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:

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.

Ferrari F8 Tributo brings the best of the 488 Pista to the masses

Thu, Feb 28 2019

This is the Ferrari deemed worthy of replacing the 488 GTB, called the F8 Tributo. Let's start with the red meat: 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 710 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. Those numbers sound familiar? They're the same as we got from the special edition 488 Pista, and they outdo the 488 GTB by 49 hp and seven pound-feet. The F8 Tributo warps itself to 62 miles per hour in a Pista-matching 2.9 seconds, takes two tenths longer to reach 124 mph at 7.8 seconds, but runs all the way to the same 211-mph top speed. What's more, the F8 Tributo weighs 2,932 pounds dry when graced with all of the lightweight options. That's 111 pounds more than the Pista, but an 88-pound diet compared to the 488 GTB. Rear-slanted radiators frame an evolution of the Pista's S-Duct to redefine the front end. Ferrari said the under-over airflow trick delivers a 15-percent increase in downforce compared to the retiring 488. Redesigned headlights take a horizontal stance, making room for brake cooling ducts that obviated needing to fit larger brakes. The Lexan engine cover and its three subtle louvers hearken to the F40, and the quad taillights hearken to Gran Turismo Berlinetta Ferraris of yore. The enlarged spoiler hunkers over that light cluster in 812 Superfast fashion, above a rear fascia that incorporates curved mesh grilles. Ferrari says the overall look is "the bridge to a new design language." As a side benefit, it confers a 10 percent improvement in aero efficiency compared to the 488. Ferrari's updated its Side Slip Angle Control (SSAC), and made the revised Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer (FDE) available in Race mode "to make performance on limit easier to reach and control for greater number of drivers." SSAC allows for more drifty attitudes, the FDE adds automatic braking inputs to reduce the need for sudden countersteering. Formerly, FDE was only available with the steering wheel manettino control in the CT Off position. The cabin's been overhauled, starting with a smaller steering wheel dotted with a couple of additional buttons for hands-free phone operation. The former oblong vents give way to round ones, there's a new digital interface for the driver and 8.25-inch touchscreen for the passenger, and new door cards. We will be taking a much closer look at all of it come Geneva. Related Video:

Mick Schumacher in F1 Ferrari test scores second-fastest lap at Bahrain

Tue, Apr 2 2019

MANAMA, Bahrain — Mick Schumacher, son of seven-times world champion Michael, made his Formula One test debut for Ferrari in Bahrain on Tuesday and lapped second fastest behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen. On a surprisingly wet day at the same track where his father won the first grand prix in the Middle East with Ferrari 15 years ago, Schumacher was 0.597 seconds slower than the 21-year-old Dutchman. His time of 1 minute 29.976 seconds was set on the softest, and fastest, C5 tires — softer than anyone else's — and he completed 56 laps on a day where track time was limited by bad weather washing out much of the middle of the day. "I really enjoyed today. It felt like home in the garage from the very first moment with a lot of people that know me since I was very young," he said. The 20-year-old German, who made his Formula Two debut at the Sakhir circuit over the weekend and finished eighth and sixth in the two races, had been top with five minutes remaining before Verstappen went faster. It was still the first time since 2012 that a Schumacher had led an official Formula One time chart. "The SF90 is incredible because of the power it has, but it is also smooth to drive, and that's why I enjoyed myself so much," said Schumacher. "I was impressed by the braking power an F1 car has. It seemed to me you could brake later and later and the car would have made the turn anyway." The reigning European F3 champion will also test with the Ferrari-powered Alfa Romeo team (formerly Sauber) on Wednesday. Tuesday's test was Mick's first experience of a modern F1 car, although he did drive his father's 1994 title-winning Benetton at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit before the 2017 Belgian Grand Prix. Michael Schumacher, who still holds the record of 91 grand prix wins, won five of his titles with Ferrari in a golden period from 2000 to 2004. He last raced for the team in 2006 before a comeback with Mercedes from 2010-12 and has not been seen in public since he suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013. Mick, who joined the Ferrari academy in January, was the only debutant on track in a rain-hit session that followed Sunday's second grand prix of the season. Lewis Hamilton, Sunday's race winner for Mercedes after Ferrari's Charles Leclerc suffered a late engine problem, was sixth fastest.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
