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! On Feb-04-14 at 23:05:06 PST, seller added the following information:
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. |

Ferrari worth over $11 billion, says Marchionne ahead of IPO
Mon, Jul 6 2015We all know that cars from Ferrari sell for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. But how much is Ferrari worth as a company? At least ten billion, according to its chairman. Speaking at the launch of the revised Fiat 500 in Turin on Friday, Fiat Chrysler CEO and Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne said he expected the vaunted Maranello-based supercar manufacturer and racing team to be valued at over 10 billion euros, or about $11 billion at current exchange rates. As Bloomberg points out, that would make Ferrari alone account for some 60 percent of the value of its parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which is currently valued at over 16 billion euros. That may seem like an aggressive estimate, but we won't have to take Marchionne at his word for long. After having floated an Initial Public Offering on the New York Stock Exchange last year, Fiat Chrysler is preparing to do the same with its Ferrari unit as soon as October. FCA will not, of course, be selling off all of its shares. The projected scheme would have ten percent (worth about one billion by Marchionne's estimates) of Ferrari's shares floated on the NYSE. Another 10 percent is expected to remain in the hands of founder Enzo's son (and company vice chairman) Piero Ferrari's hands. The remaining 80 percent is slated to be distributed among Fiat Chrysler's existing stakeholders.
2017 Ferrari California T Handling Speciale First Drive
Fri, Apr 15 2016There was a time when snow, rain, and even thick traffic were higher up the list of Ferrari's enemies than Porsche. These were mostly weekend cars, but even wet roads would see them snugly tucked up in their heated garages, and not just because to avoid scrubbing muddy shoe prints out of the carpets. Some of them were difficult enough to handle in the dry, and slick pavement sure didn't make them any more tolerant. The hottest modern Ferraris still don't enjoy being stuck in heavy traffic. Not for any mechanical reasons, mind you. They just don't bother hiding their utter disregard for the mundane, or their disregard for a driver forcing them to endure it, because they feel it's beneath them. And it is. That's where the California came in. Launched in 2008, the retractable-hardtop convertible is the most approachable in the company's range. It was aimed at newly moneyed buyers who weren't saturated in supercar folklore and wanted the badge, but not necessarily all of that attitude. Some, but not all. There are those California buyers who want the convenience with a little more attitude and the trademark crankiness. So, as it did with the original California, Ferrari has added a Handling Speciale Package to the new turbocharged California T's repertoire. This $8,120 option turns the least expensive Ferrari into something that's stiffer and faster and more fun, and the trade-off is a slightly firmer ride, all the time. 30 percent of Ferrari buyers would be happier to dump some of the California T's comfy ride in favor of more grip and more crankiness. Ferrari has left the core of the California T's engine untouched, so the 3.9-liter, twin-turbo V8 still has 557 lb-ft of torque from 4,750 rpm and 553 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. Like on every California T, the engine's boost manager only lets you access 442 lb-ft in the first three gears, with each successive gear unlocking a little more torque until you reach seventh, where the maximum is available. This helps make the California T drivable and has the added benefit of flexibility once in the tall top gear. While that is all stock on the California T, the seven-speed dual-clutch Getrag gearbox is the first part of the car to receive the Handling Speciale treatment. Ferrari rewrote its software to make it shift more aggressively both up (30 percent quicker) and down (40 percent quicker), particularly in the car's two sportier driving modes.
Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa reportedly stepping down [UPDATE]
Thu, Jul 16 2015Update: In a statement to Autoblog, Ferrari USA predictably responded: "We do not comment on rumors. There is no announcement at this time." Rumors are currently swirling in the European media that Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa (pictured above) is stepping down from his position at the Prancing Horse. An exact timeframe isn't clear at this time. Motori Online from Italy indicates Felisa might not leave the company until September, whereas Autocar reports that he has already resigned from the Italian automaker. Autoblog has reached out to Ferrari for clarification, but the Maranello-based firm has not yet officially confirmed any of this speculation. Felisa has been the company's CEO since 2008 when Jean Todt stepped down. He joined Ferrari in 1990 as the director of product development and became general manager there in 2006. Felisa was also among people thought possible to take the role as chairman when Luca di Montezemolo left the Prancing Horse last year. Sergio Marchionne retained that role. If these rumors prove true, Felisa's departure would be the biggest corporate shakeup at Maranello since di Montezemolo's departure. The move would also come at a time that's not particularly pleasant for Ferrari or its corporate parent. Marchionne recently indicated that the Prancing Horse was just days away from filing the prospectus for its imminent initial public offering. The Fiat Chrysler Automobiles executive had previously put Ferrari's value at around $11 billion. So far, all we have are rumors and reports, but as soon as we know more, so will you. Stay tuned.
