Ferrari F355 Replica Kit Northstar V8 Engine on 2040-cars
Providence, Rhode Island, United States
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.

Five awesome Lego car creations
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Lego cars are among our favorite toys. They're fun for play, and if built properly, great to display. With that in mind, we've crafted a list of some of the best creations we've seen. Some are on sale now, while others are merely the work of fanciful enthusiasts. There are even a couple that you definitely cannot buy (we'll explain).
Our choices are diverse, including everything from a diminutive 1969 Chevy Corvette to a fullsize Ferrari Formula One racecar. These are just five projects that caught our eye - there are many more out there - so if you don't see your favorite Lego car on the list (or if you have your own creation), please tell us about it, in Comments.
Is the $1.4M LaFerrari sold out?
Mon, 09 Dec 2013If you look at the stratospheric sticker prices on the latest generation of hypercars and wonder how an automaker could possibly justify it, bear in mind a few factoids. For one thing, even when the sticker prices start lower, they quickly balloon past the million-dollar mark. For another, automakers charge that much because they can, and don't seem to have much trouble selling them all.
Case in point: the new LaFerrari. While presenting the state-of-the-art supercar on CNBC, Ferrari North America CEO Marco Mattiacci revealed that all 499 examples that will be made of the hybrid hypercar - including those 120 earmarked for North America - have already been spoken for. This despite the $1.4 million asking price that makes it the most expensive Ferrari ever made.
Or the most expensive new Ferrari, we should say, because prices for the most collectable machines ever to roll out the gates at Maranello continue to rise. Figure you'll save a little and get LaFerrari's predecessor? Trading hands these days at prices approaching $2 million (around three times its original $660k MSRP), the Enzo is even more expensive. And that's just the scarlet tip of the iceberg.
Here's the first production Ferrari Sergio, and it's already been delivered
Fri, Dec 5 2014Not even three months after its production announcement, Ferrari has already delivered the first Sergio, a wildly modified 458 Spider meant to honor Sergio Pininfarina, founder of the eponymous design studio that has turned out so many memorable prancing horses. Unsurprisingly, the roofless Ferrari, the first of six, was delivered to the Middle East, going to the SBH Royal Auto Gallery in the United Arab Emirates' capital, Abu Dhabi. Ferrari handed over the keys at the Yas Marina Circuit, which is currently playing host to the Finali Mondiali Ferrari, the same place the FXX K debuted earlier this week. With a 605-horsepower, 4.5-liter V8, the Sergio can hit 60 miles per hour in just three seconds, although this particular Ferrari is about a lot more than performance. The Pininfarina styling is the real focus here, giving a few lucky owners the opportunity to enjoy concept-car styling in a road-legal machine. Unlike the original Sergio, that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, though, the production model is somewhat tamer. Blame the necessity that is the windshield. That, though is the most significant change in evidence. All the very best parts of the concept car have seemingly made it through to production, including the lovely forward-swept rollbar and the stylish black element that defines the profile. Take a look up top for the official images from Ferrari, and then scroll below for Maranello's press release. The first Ferrari Sergio arrives in the UAE Abu Dhabi, 5th December 2014 – The first Ferrari Sergio has arrived in the United Arab Emirates. It has been delivered today to its new owner, the SBH Royal Auto Gallery in the UAE, at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit, where the Finali Mondiali Ferrari are being staged and which is home to the Ferrari World theme park. Designed by Pininfarina, just six of this incredibly limited edition roadster are being built. The car was created to celebrate the spirit and core values of the historic Cambiano company in the 60th anniversary year of its collaboration with the Prancing Horse. Needless to say, Sergio was the only possible choice of name for the model, in homage to great Sergio Pininfarina, who sealed the unique, longstanding partnership with Ferrari. The Ferrari Sergio is a genuinely radical car. It is both exclusive and spare in the sense that every single element aboard is focused entirely on performance.
