This magnificent rolling work of art and engineering tour de force currently located in Casa Grande, Arizona, is Calspyder's  breath-taking recreation of a '1959-'63 Ferr@ri GT 250 C@lifornia Spyder.  It was built by Dr. Mike Renucci, PhD.(eng.), who was the former head of Jaguar when it was a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. Completed in late 2010, the car has only 2500 miles and it was previously prominently featured in Kit Car Magazine as the "SUPER SPYDER". It is the most powerful, fast, luxurious, and sophisticated GT that Calspyder has built to date. Any original Ferrari GT 250 Spyder that was built back in the early 1960's is now rightly a museum piece worth millions. Less than 50 are known to still exist. The original version's power plant  was a 3.0 L, 240-260 hp, SOHC V-12 engine with down-draft Webers. Despite the beautiful lines penned by Pinninfarina at the time, the original version was not really considered to be a technologically sophisticated vehicle, even when first introduced. The original GT 250 had many significant mechanical limitations if one were to compare it to a contemporary competitor from the same era, such as Jaguar's superlative XKE. The original GT 250 was hampered by a solid live rear axle, a 4-speed NON-synchromesh transmission, 4 wheel drum brakes, and it even had an imprecise worm and sector steering gear. This Super Spyder now for sale is mechanically superior to the original version in every conceivable way, but at only a fraction of the cost. This car is docile when driven judiciously, but it is VERY FAST. During engineering tests conducted in Arizona, it was confirmed that THE SUPER SPYDER WAS FASTER THAN A ZR1 IN THE QUARTER MILE AND TOP END!

The Super Spyder has the following special features:  

- VIN 124BS10043340

 

-560bhp, 427cid, fuel injected, Windsor block, Smeding engine with roller rockers and cam.

-Oversize aluminum racing radiator.

-4 wheel disc brakes.

-Rack and Pinion steering gear.

-Richmond Gear Racing Super 5 speed (with Overdrive).

-2.47 rear gear for ULTRA-HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY CRUISING and 20 mpg on highway.

-Independent rear suspension  by C.W.I. with inboard rear discs.

-Bullet proof integrated 9 inch limited slip pumpkin.

-Air conditioned with R-2 coolant and modern Sanden compressor.

-Beautiful wood dash accents.

-True pin drive knock-off wire wheels, including spare which is mounted in the trunk.

-Period correct gauges, including H20 temp, oil pressure, oil temp, voltmeter, fuel, etc.

-Striking medium metallic blue paint. This beautiful color was a period correct option.

-Period correct leather seats and dash.

-Modern retractable seat belts.

-Windshield wipers with washer

-Wilton wool carpets.

-Detailed trunk and engine compartment.

-AM/FM/ CD stereo. (You can understand "the why" when I tell you I've NEVER turned it on!)

-Electric lift windows.

-Passenger side glove box

-Perfectly working canvas top.

-Integrated Battery Tender with trunk plug in (all you need is an extension cord)

-Complete, correct, period Ferr@ri and Pinnin badges.


Spring time is approaching and now's the time to get the convertible and enjoy the season.  The only reason I'm selling is because we have a Tesla Model S being delivered and we have too many toys for the space available.  We've loved this car and want it to go to a great home.   Please feel free to email me or call if you have questions or would like to come preview the car.  77O-5 nine 5-four 387.  The Odo has stuck at 899 miles however we've put about 2500 total miles on it.  Oil was done last month and Transmission Fluid done 3 tanks of gas ago.  Serious inquiries only. Seller reserves right to end item early as it is also for sale locally.  


Deposit of $1000 is due upon winning auction with balance due before taking delivery of the vehicle.  I'm happy to help with coordinating shipping however shipping is the buyers responsibility.  I have a couple of recommendations if needed.

Sergio Marchionne wants Alfa Romeo back in F1

Mon, Feb 15 2016

It's been decades since Alfa Romeo has competed in Formula One. But if Sergio Marchionne gets his way, it could make a comeback soon. Now we know what you might be thinking: Alfa Romeo and Ferrari are both part of the same Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, so why would Marchionne want two brands competing against each other in such a costly racing series? Because technically speaking, Ferrari is no longer part of FCA, that's why. They share mostly the same owners and are run by the same person (Marchionne), but the Prancing Horse marque recently split off from its former parent company and floated its own shares on the stock market. That makes it a separate entity, and also means that FCA no longer has a direct link to F1. But its chief executive clearly thinks the investment is worthwhile. Marchionne has been known to state grandiose plans, but he's also been known to carry through on many of them. So the next question is, if the plan goes through, just how Alfa Romeo might participate in F1? Some automakers (like Mercedes) field their own teams, others (like Honda) compete as engine suppliers, and still others (like Infiniti) as branding partners. Alfa could go either route, but Marchionne told Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport that "Alfa Romeo is able to make itself a chassis, and it is able to make engines." Of course, that doesn't mean that it necessarily will. It could outsource a chassis from a constructor like Dallara, which is located near the same Varano circuit that Alfa uses regularly. It could also source an engine from its former sister company: Marchionne floated the possibility of starting a separate engine program in Maranello for Red Bull when it was hunting for a new engine partner, and could ostensibly do the same for Alfa Romeo. "In order to re-establish itself as a sport brand, Alfa Romeo can and must consider the possibility of return to race in Formula 1," said Marchionne. "How? Probably in a collaboration with Ferrari." Alfa Romeo first competed in F1 in the early 1950s, winning the world championship two years running in 1950 with Giuseppe Farina (scion of Pininfarina) and 1951 with Juan Manuel Fangio. It then dropped out, only to resurface as a full constructor team between 1979 and 1985, with limited results. It also supplied engines to an array of teams in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s.

What's it like to wakeboard behind a Ferrari F50? Glad you asked

Wed, Nov 26 2014

Peons. Peasants. Plebians. Ohioans. You think the videos that show you water skiing or wakeboarding behind pickup trucks are cool? They aren't. Wakeboarding behind a Ferrari F50, though, is most assuredly awesome. Those over-wealthy Einsteins at YouTube channel Tax The Rich have released their latest stunt, which shows a charming yellow F50 towing a wakeboarder down what looks like an irrigation canal. It really is as cool as it sounds.

Petrolicious gets super Seventies in a Ferrari Dino 208 GT4

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was the automaker's first sports car with a V8 mounted amidships, and that formula quickly became the Italian automaker's bread and butter. The 308 in the name denotes a 3.0-liter V8, but for the Italian market, where a tax was imposed on cars with engines larger than two liters, Ferrari decided to de-bore the V8 to avoid the tax. Thus the 2.0-liter Dino 208 GT4 was born, and New York resident Bradley Price likes his 1976 model just the way it is.
Price initially was attracted to the Bertone-styled wedge because it "fit into the whole aesthetic of the space age and of the boundless possibility of [the late 1960s and 1970s]," he says in the Petrolicious video, adding that the opening scene of the original The Italian Job struck a chord with him, and the feeling never left. With 170 horsepower on tap, the 208 isn't very quick, but, in his opinion, it has a sweeter song than the bigger V8 and the driver-centric interior is one of his favorites.
Watch Price snake the original wedge through some East Coast back roads in the video below, and, just for kicks, we've also included the opening sequence of The Italian Job.
