1996 FERRARI F355 STRETCHED KIT CAR Please read the entire ad before bidding. this is a project, see details below: I have a very cool project which I must regrettably pass on to someone else. I have aspired to build this car for some years now as a Father son project. However we simply haven't had the time. Now I have graduated from college and am starting my own business which consumes all of my time. With some work this could be one of the coolest cars around. (no reserve auction) This is not your average Fiero Kit car. Currently Titled/Registered in Vermont as a custom car titled "Ferro Specco" VIN# AZ-393299 which is hard to have done and is extremely important so you don't get pulled over every time you have your plate run by the Police and it comes up as a Fiero. This car is Registered and has its own custom Vin number issued by the state of Arizona. You will not require a custom vehicle safety inspection, simple as registering any other car. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The car is built on, I believe an 88' Fiero and has been heavily modified. Custom stretch to match the Ferrari F355 wheelbase, the suspension has also been modified extensively and widened which is usually accomplished with giant spacers (dangerous and looks very cheap) with these kits. (there are thin spacers to get the wheel spacing just right) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You will notice the wheel gaps on my kit are perfect thanks to the custom suspension and adjustable coilovers. Most kits look like monster trucks. Keep in mind all this work was safety inspected in Arizona. Now for the fun stuff, the car is customized for a high output 4.6L Cadillac Northstar V8 Motor, the Northstar motor currently in the car is seized. (however the car did run at one time some years ago) It is paired up to a GM automatic transmission. However the donor fiero was originally a stick shift car so with an adaptor plate you could switch back to a manual transmission rather easily during the engine swap. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am including a 1997 Cadillac Deville that runs perfectly with 42,000 miles which is the donor car I bought for this project. (owned by an older lady) I planned on using the Cadillac wiring harness to wire the kit car, engine, cluster, windows, lights etc. Just because I don't know exactly what the previous owners did wiring wise. The swap is pretty easy as it drops down from underneath with a cradle holding it up. All the engine mounts are there as far as the mechanicals go this will be like a plug and play engine swap. With a few bolt-ons this motor will easily make 300HP (This is a no title car, bill of sale only) (as a side note the car has developed sticky power steering from sitting, a common problem for this model, it turns freely turning left, but turning right is as if the car had no power steering. i haven't addressed the issue as it has nothing to do with the engine swap. and it still drives perfectly fine. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am also including a 1985 4 cylinder 5 speed Pontiac Fiero that does not run but will likely be useful in finishing up this build. (this is also no title, Bill of sale only) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have various manuals for the Fiero, Cadillac Northstar engine as well as the original build manual provided by the kit manufacturerThe exhaust is an OEM Ferrari 355 exhaust, The plumbing for the radiators in the front etc is probably still usable I would just double check everything. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The fiberglass kit is one of the highest quality kits available. Made by Air Dynamics the gel coated panels alone cost $8000. It also has an Interior kit with door cards dash tunnel etc. They were covered in black faux leather some time ago and could probably still be used as is, or easily rewrapped for desired color. They are in place, in the car but have not been fully installed Just installed brand new Windshield. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Things off the top of my head that the car needs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ----The car currently does not have seats in it. I was planning on going for a racing look and was planning to buy racing seats. ----The rims are Ferrari replica wheels, and the the chrome is beginning to bubble up on the inside of the wheel, I was going to sandblast and powdercoat them. ----Miner cosmetic fiberglass work. Over the years stress cracks have developed in a few places, these will need to be filled in before paint.
