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. |

Race Recap: 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix a thrilling wet mess
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Three Free Practice sessions left us thinking Lewis Hamilton looked good to claim another victory for Mercedes AMG Petronas and close up the Driver's World Championship race, but the first qualifying session for the 2014 Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix threw out that script. A fuel leak in Q3 set Hamilton's car aflame and he never set a time. His chassis damaged beyond repair, the team built him a new one and he started from pit lane. That same session also claimed Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen, when a bad call about whether to go out again dropped him down to 17th and out for the day.
Without a real challenge, that put Hamilton's teammate-slash-nemesis Nico Rosberg on pole in the other Mercedes, followed by a resurgent Sebastian Vettel in the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Valtteri Bottas in the first Williams and Daniel Ricciardo in the second Red Bull. Fernando Alonso waved the scarlet in fifth for Ferrari but figured he could be in third place by the end of the first lap. Felipe Massa put the second Williams in sixth, followed by Jenson Button in the first McLaren, Jean-Eric Vergne getting up to eighth for Toro Rosso, Nico Hülkenberg in ninth for Force India and Kevin Magnussen in the second McLaren.
When rain poured on the 4.381-kilometer Hungaroring before the race, every script up and down the field got rewritten, and they would continue come in for revision almost every one of the 70 laps.
2015 Japanese Grand Prix is a little Mercedes, a lot of zen
Mon, Sep 28 2015Just one week on from the issues in Singapore Mercedes-AMG Petronas appeared to have solved its clamp problems and everything else. Daniil Kvyat at Infiniti Red Bull Racing took the two Free Practice scalps on Friday, but when it came time for qualifying the front of the grid looked really familiar: Mercedes' Nico Rosberg took his second pole position of the season, Lewis Hamilton next to him in second. Kvyat had a hand in that, too, the Russian getting into a big accident in Q3 when he put two wheels on the grass heading into the hairpin and veered into the tire wall so hard that he flipped. That ended qualifying before a number of drivers had a chance to improve their times, Hamilton among them. That's how Valtteri Bottas got in third for Willliams ahead of Sebastian Vettel fourth for Ferrari. Felipe Massa had the second Williams in fifth, ahead of Kimi Raikkonen in the second Ferrari. Daniel Ricciardo lined up sixth for Infiniti Red Bull Racing, a team we're going to have to enjoy watching for the rest of the season since it might not exist come 2016. Romain Grosjean gave Lotus some good news by getting into eighth, the team so strapped for cash that it couldn't get into its hospitality area, so it held press conferences outside and ate at Bernie Ecclestone's Paddock Club. Sergio Perez took ninth for Sahara Force India, and Kvyat slotted into tenth after not setting a time. The Russsian's race would begin from the pit lane once his mechanics rebuilt his car. It wouldn't be a Formula One start lately without someone at the front having clutch problems. This time it was pole man Rosberg, whose power unit got too hot and put him a few horsepower down on Hamilton through Turns 1 and 2. That's half of how Hamilton took the lead from the lights going out, and the Brit kept it throughout the race. Rosberg, however, said his race was lost when Hamilton pushed him wide through Turn 2, a move Hamilton defended. Rosberg finished almost 19 seconds behind his teammate, a gap that probably isn't fully explained by that opening incident. Hamilton's race was so uneventful that we almost never saw him on camera – that is, we saw him so much less than we usually see him when he's out in front and unpressured that Nikki Lauda said he'd ask Ecclestone why the cameras avoided him. The conspiracy theory holds that FOM was punishing Mercedes for not supplying Red Bull with engines next year.
Ferrari picks up ex-Sauber driver Esteban Gutierrez as test pilot
Wed, Dec 17 2014With McLaren's long-awaited confirmation of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button, the grid for the 2015 Formula One World Championship is finally complete. (That is, at least, aside from the bankrupt Caterham and Marussia teams, whose fate for next season still remain open.) But with the big game of musical chairs now drawn to a close, not everyone who had a seat this year will have one the next. And that includes one Esteban Gutierrez, who lost his ride with Sauber but has landed a test driver role with Ferrari instead. Gutierrez climbed up through the formula racing ladder, winning the 2008 Formula BMW Europe and 2010 GP3 titles before getting his start as a test driver with the Sauber team – a role which he held for two seasons while simultaneously putting up a good fight and winning races in GP2. Sauber promoted him to the race seat in 2013 (when he placed a career-best seventh place at the Japanese Grand Prix) and kept him on board for another season. But after failing to finish in the points even once this past year, both he and veteran team-mate Adrian Sutil were both replaced for next season. Taking their place will be Marcus Ericsson (who drove for Caterham this year) and newcomer Felipe Nasr (who served this season as test driver at Williams). That's left Gutierrez without a race seat, but Scuderia Ferrari has snapped him up as its official test and reserve driver for next season. In that capacity he'll be offered the chance to drive top-flight machinery and hone his skills with a front-running team, and will be on standby should either Sebastian Vettel or Kimi Raikkonen be unable to drive at one grand prix or another. Most of the other teams have yet to confirm their third drivers, but Williams recently announced it was promoting Susie Wolff to the job and McLaren confirmed Kevin Magnussen was bumped down for next season to make way for Alonso. The move may strike some as odd since Gutierrez is not part of the Ferrari Driver Academy development program, but Sauber has long shared close ties with the Maranello-based team. Ferrari supplies engines to Sauber, which in turn sometimes graduates drivers to the Scuderia. Former Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella both drove for Sauber, and current drivers Vettel and Raikkonen both got their starts there as well. A Mexican driver is back to Maranello Maranello, 15 December 2014 – Ferrari announces that, as from next season, Esteban Gutierrez will become part of the Scuderia workforce.
