2005 Ferrari 612
 
FOR SALE:   On offer is this beautiful 2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.  In a sea of red cars, this Grigio Titanio over Nero 612 stands out and the color really shows off the beautiful lines of this 2+2 Scaglietti.  In fact, most fans consider Titanium/Black as the best color combination on the 612! This car is in excellent condition inside, outside, and mechanically.  It includes everything - complete tools, complete jack kit, tire inflator, factory silk covers, owner's manual, two keys, etc.  If you're serious about finding the right 612, this is the car for you.

The car has been properly serviced including the most recent "major" service (belts/cam seals/upper gaskets/fluids/filters/plugs/air conditioning/rear ball joints) performed over the past couple of weeks.  Also important to note is the fact that this car has no accident history, and we're fairly certain there hasn't been any paintwork done to the car aside from the front bumper (which we had done for stone chips, then re-covered in 3M clear bra to protect it).  Of course both the Carfax and Autocheck are clean.

Please read through the detailed description and have a look at the numerous photos we've posted.  If you have any questions about the car, don't hesitate to email.  If you're interested in seeing it in person, contact us to sort out a time to meet.  If you would like to have a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) done, please contact us and we can assist with those arrangements.
 
 
OWNERSHIP/SERVICE HISTORY:   Our research has determined this car to have had only two owners.
  • The first owner purchased the car brand new in fall 2005 and he kept it a through April of 2010 - covering only 8,087 miles in that time.  Service records indicate the car was properly serviced at Ferrari during the first owner's possession.
  • The second owner, a CEO of a major real estate consulting firm, purchased the car from an authorized Ferrari dealership in May 2010, and he kept it from then through April 2013.  Owner number two traveled approximately fourteen thousand miles during that three year period.  Of course the car was consistently serviced at Ferrari dealers during the second owner's possession and it was very well taken care of.

EXTERIOR:   The outside of this Titanium Ferrari 612 is in absolutely gorgeous condition and will definitely not disappoint.  Factory Scuderia Shields accent the beautiful sweep of the front fenders and neatly show the car's heritage. As previously mentioned, this car has never been in an accident and it doesn't appear to have had any paintwork outside of the front bumper being painted for stone chips (we had the work done).  Both doors, the hood, the trunk, and even the gas door all open/close and latch smoothly.  All of the gaps around the car are even, each panel fits as it would have the day it were new, and none of the bolts have "been turned".  There are some very faint swirl marks from towel drying, but there aren't any significant scratches on the car.  Of course there are no dings or dents anywhere either.  On the top edge of the rear bumper you will see a thin scrape (since touched up) from where golf clubs gave trouble getting out of the trunk, but that's about it.  This is a very nice looking car and we're sure you will agree the exterior is in excellent condition.

The lack of cosmetic imperfections is a sign of the prior owner's conscientiousness towards the car.  You can see in the photos that it includes a 3M clear bra - likely the reason there are so few chips on the leading edges.  The car was regularly detailed and kept very clean outside and underneath... another sign the past owners were careful custodians of this Ferrari.

 
INTERIOR:   This Ferrari 612 has black interior that is accented with silver trim, and it's in great condition.  Starting with the seats, you'll see they are in excellent shape and don't have the typical shrinking or pulling.  The seats are also free of heavy bolster damage, and show only the lightest wear.  Important to note is these seats haven't been re-dyed.  Move to the door panels and you will find the leather is tight and fits just as it should.  All of the glass is factory and without blemishes.  All of the switches, controls, vent surrounds, console inserts, etc are all dry to the touch and don't have the "stickies" issue so many Ferraris had.  On to the dash, and you'll see there is slight pulling of the leather where the BOSE center speaker rests.  I'm confident an upholstery shop could re-stretch it nicely.  In the dash you will see the prior owner updated the factory radio unit with one that offers a flip-up navigation screen.  This stereo sounds great with the BOSE speaker system in the car from the factory.

I attribute the great condition of the leather inside to the past owners' use of a reflective windshield screen while the car was parked, as well as being garaged most of it's life.  It's important to have these details that you can see so well covered, to be more assured that the underlying care has also been addressed.

 
MECHANICS:   Plain and Simple - this car runs superb.  The engine starts up without hesitation and it idles and revs smoothly and without issue.  We had the car checked out and our Ferrari mechanic inspecting the car spoke about how well it runs and drives.  There were no odd fault codes stored, and there are no issues with check engine lights or any other warning lights. *Note the photos showing the gauges in ready position and running - you can clearly see all of the lights operate properly and none of them illuminate while the car's running*  The suspension on this Ferrari is tight and there are no rattles or other noises on side streets or on the highway.  The brakes are good, and the parking brake works properly too.  The transmission shifts without issue up and down through the full gear range, and it does it cold or warm.  The clutch engages properly and grips well throughout the RPM range, just as it should.  In fact, the clutch measured 83% life remaining when it was scanned last week on the Leonardo Ferrari scanner!  The Pirelli tires are all in great shape and show even wear indicating the suspension is in good order.  They measure approximately 80% tread remaining, so you won't have a tire bill anytime soon.  Once again, the car was just serviced and had the belts, seals, upper gaskets, hoses, fluids, filters, plugs, etc replaced, so it needs nothing.  This car is turn key and ready to go.

