This gorgeous CBL Ferrari Testarossa Spyder is one of only few powertop convertibles in the world making it the ultimate in rare exotics. CBL conversions were the most innovatively engineered and most expensive conversions ever performed on the Testarossa. Other companies used inferior manual tops and vinyl rear windows. The car is equipped with factory original single-spline knockoff alloy wheels and a power convertible top/targa with glass rear power window. The 4.9L, 12-cylinder engine puts out 390 HP and plenty of torque. The car has been well-maintained and has already had its out-of-car major engine and tranny service completed ($26,000). This car was the world's fastest production car in 1988 at 181 mph (290 km/h). Going through the gears in this car is truly music to the ears and a real pleasure to drive. This is a very rare opportunity to own a highly-desirable legend. Intresting trades considered, Countach, Dodge daytonas, Hemi cars, etc.

Please ask questions prior to  bidding.

Previewing the 2014 Paris Motor Show

Fri, 26 Sep 2014



Don't let the shiny objects detract from the serious side of the show. Sales, fuel economy and regulations are part of the conversation.
The Paris Motor Show is one of the glitziest events on the automotive calendar. Yes, it helps that it's in the City of Light, but the glamorous surroundings only enhance the spectacular wares that automakers bring to the show. This is where Europeans debut their best new cars for the coming year, both as eye-catching concepts and in production trim.

Ferrari-driving kid's parents charged by Indian police [w/video]

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

Earlier this month, we reported on a video that was circulating the internet which showed a young boy driving a Ferrari F430 on a street in India while other children watched and two adults recorded the whole thing. And that was all that we knew at the time. Now, there is more information about the car, the kids and their parents thanks to an article in the Daily Mail. As it turns out, a wealthy businessman let his son drive the Ferrari as a present for his ninth birthday and recorded the whole thing while his six-year-old son was riding shotgun.
According to the report, the father, Muhammad Nizam, faces charges and possibly the seizure of the car for letting his son get behind the wheel. Oddly enough, the video is still up on YouTube, and we have it posted for you below.

Shell Ultimate Automotive Enthusiast contest returns to send winner to Barrett-Jackson and Maranello

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

The first Shell V-Power Ultimate Enthusiast contest was held last year and sent finalists to a VIP experience at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, while the grand prize winner went to Maranello, Italy for some intimate time with Ferrari. The Dutch member of the seven sisters is doing it again this year: from now until September 17 anyone who wants a chance to live the same adventure can submit stories and photos that prove why they're the ultimate enthusiast.
Among the judging panel will be Roger Penske, Craig Jackson of Barrett-Jackson, drag racer Don Prudhomme, Tony Marini of Hot August Nights, Car and Driver chief Eddie Alterman, Road & Track honcho Larry Webster and last year's contest winner Harold Craige (pictured above with his wife at Fiorano).
Anyone in the US is welcome to submit. Three finalists will be flown to Scottsdale for a three-day VIP tour of Barrett-Jackson's January action, and they'll get a year's worth of V-Power premium gasoline. The grand prize winner will be announced in Arizona, and that person will get a week in Italy to explore the Ferrari factory complex and drive one of the company cars on the Fiorano track. Having been to the Maranello factory ourselves, we can attest that it's a bucket-list item for anyone who truly digs cars.
