We purchased this car from a dealer up North, they were advertsing the car as retail ready. We made an offer on the car and were surprised when a month or so later our offer was accepted, oh little did we know. When we received the car, the first thing we noticed was the bad shrinkage to the upper dash and dash pod. The came the engine check light, then the missing tools, then the missing Tonneau cover for the convertible top. We started the car and tried to operate the convertible top, not surprisingly this didn't go to well, not too much of an issue, quite normal in the 355, just replace the seat potentiometer and re calibrate the roof. We took the car to the Independent specialist we always use to have these few things taken care of. Well, about an hour went by and I get a phone call from the technitian to go back, he needs to show me some other issues he has noticed. This is where the list starts, he has immediately noted that the cambelts which were supposed to have been changed recently looked terribly worn and deteriorated and there was obvious corrosion on the tensioners, a sign that the major service hadn't been done for quite sometime. He had also noted that the radiators on either side were leaking, the bottoms were quite badly corroded and the seams were letting fluid by. Putting the car on the computer to check the clutch, which incidentally was supposed to have been replaced at the same time the service was carried out, the result, clutch was 100% worn, now the computer is only accurate to + or - 5% and that is why the car would still drive, but not for long. On checking the cause of the engine check light we find that both Catalytic Converters were well below efficiency. (We later determined that one Catalytic Converter was completely empty and the other had remnants of the precious metals rattling around). We have since, done the complete Cambelt service with all Fluids and Tensioner's and Bearings, replaced the Clutch, replaced both Radiators, replaced both Catalytic Converters, had the both the Dash and Dash Pod recovered with leather, purchased a complete Tool kit and New Tonneau Cover. You might be asking yourself what the point of this story is, well my point is that when some dealers say "Retail Ready" and describe a car as "a Really Nice 355" that is not Black Horse Motors "Retail Ready" or a Black Horse Motors "Really Nice 355". My point, we may be towards the higher end of pricing on our cars, but our cars are at the very highest quality they can be, we don't sell cars that need anything. If a retail customer had purchased this car from the dealer in Illinois, they obviously wouldn't have purchased the car at wholesale, then the value of the work we have had carried out would be close to a retail value over $20,000. A Buyer could easily be into this car for over $80,000 maybe more. Save yourself time, stress and a whole lot of money, buy from Black Horse Motors and enjoy your car, not let her sit in a service shop all summer when you could be having a blast. We sold her Summer 2013 to a gentleman in the Daytona area of Florida who enjoyed her for about 700 miles and then decided because nof his age a new Corvette would be better for him to drive.

One Ferrari FXX K is rare. But four FXX Ks in one place is super rare. But even if you are so lucky to see so many of the racers all at once, you aren't likely to see them running Imola together. So yes, you want to watch this, and turn the volume up for good measure. Considering the rarity of these vehicles, not to mention the fact that their owners can only drive them under the careful supervision of Ferrari, we imagine the logistics of getting all these cars together was either very, very easy (since the cars stay with Ferrari at all times, like the first FXX) or remarkably difficult, because of all the personnel and equipment associated with each car in the Client Test program. Either way, bask in this scene, because as we said, we probably won't see it again soon.
Though Niki Lauda may today be chairman of the Mercedes F1 team, anyone who's seen Rush will know that he's inexorably tied to Ferrari. And it's that bond that Ferrari has celebrated with this special-edition 458 Italia. Commissioned by an evidently dedicated fan through Maranello's Tailor Made program, this one-off 458 features a red paintjob with white roof and gold wheels. It's a livery that apes the cars Lauda drove for the Scuderia in the mid-70s, and carries through with tricolore racing stripes over the roof and throughout the red-stitched black leather interior. Not the most subtle treatment we've seen, but then the Italia is hardly a subtle car to begin with. Lets just hope this particular example manages to steer clear of going up in flames as have so many 458s - and one notable 312 T2. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
After its first ever race at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, we can already tell that there should be plenty of excitement in the newly formed United SportsCar Racing series. Of the four competing classes, three of the winners came down to close last-lap performances, but perhaps none were as close - or controversial - as the GT Daytona (GTD) winner. Spoiler alert. Midway through the infield portion of the Daytona International Speedway, the Level 5 Motorsports No. 555 Ferrari 458 Italia was trying to hold onto its first-place position over the Flying Lizard Motorsports No. 45 Audi R8. The R8 took an aggressive line trying to pass the Ferrari, and it ended up running out of track and driving off the course momentarily. International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) officials originally thought there was avoidable contact on the Ferrari's part and penalized the team accordingly, which meant Flying Lizard was the class winner. After watching the video replay, though, it was clear that there was no contact between the two cars. Officials overturned the ruling, rightfully giving the Level 5 Motorsports team the Rolex win. A brief statement from IMSA is posted below regarding the matter, and we've also included a full video recap of the race from FOX Sports where you can see this GTD incident starting at the 2:30 mark.
