service department, and is only minutes from St. Louis International Airport.
We are proud to offer some of the finest classic and luxury cars on the market today.
This beautiful 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB has had just two extremely attentive owners since new, and has traveled just 28,910 miles. It is finished in the most desirable color combination of Rosso Corsa over tan hides with black trim, and has its complete original tool kit and accessories. This is one of the last Ferraris to be built utilizing 4-Weber carburetors, giving it that magical Ferrari song that is simply lacking the in the later fuel injected models. This car was also built while Ferrari founder, Enzo Ferrari, was still in charge; raising its collectability factor over later cars that were not blessed by the master himself. The 308 GTB is considered a true driver’s car among Ferrari aficionados, and one turn behind the wheel makes an indelible impression on anyone lucky enough to get the opportunity. As we have consistently seen over the years, Ferrari leads the world in collector car prices and this model is poised to follow suit of the great cars that came before it. Do not miss this opportunity to acquire one of the best before prices skyrocket. Classic cars have proven to be among the most resilient and rewarding investments in recent years with the Historic Automobile Group Index (HAGI) jumping 39% in 2013 and posting gains of 395-percent over the last 10-years.

Daniel Schmitt & Company has described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability.
However, with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, so we recommend that the
potential buyer fly out to inspect as well as test drive any of the vehicles before finalizing
purchase. If your personal inspection is not possible, we will be glad to help facilitate an
inspection by your chosen local independent service center and will make arrangements to
deliver the vehicle to them for this purpose. All vehicles are sold in "AS IS" condition.
However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please be advised that
no oral statements concerning any vehicle constitute a representation or warranty of the
condition of said vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with the best service and the most
comfortable buying experience on eBay. We do not accept escrow, and all inspections must be
done prior to delivery. The only fee associated with the sale is an $285.00 processing fee
which covers processing of paperwork, pre vehicle delivery costs, cleanup, FedEx, etc and a
30-day temporary registration so the vehicle can be driven prior to transfer of title in your area.

Pertaining to non eBay winners, anyone with a deposit but the sale is pending financing, 3rd party inspection
or any other contingency, the said vehicle will not be held and is subject to be sold at any time,
until all contingencies are removed and a manager or owner accepts and signs the purchase order.

driven and actual mileage may differ at time of sale.
Condition Disclaimer
All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. We do not manufacture our product.

our best efforts to verify a vehicle's mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a

Efficient cars are all the rage these days, but Joe Kyte has made a business of crafting some of the coolest green cars around – literally. Kyte is better known by his nickname Topiary Joe, and in addition to being a talented artist, he is also a real gearhead. Kyte has been creating topiaries for the last 20 years. It began when he was marketing greenhouse products to Walt Disney World and saw their plant sculptures. He realized that he could do that and since then, has done around 3,400 pieces. His most intriguing creations are the rolling sculptures that move and turn. Prices for those start at about $18,000 and can be as high as $30,000. While, the wheels are machine-bent, Kyte said all the other parts are done with a table vice and a Lincoln Electric arc welder. Topiary Joe is taking the Porsche (pictured above) to Palm Beach later this year to sell or says he may donate it to Porsche North America. If you really want it, the sculpture is currently on Craigslist for sale for $24,000. Topiary Joe has also had a life-long love of cars. "I was driving my first MG Midget before I was 14," he told Autoblog. He grew up in Oak Ridge, TN, where the Manhattan Project was partially developed. He says the town was full of recent college grads driving Mercedes, and he caught the bug. His automotive mentor was a nuclear physicist who taught him to repair and restore the Mercs. Kyte has completed commissions for Sandals Resort, Dreamworks, Absolut, and many more. Among his favorite creations is the Ferrari that he created at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that is now exhibited at the airport each year before the race. Check out his website for a wider look at his work.
There are innumerable advantages to a company having its own test track on premises like Ferrari has with Fiorano. The Scuderia may not be able to test its Formula One machinery much on the track these days, what with the limitations placed by the FIA, but the factory can still use the circuit to wring out the road-going machinery it has under development – to say nothing of opportunities for visiting customers, journalists and VIPs. But it also means that the paparazzi know where to look to see what the company has in the works. In this case, supercar videographer extraordinaire Marchettino caught a Ferrari FF prototype running some hot laps around Fiorano. But to what end, exactly, we don't know. With the 458 expected to be updated shortly, the twelve-cylinder, four-seat, all-wheel-drive FF will soon be the oldest model in the company's lineup (introduced as it was in 2011), which would ostensibly put it next in line for a refresh. There've been rumors of a more elegant roofline to replace the hatchback, and even an eight-cylinder version to bring the model down-market slightly – although that might bring it too close to the California T. We'll have to wait and see what Ferrari has in store for its first and only all-wheel-drive model. But as you can hear for yourself in the video above, the exhaust sounds pretty raunchy, even by Maranello standards.
Ferrari is undergoing a big shakeup, and not just on the Formula One racing grid. It's just parted ways with its longtime chairman, is being spun off from the rest of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group and will soon launch its initial public offering on the stock market. But one thing it's not about to change at this point is its CEO. Speaking to journalists in Milan this past Friday, FCA chairman John Elkann said, "There will be no CEO change," indicating that the job of chief executive Amedeo Felisa is secure for at least a while longer. After two decades at Alfa Romeo, Felisa joined Ferrari back in 1990, was named general manager in 2006 and chief executive in 2008. In that capacity, he's always reported to company chairman Luca di Montezemolo, whose place was recently taken by Sergio Marchionne. It remains unclear, however, just how directly involved Marchionne will remain in the Prancing Horse marque, especially after the spin-off, and what that would mean for Felisa. In launching the IPO, Ferrari could institute a loyalty scheme that would award additional stake to the company's oldest and largest shareholders – which would only further entrench the holdings of the Agnelli family which Elkann heads and which stands to become the largest stakeholder in Ferrari after its separation from the rest of the group.