----Mirrors ( these pop up on ebay for a couple hundred bucks every once in a while. I believe a certain generation of corvette mirrors look very similar) ----headlight motors/assembly (saturn lights will work with minor modification) I was going to modify them and delete the pop ups to give the car an updated look (see attached pic of red ferrari for reference) also one foglight is missing, these are off the shelf 3" foglights. ----taillight lenses. (Chevy HHR lights look nearly identical, or you can get the real ones for $400- $600) ----Door handle situation needs some work. (generally people employ door poppers here) ----Engine swap/miscellaneous wiring ----Paint job after work is completed. ----Tires are dry rotted but hold air. ----Front blinker lenses. (If I remember correctly, lenses from a camry can be modified slightly to fit.) ----Cluster ( I was going to modify the digital Cadillac cluster to work as it is already designed to work with the ECU) should be pretty easy and will look great! ----Some kind of engine bay prop, the decklid is pretty heavy, I was going to find a standard hood prop from another car, or just use the one from the parts fiero. ----Headliner and area around rear window, I was going to use 3M super 77 and some black pleather. ----seatbelts, The seatbelts are still in the car but are cruddy. I was planning to get 4 or 5 point harnesses. ----Other odd and ends, this is a project. If you have specific questions, or would like to see the car in person please contact me. (The car, and the donor cars are located on Federal Hill in Providence RI) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is a no reserve auction.

Former Dolphin Richie Incognito takes a bat to his own Ferrari [w/video]
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Richie Incognito, the former Miami Dolphin's offensive lineman, reportedly vandalized his own new Ferrari FF with a baseball bat on Wednesday, in a story that is just the latest bizarre event to befall the professional football player.
Initial reports indicated that Incognito's car was vandalized and, weirdly, covered in t-shirts bearing the player's name. Following those reports, though, Incognito then told police that he attacked the black FF, although we're still unsure as of why.
Incognito has been in the news of late, following reports from the Miami Dolphins regarding his hazing of teammate Jonathan Martin. As for the Ferrari, damage seems rather light considering it was attacked with a bat by a 320-pound NFL offensive lineman. There are some dings and dents in the hood, and there's a piece of bat lodged in the grille, but beyond that, it looks like this FF will live to drive another day. Scroll below to watch a brief video report on the supercar beatdown.
Ferrari 458 M spotted, is there a turbo under there?
Wed, 27 Aug 2014While it's still absolutely beautiful and a performance marvel (especially in Speciale trim), the Ferrari 458 Italia has to keep up with the rapidly evolving world in supercars if it wants to continue its success. Ferrari seems to know that it can't sit back and relax, because we're now seeing a disguised 458 testing for the second time.
Since we first saw it, rumor has emerged that it updated 458, reportedly called 458 M, may follow the lead of the recently revised California by using its turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 engine. The mill makes 553 horsepower and 557 pound-feet in that application, but those numbers clearly won't be enough for the Prancing Horse, because the standard 458 already makes more. Instead, Ferrari is expected to turn things up significantly to produce around 670hp, even more than the already gutsy Speciale.
Of course, to make the big change work, the 458 M must be able to ingest huge quantities of cool air to feed those turbos, and the camouflage on this test car is likely hiding the body changes to make that possible. Ferrari does a great job here of disguising things up front on this prototype, making it frustratingly hard to spot any changes.
Nigel Mansell's Ferrari F40 sells for $870k
Wed, 15 Oct 2014If you look at the $1.35 million price tag on the new LaFerrari and wonder how Ferrari can possibly charge that much for a single car, you could look at the prices of its competitors like the McLaren P1 that lists for almost as much at $1.15 million, you could look to the $2.5 million which Ferrari is said to have charged for the exclusive F60 America - or you could look at the prices at which LaFerrari's predecessors are still trading. Take, for example, this Ferrari F40 which, 25 years since it was built, just sold for nearly $870,000 at auction.
The F40 in question, a 1989 model, may be just one of 1,315 examples made, but it has a rather noteworthy provenance: the car once belonged to Nigel Mansell, the only driver ever to hold both the Formula One and Indy titles at the same time. That Mansell - a man who had access to some of the fastest and most capable racing cars ever made - selected the F40 as his personal ride of choice speaks volumes about the car's abilities and appeal. But then he did, after all, drive for the Scuderia that season, winning the Brazilian and Hungarian grands prix.
The celebrity provenance, however, may not have actually jacked the price up at all. While it may rank towards the top of the list, this was hardly the highest price paid for an F40 at auction. According to Sports Car Market, which tracks such sales, the record currently belongs to a 1993 Ferrari F40 LM that Bonhams also sold for $2.2 million at Monterey. The highest price for a standard, non-LM model was recorded at the same event at $1.43 million.
