Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
VIN: ZFFLA13B000051569 Nero (Black) Metallic Exterior with Tan Interior; 22,793 Miles (36,682 km); 5-Speed Manual; Tubi Exhaust; Tons of Records from New; Regular Maintenance; Excellent/Straight Car; Euro Model Imported New in 1984; Full EPA/DOT Papers. This 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole was imported into the USA when new by the current owner in 1984. All EPA/DOT requirements were sorted properly in 1984. Meticulous records of this process were kept, including all correspondence. A binder with all this information is with the car. The current owner enjoyed and maintained the car until selling it locally in 1994. From 1994-1998, the Ferrari continued to be properly maintained and was treated to a suspension upgrade (Theiler sway bars/bushings & springs), Tubi exhaust, upgraded steering wheel (Momo Corse), and an in-dash Blaupunkt Ventura CD83 stereo. In 1998, the Ferrari was purchased back by Fox Motorsports for the original owner. It has remained under our fastidious care for the original owner ever since. It lives in climate-controlled storage and on a battery trickle charger when not in use. It has never seen salt or snow and has had very few miles put on the car over that past 11 years. It is finished in Nero (black) Metallic with a tan interior, a welcome departure from the all too common Rosso Corsa (red). The exterior is excellent, benefitting from annual detailing regardless of miles. A repaint of the front spoiler and fenders was performed in early 1994. The removable ‘GTS’ roof panel is in excellent shape and installs/removes easily and properly. The interior is excellent as well, due to careful owners and regular treatment of the leather. The seats are near new and the controls throughout show very little wear. The only wear of note is around the ignition trim ring, on the rim of the Momo steering wheel, and on the clock’s glass cover. The power windows, headlights, indicators, driving lights, etc. all function properly. The 15,000-mile service was performed (including timing belt, etc) in 1994 (12,432 km) at Lake Forest Sports Cars (LFSC) in Illinois. LFSC also documented the replacement of the original speedometer, which had just failed at 12,432 kilometers (included with car). A new speedometer, also in kilometers, was installed and the driver’s doorsill was correctly tagged to reflect that change. In 2003 at 35,316 km (total), a 30,000-mile service, including timing belts and water pump, was performed. Regular maintenance has been done annually by Fox Motorsports (regardless of miles) including: oil, brake fluid, and coolant changes. A new set of tires were installed in May of 2011 (Bridgestone Potenza SO-2), as the previous tires were over 10 years old. Included with the Ferrari are books, records, tool kit, jack, warning triangle, spare wheel/tire, and seat covers. Fox Motorsports manages

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
Le Mans-raced 1953 Ferrari 340/375 MM headed to auction
Sat, 09 Feb 2013Vintage Ferrari models show up on the auction circuit all the time, but few can match this particular '53 340/375 MM Berlinetta Competizione in terms of historical significance. Not only did the machine compete in the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans, but this particular model managed to finish in second place before being disqualified for taking on extra brake fluid during a stop. More importantly, a total of three Formula One world champions have driven this car in competition at events like the Spa 24 Hours, Pescara 12 Hours and the Circuit of Guadeloupe.
The coolest part for us? Umberto Maglioli managed to set a public road stage record with this machine during the Carrera Panamericana by averaging 138 miles per hour over 223 miles. The effort was good enough to land the team a sixth place finish overall, and the record still stands to this day for any road stage anywhere. The 340/375 MM Berlinetta Competizione is up for auction in restored condition at the RM Auction event in Paris this week. Check out the full press release below for more information.
New Zealander builds 1962 Ferrari GTO replica in chicken shed
Thu, Feb 5 2015The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the most gorgeous vehicles ever made, but with just 39 produced, they're also some of the most expensive cars in the world, often setting records when they occasionally come up for auction. The eye-watering price presents an insanely steep barrier of entry to ownership, which has led at least one buyer to pursue a different option: simply creating his own. While the beautiful example in the video above isn't an authentic, original Ferrari, the story behind this replica goes far beyond some cheap knockoff slapped together haphazardly. Surrounded by crowing roosters and waddling ducks, Rod Temporo doesn't immediately strike you as a guy who would be building exacting replica racers in his shed. However, first impressions aren't always accurate, and Temporo is a maestro when it comes to metalwork. He has been doing this for decades and has recreated all sorts of vintage vehicles, including a beautiful Jaguar XJ13. Temporo and his team are true artisans. They make their own wood bucks for the body and then bang out the metal body with hammers and an English wheel. According to the video, it took them about four years to complete this 1962 GTO replica starting from scratch. The end result is a piece of automotive art.