 
IN CLOSING:   If there's any questions you have at this point, please email me and I'll get back to you ASAP.  We have priced this Ferrari very fairly, and I want to make sure we cover any and all questions you have about the car.  If it's your first Ferrari, please make sure you do some research on the owner's forums to understand what you need to look for when buying a 612 (or any other Ferrari).  Far to often people will try to buy a car that costs slightly less in hopes of getting a "deal"... but by the time they add up all of the expenses to make the car "right", they realize they should have just bought a nice car in the first place and probably saved quite a bit of money in the process.  Make sure you buy a nice clean Ferrari, and get one that has been well taken care of, and comes complete.  I'm confident that if you choose this one, it will meet or exceed all of your expectations.

Thanks for your time.

Giancarlo Fisichella joins fellow former F1 drivers in United SportsCar Championship

Wed, Jan 15 2014

In business or in politics, those driven by their careers typically aim for the highest position they can get to, and after they're done there, they typically retire. But not in motor racing. With an expiration date hovering in their mid-30s at best, Formula One drivers typically seek out other racing series to compete in once they've outlived their career on the grand prix circuit. And there is no lack of racing disciplines that are glad to welcome them in with open arms as motor racing royalty. With the calendar announced and the teams lined up, the roster of drivers is taking shape for the inaugural United SportsCar Championship. And while there hasn't been a large number of former F1 drivers – much less grand prix winners – lining up for the series, there have been some. Risi Competizione, the team that typically fields Ferrari entrants in American GT racing, has just announced that Giancarlo Fisichella will be driving for them in the United SportsCar Championship this season. The veteran of 231 grands prix has driven for Minardi, Jordan, Benetton, Sauber, Renault, Force India and Ferrari. In the case of the latter, he filled in for an injured Felipe Massa, and remains a Ferrari factory driver. Over the course of his fourteen years on the grid, he won three grands prix and landed on the podium 19 times. That makes Fisichella, who just turned 41 on Tuesday, the most accomplished former F1 driver to sign on for the American series, but he's not the only one. Other drivers already lined up include David Brabham, Max Papis and Christian Fittipaldi – each of whom contested a handful of grands prix in the 1990s – as well as Sebastian Bourdais, who drove for Scuderia Toro Rosso after dominating in Champ Cars for four years and left F1 in 2009 along with Fisichella, who currently looks to be the only driver lined up for this year's Rolex 24 at Daytona who's won a grand prix or even scored a podium finish. While Brabham, Papis, Fittipaldi and Bourdais will all be driving in the top-tier Prototype class, Fisichella will be trying to make his mark in the GTLM class. We'll be watching to see whether he can add that trophy to the class titles he's already accrued in the Le Mans Series, the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans itself in the five years since leaving F1.

Robert De Niro cast as Enzo Ferrari in new film

Thu, Apr 9 2015

In one of Robert De Niro's early defining roles, he portrays a young Vito Corleone as a man climbing up the ranks of the New York underworld in flashbacks during The Godfather: Part II. Soon, we might see De Niro stepping into the shoes of a godfather from the Italian sports car industry in a biopic about Enzo Ferrari. According to The Guardian, De Niro recently told an Italian newspaper that the film would go into production soon and would shoot in Italy. This project apparently holds a high priority for him, and in addition to starring, De Niro's company is co-producing. It could be a while before we see the film in theaters because the script is still being written. We're also told that Clint Eastwood might sit in the director's chair, if he likes the story. Ferrari had a life every bit as fascinating as many fictional characters with stints as a racecar driver, an engineer and of course a canny businessman. He also held a long passion for motorsports, which could make for some very exciting scenes. According to The Guardian, the film would focus on Ferrari's life from around the founding of his sportscar company in the mid '40s through to his death in the late '80s. With characters like Jake Lamotta in Raging Bull and Sam Rothstein in Casino under his belt, De Niro certainly has shown the chops to portray a larger-than-life figure like Ferrari. Hopefully, he has retained the clout to get the film finished, though. Similar motorsports biographies haven't made it to the screen, such as the supposed Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise flick Go Like Hell or the Mad Men-inspired TV show about sports car racing in the '50s and '60s.

James Glickenhaus teases sleek SCG 003 supercar

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

He may not have known it at the time, but James Glickenhaus started a small revolution when he commissioned Pininfarina to turn his Ferrari Enzo into a tribute to the legendary 330 P3/4. The P4/5 is what resulted, and Ferrari gave its blessing for it to wear the Prancing Horse emblem - something it hadn't done for a coachbuilt custom in decades. A slew of rebodied Ferraris followed, prompting the factory to launch its own coachbuilding division. But Jim wasn't out of the picture.
The former Hollywood filmmaker and investment banker followed up with the P4/5 Competition based on the 430 Scuderia, and started Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to race it. Now SCG is returning with a new project, and has released this teaser video (which you can view in the embedded Facebook post below) to keep us on our toes.
From the few glimpses the video provides of a rendering, it's hard to tell much, but from what we can see, it looks pretty slick. Just what sort of technical details will form the underpinnings remains to be seen, but we're looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
