'1959-'63 Ferrari Gt 250 California Spyder Kit Car on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
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 antennae. -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.

Ferrari California replica from Ferris Bueller is so choice
Sat, 29 Jun 2013We like car auctions well enough, but often the high-end affairs are a bit too much like outdoor museums - very beautiful and very cold, and you're not allowed to touch anything. A perfect case in point is the upcoming Mecum auction during the 2013 Pebble Beach weekend, which will feature the legendary replica Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder used in none other than Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Only three were made. The current owner spent ten years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion. (Well, it was before he decided to auction it, anyway.)
Actually built by Modena Design and Development in El Cajon, CA, the official name of the stunning replica is Modena Spyder California. Built up on a tube frame, with a meticulously maintained interior and powered by a 500-horsepower small block V8 the car is so choice. If you have the means, we highly recommend picking one up.
Mecum hasn't suggested a predicted auction price for the Hollywood relic as of yet, but with the perfect pedigree to pull Gen X heartstrings, and the proliferation of stupid-wealthy fourtysomethings in and around northern California, we wouldn't be surprised to see a decent value. Just don't wait on it, life moves pretty fast around Pebble Beach. If you'd like to read a full description of the car with fewer script-quotes, look, it's real simple, scroll down.
Ferrari reopens wind tunnel after 18-month refurb
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ferrari is not a company used to being behind the curve, but if you've been wondering how the Scuderia has lost so much territory on the Formula One circuit to a relative newcomer like Red Bull, part of the answer could come down to its wind tunnel.
Seriously, the wind tunnel? Yes, the wind tunnel. Aerodynamics play an increasingly vital role in F1 racing, and while Red Bull has one of the best in the business, Ferrari's hasn't been running right for some time now.
A year and a half ago Ferrari shut down the galleria del vento at its headquarters in Maranello, citing problems with "correlation" - that is, a major discrepancy between the results it got in the wind tunnel, in CFD computations and on the racetrack. Having narrowed the problem down, the Scuderia embarked upon a major overhaul. It's been using Toyota's facility in Cologne, Germany, in the meantime, but as team principal Stefano Domenicali put it, not having your own wind tunnel on premises "is like playing basketball with one hand behind your back." Now the renovations reportedly complete, however, and Ferrari will begin using its wind tunnel again next month.
Alfa Romeo returns to F1 racing by sponsoring Sauber for 2018
Tue, Feb 20 2018Doesn't it feel good to see the Alfa Romeo emblem proudly displayed on a Formula One car again? It's been 30 years since Alfa Romeo had anything to do with F1 cars, as in the late '80s the manufacturer supplied engines to Ligier and Osella. Alfa Romeo even developed the first modern Formula One V10 engine, but that ended up in a 164 Procar instead of Ligier race cars. After a 30-year hiatus, it was announced in late 2017 that Alfa Romeo's brand would return to F1 racing by sponsoring Sauber. There isn't an Alfa Romeo engine in the 2018 Sauber C37, as it uses a current Ferrari power unit instead and Alfa Romeo's involvement is strictly about FCA's sponsoring the Swiss racing team. The drivers for 2018 are Charles Leclerc and Marcus Ericsson. Jorg Zander, Sauber's technical director, says: "The car philosophy is much different to that of the C36. The aerodynamic concept has changed significantly, and the C37 has several new features in comparison to its predecessor. We are positive that the new concept offers us more opportunities and will help us to make improvements during the course of the season. The 2018 Ferrari engine will also give us a boost in terms of our performance. We hope that we will make progress with the C37 and that we are more competitive compared to 2017."
