Ferraris of that era to have the odometer disconnected.

If you do go look at the car again, take a few pics and post them up for us....?

NO chips, exhaust is spotless, interior looks like it is brand new, no fading or chipping on the mesh parts by the engine (very rare). Paint is silky smooth. It is the nicest TR I have seen.
If anyone is serious I will do several photos of key elements and post.
And yes, if you have to ask...

Black is a great color for TR's.

As far as sitting, the fluids and seals don't know they are in a Ferrari. I hear that all the time. If you were looking at an old Charger or something with no miles everyone would be jumping on it. The difference of course is cost of parts and the high labor rates, but for someone like Adam in Ky who would just rip the engine out anyway as a DIY project to make sure all is in top notch condition you might as well start with the lower mile example.

I completely agree. It would be a lot cheaper to replace those internals than try to restore the exterior and the cockpit. It looks absolutely amazing. My gf spotted it driving down the road and quickly told me about it. We raced over to see it. She said said if we bought it it would sit in our own showroom as a work of art. For a woman to say that - the car has got to be in a league of it's own.
