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 won't quit F1, says Christian Horner
Sat, Nov 11 2017SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Ferrari and Formula One need each other just as much and the Italian glamor team's latest threat to leave after 2020 sounds like bluster, Red Bull principal Christian Horner said on Friday. Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne last week warned that his team could walk away, when current contracts expire, if they disagreed with the direction the sport was taking under new U.S.-based owners Liberty Media. Ferrari have made similar threats in the past under different management and Horner, whose team were champions for four years in a row between 2010-13, was skeptical about the fresh warning. "They'll bluster that they don't need Formula One, but what other form of motor racing is going to give Ferrari the platform that Formula One does?," Horner told Sky Sports F1 after first practice at the Brazilian Grand Prix. "The two go hand-in-hand together and have done since the beginning of the championship (in 1950). Nobody wants to lose Ferrari. And I don't think Ferrari can afford to lose Formula One," added the Briton. "So there'll be a lot of brinkmanship and chest-puffing at the moment. But I think when the music stops, they'll be there." Horner suggested also that Marchionne's response was part of a bigger picture that includes possible changes to the distribution of revenues. Ferrari currently receive a bigger share than any team due to their historic status as the sport's oldest and most successful entrant, and will be resistant to taking any reduction. Former commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone, who dealt with Ferrari for decades under late founder Enzo and then Luca di Montezemolo, told Reuters this week that Marchionne's words should be heeded however. "The difference is that Sergio wasn't the guy in control before," said the 87-year-old, who was ousted by Liberty in January. "If he decides that's what he's going to do, that's what he'll do." "The world is changing an awful lot. So things that you would say would never happen, may happen." (Reporting by Alan Baldwin in London, editing by William Maclean)Related Video:
Ferrari Lusso ownership will add some time to your morning commute
Fri, 19 Apr 2013If you've ever driven a vintage vehicle on a regular basis, you know the process from getting from point A to point B is a bit more convoluted than simply hopping in and going. There are rituals to observe, checklists to run through and processes to address before ever touching the ignition. Neglect any one of a number of small tasks and you're likely to find yourself on the side of the road. James Chen, the owner of Axis Wheels, knows all about that. You see, he owns a gorgeous Ferrari Lusso, and coaxing the V12 under the hood to life requires a certain amount of procedure.
Once it's rolling, of course, all that premeditation seems entirely worth the effort. Chen does his best to keep the machine out of traffic, but refuses to keep the coupe sealed away in a museum, so he gets up early and takes to the canyon roads around LA before anyone else is awake. Atta boy.

F1 cars will have cockpit protection for the 2018 season
Fri, Jul 29 2016Formula 1's sanctioning body, the FIA, reported that the F1 Strategy Group decided chose the 2018 season to be the first to feature new cockpit technology to protect drivers. The decision was made to allow more time to develop the technology, instead of rushing it into use. The halo design being tested by Ferrari is still the most likely solution that uses a solid ring above and around the cockpit with a central pillar ahead of the driver. The F1 Strategy Group did say that they will be open to any other options that may develop in the coming year. Red Bull has also been developing a system that is closer to a wind-screen. The push to develop new safety technology came after Jules Bianchi's fatal crash with a recovery truck at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix. His car slipped underneath the back of the truck leaving his head vulnerable in the impact. It is possible a device like the Halo could have prevented this, but in its current, it form wouldn't protect a driver from the sort of loose debris that hit Felipe Massa during qualifying for the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.
