1983 Ferrari Mondial QuattroValvole Cabriolet -VIN ZFFMC15A9D0048197
For your consideration is my clean 1983 Ferrari Mondial QV Cabriolet Convertible – the handbuilt four seater that
returned classic Pininfarina styling back to Ferrari and the quintessential four-seat Ferrari drop-top from the
mid-engined 80s!
Wearing just over 39,700 miles, this car has been our family weekend cruiser for the past five years. I have the
factory keys, original books and manuals and a good number of service records from my ownership and before. I
purchased the car from a collector in the Denver area, and prior to that it lived in the San Francisco Bay Area.
It’s been an absolute joy to own, but as with many car enthusiasts my short attention-span has me looking at
other opportunities to fill the garage space that this car is presently occupying…
The key major service item on these cars, and you have doubtless read, is the four-figure five-year timing belt
replacement which on this car was performed earlier this month. At the same time the mechanics addressed the
following:
· Installed new German canvas soft convertible top
· Replaced spark plug wires and extenders
· Replaced engine timing belts
· Replaced tensioner bearings
· Replaced a/c compressor and alternator belt tensioner bearings
· Replaced oil temperature sensor
· Replaced shifter shaft seal and boot
· Replaced transmission oil pan gaskets
· Replaced axle seals
· Replaced oil hose to cylinder head camshaft
· Replaced camshaft seals
· Replaced air pump pulley bearing
· Replaced engine oil and filter
· Changed transmission oil
· Replaced engine air intake hose
The car does not show any sign of fluid leaks and a new battery was installed last month. The convertible top was
replaced with a beautiful German canvas convertible top consistent with the high quality of a Ferrari.
On the inside, this car is in very nice condition. The interior has been refurbished andthe front seats rebuilt
using sturdy padding and beautiful new supple Italian leather. They are extremely comfortable and ready for a
casual cruise or a long drive to the next Mondialpalooza!
The velour carpeting is in excellent condition, and is covered with floor mats featuring the Ferrari emblem. The
dashboard is in excellent condition with no cracks or blemishes. There are no foul odors – there doesn’t appear
to have ever been any smoking or leaks inside. The air conditioning, power windows, convertible top, and power
locks all work properly. The car even comes with a Cobra theft alarm installed. The original factory radio needs
repair or replacement but for me the sound of the Ferrari V8 engine has always been music enough!
Outside, the car is remarkably straight save for a few small parking lot dings. I have not seen any sign of rust
anywhere on the car. The red “Rossa Corsa” paint carries a sparkling shine, and the doors shut with the
appropriate thunk. All of the lenses are in good, clear condition. The wheels are an improvement over the original
TRX metric-style and there is a spare tire in the trunk along with a complete tool kit and jack.
The motor starts easily and settles to a very smooth idle. The steering functions properly, and the 5-speed manual
transmission shifts smoothly. There are no odd noises or whines from the driveline. The brakes are in good
condition and do not pull. The car pulls like a freight train and achieves super-legal speeds in the blink of an
eye.

Race recap: 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix was everything good and bad about F1

Mon, Apr 4 2016

Nothing was as it seemed heading into Bahrain. We were told team bosses had nixed the qualifying experiment that flunked every test by every measure in Australia, but that didn't happen. The FIA didn't give the teams the option of a wholesale return to the old format, the governing body only held a vote on whether to revert back to the old format in Q3 but stick with elimination gimmicks in Q1 and Q2. McLaren and Red Bull dissented, denying the chance for hybrid rounds. We're surprised none of the smaller teams voted against since elimination qualifying is hardest on them. Given the chance to fix the system again in Bahrain, Formula 1 failed again. The FIA and Bernie Ecclestone don't want to go back to the old system – because the race promoters don't want to go back to the old system – so all we know for sure is that there will be more meetings. We also thought Fernando Alonso would race in Bahrain after being given medical clearance, but a follow-up scan by the FIA showed fractured ribs and a damaged lung, ruling him out. And we thought Ferrari might have the pace to conquer Mercedes-AMG Petronas this year – and they might yet, but not on Saturday. That's why the Bahrain race began with another Mercedes one-two, Lewis Hamilton ahead of Nico Rosberg, Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen behind. The Australian outback is plagued with rabbits, which must have something to do with how Daniel Ricciardo keeps pulling them out of his helmet; the Aussie got his Red Bull up to a surprising fifth on the grid. Williams drivers Valtteri Bottas in sixth and Felipe Massa in seventh would need to get him out of the way quickly to show what the car can do after an unsatisfying race in Australia. Nico Hulkenberg lined up in eighth for Sahara Force India. As proof the qualifying format failed again with its sophomore attempt, the last five minutes of Q2 were disappointing. Hulkenberg had the track completely to himself for his quali run, the only two cars on track after him were the Williams duo who weren't setting a time, but getting a set of soft tires ready to start the race on. As for Q1, the only reason for on-track action in the last three minutes was because Hamilton flubbed his first timed run. Romain Grosjean continued Haas F1's fruitful start to the season with ninth place, ahead of Max Verstappen in the Toro Rosso closing out the top ten. At the end of a long red light to start the race, Rosberg claimed his right to victory before Turn 1.

Lego Ferrari F40 built a brick at a time on time-lapse video

Fri, Dec 11 2015

The Ferrari F40 stands as an icon of its era and might be the greatest supercar of all time. The wedge-like shape and squared-off headlights scream high-performance of the late '80s, and the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 makes a magical sound behind the driver's ear. As much as we'd all love to park one in our garages, owning one of these Italian masterpieces is out of the budget for most of us because prices push $1 million or even more for an LM. Even if you can't afford the real thing, Hagerty presents a much less expensive option in a video that puts a version together using Lego pieces, one brick at a time. Starting from only two bricks, the Ferrari slowly comes together, and it's fascinating to watch the supercar take shape. First, the plastic version of the famous engine emerges, and then the red body gradually appears. The video lets you see hours of work at the kitchen table happen over just one minute. According to Lego's website, its F40 kit sells for $99.99 and includes 1,158 pieces. The finished product doesn't make the real thing's bombastic sound but is at least a more affordable gift for the holidays. Related Video:

Chris Harris brings together the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1

Sat, Nov 21 2015

The Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 show that a hybrid powertrain can make for blistering performance despite its electric assist. This trio doesn't arrive on track together very often, but Chris Harris assembled these three stars at the Portimao circuit for a nearly hour-long demonstration of their amazing capabilities. So, which one is quickest around the track? Harris provides an answer with in-car video of all three contenders. His team also goes out of its way to even the playing field by sourcing tires independently from Pirelli for the P1 and LaFerrari. With the technical part out of the way, Harris can start having fun by doing his usual slides during the driving comparison. Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti also eventually show up to provide the perfect recipe for a track battle in these hypercars. If you don't have the time, skip about 14:25 into the clip just to see the lap times. However, those numbers only tell a tiny part of the story. The whole video is definitely worth a watch.
