1980 FERRARI  308 GTSi 

(Fuel Injected Model)

 

We are a vehicle export company, located in the heart of Daytona Beach, Florida , USA, Racing Capital;-). We acquired this Ferrari from a client who had an overdue pending/delinquent payment owed to us.

It was supposed to have been exported to Brazil two years ago. The car has since been parked in our warehouse for almost 2 years.

Once we took possession of the vehicle, we sent it over to our mechanic (who is NOT a Ferrari expert) and he told us we would have to spend between $5,000.00 to $15,000.00 for timing belt service etc... It's crazy. For that reason we were thinking to swap the original engine for something more modern, faster, etc. That classic Ferrari body with a Corvette LS Serie or a Hayabusa turbo engine… this would make it a good option for the South American track-day market…Believe or not.

I know it's a Ferrari, but its original engine isn't exactly the most up-to-date in "fast technology". Definitely not.... lol...

To sell this car in parts would be the best option to receive the most money out of it. But unfortunately we don't have time for that. We are located in Florida, but we don't work with car sales in the USA market, especially parts wise. 

To sell the car in a whole is not the best option for us money-wise, but it is a whole lot easier.

Maybe this would be ideal for someone with connections for cheaper service... or even to sell as/for parts.

We don't know the exact cost of service needed for the timing belt. Could be anywhere from 5, 10 or 15 thousand…

If the car is not sold in this auction,  we will go back to our crazy "affordable Ferrari" race car project.....When life gives you lemons…you get it.

Pictures of the Ferrari are attached. Please, look at all the pictures.

The car has a very nice solid body, with all original parts including the 04 wheels, central console controls, Top, ID tags, etc…

It's a NO RESERVE auction. The highest bidder will take it home.

SOLD AS IS 

Thank you and happy bidding!

If you have a ZERO feedback account on eBay but are a serious buyer, please contact me first before placing your bid or else it will be cancelled.

There are zero feedback "buyers" with no intentions of actually making a purchase; probably someone selling a similar car who wants to take mine off the market so there is less competition.

If the winner of the auction has a zero feedback history, I will offer the car to the second placed bidder.

On another note: please read the ad carefully. The car needs to have the timing belt done. It is not fully drivable. 

Thanks and happy bidding.


On Feb-05-14 at 00:11:39 PST, seller added the following information:

Also, please note the car is 30 years old and has been sitting for 2 years. 

The key turns, it starts up badly but surely, but will cut off eventually and can be started again. 

When I accelerate, I hear a fluttering noise. 

Feels like a Engine misfire. It sounds like an incomplete combustion in the engine cylinder. 

*No problems with Gears, Clutch(transmission), Brakes.

*No problems with window motors, radio, headlight motors, ac(not sure)

*The car has never been in a wreck and the previous owner said the paint is original.  I don't know how to verify if it's true or not but it looks good.

Two weeks and 2,000 miles in Ferrari's FF with Evo

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

EVO's Harry Metcalfe had some questions about the day-to-day livability of the Ferrari FF. When he brought those questions up to Ferrari, they suggested he take one for a couple of weeks and try it out for, as he calls them, "mundane duties." The image above is Metcalfe pointing to the 660-horsepower, all-wheel drive FF parked in one of his fields because, since he lives on a farm, mucking about the green is part of his daily routine. "It could use more ground clearance," he says, "but that's an option on this car."
He does get it on the "tarmac" and he likes it even more there than in the mud. Except for the buttons on the steering wheel; he thinks learning to use them is like learning to play guitar. He has a lot more to say besides that, and you can watch him expound for all of 17 minutes in the video below.

1957 Ferrari 335 S could set auction record at $30+ million

Fri, Jan 22 2016

This car that could set the record for the highest price to be paid for an automobile at auction in 2016 – by the second month of the year, no less. It's a 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider, and it's going up for sale at Artcurial in Paris next month, with an estimate topping $30 million. Though it may look a lot like the iconic 250 Testa Rossa that came out the same year, chassis number 0674 actually started out its life as a 315 S and fitted with coachwork by Scaglietti. After finishing sixth at Sebring and second in the Mille Miglia, it returned to Maranello and was upgraded to 335 S spec. The 3.8-liter V12 was enlarged to 4.1 liters, and its output swelled from 360 horsepower to nearly 400. Mike Hawthorn drove it at Le Mans that year, leading the race and setting a lap record before dropping down to fifth with mechanical troubles. It went on to compete in several more events as part of the factory Scuderia, helping it secure the title in 1957. It was then sold to famed US importer Luigi Chinetti who campaigned it for another couple of years, winning (among others) the 1958 Cuba Grand Prix with Stirling Moss and Masten Gregory behind the wheel. The 335 S was ultimately sold to noted collector Pierre Bardinon. Asked once why he didn't have a factory collection, Enzo Ferrari once said he had "no need" because "Bardinon has done it for me." That's high praise indeed, and the car remained one of the highlights of the Bardinon collection for over 40 years. Having liquidated the Baillon barnfind collection last year, the auction house estimates that this 335 S will sell for $30-34 million. That would not only set the bar very high for the year ahead, but could make it one of the highest price ever paid for a car at auction. 2014 saw a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sell for nearly $40 million, and a 250 GTO for $38 million. Behind them is Fangio's Mercedes W196 Silver Arrow that sold for nearly $30 million in 2013. The auction is set to take place during the Salon Retromobile in the French capital on February 5th. Among the other Prancing Horses that Artcurial has corralled for the event include a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta (estimated at $10–13.2m), Gianni Agnelli's unique 1986 Ferrari Testrossa Spider ($750k-1m), and a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series 2 that belonged to the King of Morocco ($1.5-1.9m). So if it's a multi-million-dollar Ferrari you're after, Paris will be the place to be in a couple of weeks.
