2000 Aston Martin DB7. Very desirable Black on Black convertible with a rare 6 speed manual transmission. This car runs and drives like new with great power from the smooth 6.0 litre V12 engine. It really feels like a true sports car because of the great shifting 6 speed manual. The paint is original and shines like new with the exception of some touch up on the front bumper cover to take care of a few roads chips and lower scrapes from going in and out of my driveway. The black leather interior shows like new with very little ware on the drivers seat bolster. The seats are very supple and not dried out like many convertibles can be from sitting out too much with the top down. The Black convertible top is very nice with a clear back glass window. The interior wood is outstanding because of a complete refinish by Madera Concepts to take care of the few cracks that usually happen with age.The wheels have no curb rash and the tires have plenty of meat left on them. This vehicle has the factory rear subwoofer and desirable factory amps. The radio and speakers have been  highly upgraded with a newer Alpine head unit and the sound is fantastic for top down driving. Car has a clean CA title and is currently registered. All service is up to date and the last complete fluid change was done in November of 2013 with less than 500 mile driven since. Car needs nothing but a new home. Call Dave with questions at 760-803-2626. Car is for sale locally and is sold AS-IS with no warranty.

You can't buy an Aston Martin GT8, but you can configure one

Tue, May 31 2016

Aston Martin launched an online configurator for the Vantage GT8, a limited-edition sports car that will be sold in other markets. The GT8, revealed last month, is arguably the ultimate version of the Vantage to date: all the extreme aero from the previous GT12, but with less mass up front. Its atmospheric 4.7-liter V8 engine churns out 446 horsepower through a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic to the rear wheels. The overall package represents the most direct translation we've seen of Aston Martin Racing's victorious racers to the road. And with turbo power enveloping the factory at Gaydon (and the AMG engine workshop in Germany), it may be the last of the great naturally aspirated Astons ever. The company will make 150 copies. The configurator offers a choice of 35 exterior colors, along with eight "accent packs," four special racing-inspired liveries, a quartet of wheel choices, six colors of brake caliper, a whole mess of carbon-fiber exterior components, and an aggressive aero kit. On aesthetic grounds alone, we'd be inclined to leave off those oversized wings, spec most of the carbon trim pieces, go with a subdued shade of green, and just the right amount of red to make it pop. Waste a few minutes (or hours) with the web tool and see how you'd spec yours. Related Video:

Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato expected to fetch over $16M

Tue, Oct 13 2015

Classic car collectors will want to head to New York on December 10. That's where RM Sotheby's will be holding its Driven by Disruption sale, with some of the most desirable pieces of automotive history on the docket. And arguably the most tempting of them is the 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato pictured here. The start of a long and distinguished partnership between Aston Martin and Zagato, the DB4 GT is considered by many (ourselves included) to be one of the most beautiful automobiles ever made. You can judge for yourself after looking over the images in the gallery above. Only 19 were originally made, of which this, the 14th example, was the only one delivered new to Australia. After undergoing a complete restoration in 2002, chassis number DB4GT/0186/R won first-in-class awards at both Pebble Beach and Villa d'Este. RM hasn't published pre-sale estimates for how much it expects to get for this one, but in correspondence with Autoblog, a spokesperson for the auction house revealed that "it is expected to fetch in excess of $16 million USD when it crosses the podium in December." That would eclipse by order of magnitude the prices fetched at auction for previous examples in recent years, which (according to the records at Sports Car Market) have traded hands for around $2.5 million. Of course, the Aston isn't the only classic automobile consigned for the event. With two months still to go before the auction takes place, RM has confirmed a 1955 Siata 208S Spider that's expected to fetch upwards of $1.5 million, a '53 Ferrari 250 Europa (~$4 million), and a '38 Bugatti Type 57C Atalante (>$2 million). Fans of more modern and rare equipment, however, may be more enticed by the Lamborghini Concept S previously announced for the auction, expected to go for as much as $3 million.
