Joopiter, a sales platform supported by Pharrell Williams, will hold an online auction for the car from September 15 to September 30, 2026. [^2]

The car has a pre-sale estimate of $700,000 to $1,300,000, which is significantly higher than the typical cost of a standard 550 Maranello. [^3]

The car was ordered new by Michael Jordan in a custom exterior and interior combination reflecting his preferences during his fifth NBA championship season. [^4]

Michael Jordan purchased the red Rosso Barchetta-painted Ferrari in 1997, the same year the Chicago Bulls won their fifth NBA championship. [^5]

The expected selling price for the vehicle is between $700,000 and $1.3 million, a figure significantly higher than the standard market value for the model. [^6]

Miami car collector John Temerian spent 10 years tracking the vehicle down by finding a partial VIN number on a car forum. [^7]
