Rust Free, unmolested Mustang Cobra.  I am the second owner of this car which I bought about 11 years ago.  The car originally came from California to Utah in 2003 and I bought it with 13000 miles on it.  I drove the car for two summers and then took a job in Japan that ended up lasting 8 years.  The entire time the car had been in storage in Utah, it has never seen snow or salt and held up very well in storage. I had greased all the seams in the car prior to putting it in storage which you can see in some of the pictures. It roughly had 16,700 miles on it when I took it out of storage two months ago.  I have had the clutch, brakes and all the fluids serviced by a Ford dealership in the last month and have put a new set of Michelin tires all the way around.  While in storage I came back every year and changed the oil and ran the car for a few hours.  To date the car has just over 18,000 original miles and has just made the trip from Utah to Colorado.  The paint on the car is all original to the best of my knowledge, I did talk to the original owner who said the car had never been wrecked and I ran a car fax as well and it came back with no accidents.  As nice as the car is please understand that it is not a perfect show car it does have some paint blemishes and a ding in the drivers fender that is hard to see but its there.  The pictures of the car are current and had been taken 6 September 2014.

On the inside it has the black leather, power seats that are not perfect but are still supple and soft and are not ripped or cracked but does show some stress lines that you can see in the pictures.  I conditioned the leather every year while in storage to keep them as nice as possible.

The drive-line on the car is tight and smooth and has no leaks of any kind.  Still feels like a new car......

This is a great car that I am only selling because it no longer fits my family as I now have 4 kids, but it would be a great candidate for restoration or just to enjoy as it is.

Please be advised that I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as the car is for sale locally in Colorado as well and if the car sells through auction the winning bidder will be responsible for shipment arrangements and costs.  This is a no reserve auction highest bid will take it if it does not sell locally first.

Ferrari dominant at high-priced RM Auctions' Monterey event

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Of the 21 multi-million-dollar lots sold over RM Auctions' two-day Monterey event, the top six were Ferraris while the top four were members of the vaunted 275 family. In total, 13 of the 21 seven- and eight-figure entries bore the yellow shield and prancing horse of the Scuderia.
Two cars in particular wowed bidders at the Monterey event - the exceptionally rare Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale and a 275 GTB/4 that was originally owned by Hollywood legend Steve McQueen.
The GTB/C Speciale was the first of a three-car run. Ferrari originally planned on campaigning the new range as a GT complement to its prototype entries at Le Mans, although squabbles with the FIA limited its racing career. Still, the extremely rare nature of this car means another example probably won't be coming up for auction for several years. Considering that, the GTB/C's selling price of $26.4 million does make a bit of sense.

Ferrari boss Montezemolo expects big changes from FIA

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

You'd think that with former Ferrari principal Jean Todt running the FIA, the relationship between the motorsport governing body and the team he once called home would be a solid one. But his former boss expects more from the organization that overseas Formula One.
In a recent interview (excerpts from which you can read below), Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo pointed to some perceived inconsistencies in rulings made by FIA officials this season and called for "strong changes." Among those controversies was a drive-through penalty handed to Felipe Massa at the season-closing Brazilian Grand Prix last weekend, his last for the Scuderia. Massa was reprimanded for cutting across the white line that marks the exit from the pit lane, the penalty for which dropped him from fourth place in the race to seventh, and cost Ferrari its second place in the final standings for the constructors' championship - and with it a good $10 million in prize money. Montezemolo characterized the penalty as "disproportionate and unjust".
The Ferrari chief also pointed to penalties handed to Mercedes as either too harsh or not harsh enough, calling for greater consistency in FIA rulings and implying that more permanent race stewards be appointed instead of alternating race to race.

Last Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spider could top $26m at auction

Tue, Apr 19 2016

One of the prettiest convertible Ferraris built, the NART Spider is also one of the rarest – only ten cars ever left the factory. This specific car was the last off the line, and has the additional distinction of being the only NART Spider sold new in Europe. It was also the only one painted in the Grigio Scuro shade of medium grey from factory. It has been redone in a tasteful red, which is an interesting change from the usual bright Ferrari color. It is also the third-to-last Ferrari 275 to be built altogether. The NART name stands for North American Racing Team, and the drop-top production run is credited to the U.S. Ferrari distributor Luigi Chinetti, who wanted to boost the 275 model's sales with a limited edition convertible model. Originally, Ferrari planned to build 25 cars, but despite the racing pedigree only ten found owners. The first NART Spider finished second in class at the 1967 12 Hours of Sebring, and the model also has some Steve McQueen cool about it due to a starring role in The Thomas Crown Affair. This car, chassis #11057, was sold new in Madrid to a Spanish Foreign Legion colonel, and spent its first 14 years in Spain. In the early 1980s it was bought by a Swiss collector, who had it restored for the first time, and in the mid-90s it moved to the UK. The current paint scheme dates back to 2001, while the interior's beige leather re-trim is from 2009. Despite a gradual change in appearance, it is a fully numbers-matching car that still retains the 300-horsepower Colombo V12 it received at the Maranello factory. A similar NART Spider was auctioned at RM Auctions' Monterey event in 2013, for a staggering $27.5 million. That specific example, finished in a brighter hue was estimated at 17 million tops, so it will be interesting to see whether this darker car will surpass its estimate at the auction held on May 14th.
