The belt service is a big job, but the owner before me had just had it done. I have all the original receipts.
What I can tell you is that the car is so nice to drive. My mechanic has told me that I have to drive it more. The car is made for driving. It was not built to collect dust in a garage. I agree, but I have no time. I travel most of the time for work and on weekends my kids are doing sports all the time. . . so, no car. My itch was to be able to own this car. I've done that, and I've enjoyed it, but now it is someone else's turn. The car had the full service done at 70,992 miles by the previous owner. This is what they did to the car: Removed Covers, under car panels, exhaust system, drain all fluids, disconnect all components, removed engine, removed valve coverings, and front case cover, removed cams, all belts, and tensioner bearings, replaced all cam seals, timing belts, and tensioner bearings, adjusted valves, reset cam timing, and reinstall valve covers, and replace spark plugs, replaced water pump, and water hoses in engine, they reinstalled all components, reinstall engine back, refill engine oil, gear box oil and coolant, flush and renew break fluid, replace oil filter, air filter and fuel filter. that was a big JOB back in 2008 and it costed a little over $10,300 between parts and labor. OK, I copied this from the service report and that was the scary job every Ferrari owner wants to avoid. It's done and not due util the car hits 105,000 miles. This major job is due every 35,000 miles. It has now just over 79,000. You should be good to go for a while. |

Ferrari to debut new twin-turbo California in the spring
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Ferrari hadn't made a turbocharged engine since the F40 ended its production cycle in 1992. But that all changed when it helped Maserati develop its new 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8. That turbo engine has so far been shoehorned into the Quattroporte, along with its 3.0-liter V6 cousin that also powers the smaller Ghibli. But soon it'll wear the Prancing Horse badge as further details emerge on the next-generation California.
Set to arrive in time for the spring (likely to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March), the new California will reportedly ditch its naturally-aspirated V8 in favor of a reworked version of the Quattroporte's twin-turbo unit, which at 523 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque is already considerably more muscular than the current California's 483 hp and 372 lb-ft.
The new California will likely be closely based on the outgoing model, but benefit from revised aluminum sheetmetal and an updated cabin with a new infotainment system - two areas in which the current model has scored low marks.
Ferrari 250 GTO may have set new sale record at $52M
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Records are made to be broken, and it seems that one may have just been snapped again. An Italian website is reporting that a Ferrari 250 GTO, owned by American collector Paul Pappalardo, recently sold for $52 million.
Now, this is far from confirmed - Pappalardo responded to questions about the sale saying, "I do not confirm these things, I have no comment about!" - and if it's a private sale, it's unlikely that we'll ever know the exact amount of the transaction. If that figure is correct, though, it easily eclipses the $35 million made in a 250 GTO sale in April of 2012, as well as the $27.5-million sale of a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider sold at RM's Monterey auctions in August.
What makes a car that had 39 examples built more valuable than one that had only 10 units produced? Racing pedigree. The 250 GTO is a racing legend, with each car having a unique provenance that is more than enough to add some serious value. According to 0-100.it, the GTO in question, 5111GT, found its first owner in French racer and winner of the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, Jean Guichet, back in 1963. The Frenchman used the V12-powered racer to win the GT category of the Tour de France Automobile in that same year.
Father's ultra-rare Ferrari to leave family for a good cause
Wed, 24 Jul 2013It isn't every day that the rarest of Ferrari models change hands. In fact, you can count your fingers to get the number of 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spyders that ever existed. The 1967 Ferrari you see here is one of those ten Spyders, and it has stayed in the same family since it was bought new.
The car was bought through Luigi Chinetti, Ferrari's US importer at the time, by the late Eddie Smith Sr., a Ferrari collector and businessman from North Carolina. Smith kept it - and kept driving it - until the day he died six years ago. Since then, this remarkable machine has been collecting dust. Smith's son, Eddie Smith Jr., spent some time with Petrolicious to give a history of the car and explain why he and his family are going to do the one thing his father never could: sell it. The catch? All of the money it earns on the auction block will be donated to charity.
"It'll be a bittersweet thing, because we know the fact that all the money is going to charities that he would approve of," Smith Jr. said about his father, and it "will really make him smile, because he loved to give back."
