Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Car is used, but in excellent condition, serviced properly and an excellent driver. You may find a very very small stone chip, or scratch (tiny if any) somewhere on the car, but like I said, it's in excellent condition.Paint I would rate at 90%. I mean it looks great, and nobody has ever said anything to the contrary about it, but if you look really really closely, I found one run in the paint, and one imperfection down by the bottom of the door (it probably contacted something like a high curb lightly when the door was opening, as there are no dents).There are no tears in the original leather seats, everything seems to work perfectly, from the electronically adjustable mirrors, to the fog lights, driving lights, high beams, windshield wipers, etc... The only possible problem could be considered the AC, which blows strong, but could use a re-charge (to get it colder)."

Bonus with BUY IT NOW!!!

BUY IT NOW and receive for no additional charge, the 4 original wheels, with like new tires, and 2 extra, very comfortable racing bucket seats that make it easier for people over 6'2 to sit in and drive the car. (I'm 6'1'' and perfectly comfortable with an extra 1.5''s of headroom so I never swapped the seats to the racing buckets which were custom made for the previous owner, out of the best materials).


Moving right along...

1989 Ferrari Testarossa with only 26,6XX (may go up by 20 - 40 before auction end) miles.

This is a beautiful Testarossa in excellent condition that's been serviced properly and driven frequently over the past year with no problems at all.

If you're looking at this car, I don't think I need to go into detail about the specs, power, etc... you should know just how amazing the Testarossa is already, and PLEASE, SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY.

Extra features include:
  • Tubi Exhaust
  • OZ Racing wheels (with Pirelli P-Zero tires with TONS of tread left!)
  • Real Carbon Fiber accents throughout interior
  • Premier Audio complete sound system (CD player, Amp, speakers, tweeters, etc...)
  • Manuals (service, diagnostic, etc... all included)

Title is clear, and in my hands, ready to go.

This cars story:

I bought it with about 24,000 miles in the fall of 2012 from the inventor of LineX spray in bed liners and picked it up from his warehouse outside Atlanta. He is a very wealthy man who has his own Lemans 24 hour race team, service/mechanic crew, race cars (Ferrari's and Porsche's), along with an excellent collection of other automobiles, from Hemi Road Runners, to Lancia Rally cars and more.

The car was fully serviced (major engine out service) by his mechanics for me before I picked it up, and at about 26,000 miles I had it inspected at my local Ferrari mechanic at World Class Auto, who checked everything over, verified the previous service (in case the pictures I have of the car with the engine removed weren't proof enough), and performed a tune up for me, with an oil change, plugs, fuel mapping upgrades, etc...


The ride:

In a word, AMAZING. This car blew my 328GTS away in all aspects, with awesome acceleration, handling, braking, comfort, visibility, and you could argue style as well!

How does she stack up against today's Ferrari's?
Well we brought her to our South Carolina Ferrari Club of America meeting, competed in the Rally to Highlands, and took a VERY respectable third place out of a dozen competitors, beating out guys who were driving: 458 Italia, F430, 360, 328GTS, and more. So don't think that this 24 year old collectible car is just for show, she can hang with the absolute best of them, her 12 cylinder engine provides massive amounts of torque down low, she has the racing exhaust to boost output to nearly 420HP, and the only limiting factor is usually the size of your cojones.


Attention:

Be ready for it. I'm a single 26 year old, and those prius driving losers who go downtown and take a puppy with them to pick up chicks are always left cleaning poop off the sidewalk as I drive off with the girls of their dreams.

That Asian chick in a couple of the photos modeled for Hollister, now as you can see, she models for me free of charge ;)

No joke, the first time I took this car downtown I came home about 5 minutes later with two girls sitting on top of each other in the passenger seat. Road tripping? I've cruised to Charlotte, into the mountains, and down to the ocean in this car, it's comfortable, and gets almost 20mpg when cruising at low rpm in top gear on the highway (say 90-95 mph-ish, most other times, expect roughly 15-17mpg, if you keep track of silly things like that), and your basically the star of the road the entire drive.

People can't help but stare and smile, thumbs up seem to come at you from all angles, and hotel valets just let you park right in front.


Reason for selling:

I'm moving myself, my best friend/employee, and my largest company back to Las Vegas NV before the end of the year, and I've just got way too many toys. Moving them all would be a huge pain in the butt, and I just don't have the time, or space at the moment.

I'm also selling several of my Ducati motorcycles, and I just sold my other Ferrari, a 328GTS with a 288GTO conversion kit to an existing Ferrari owner who was quite happy with the car he received from me (you've got nothing to worry about).


Condition:

Car is used, but in excellent condition, serviced properly and an excellent driver. You may find a very very small stone chip, or scratch (tiny if any) somewhere on the car, but like I said, it's in excellent condition.

Paint I would rate at 90%. I mean it looks great, and nobody has ever said anything to the contrary about it, but if you look really really closely, I found one run in the paint, and one imperfection down by the bottom of the door (it probably contacted something like a high curb lightly when the door was opening, as there are no dents).

There are no tears in the original leather seats, the original Ferrari floormats look like as though they are brand new, and everything seems to work perfectly, from the electronically adjustable mirrors, to the fog lights, driving lights, high beams, windshield wipers, parking brake, etc... The only possible problem could be considered the AC, which blows strong, but could use a re-charge (to get it colder).



Shipping, is obviously the buyers responsibility, but it's less expensive than you may have thought, feel free to check Montway auto shippers (they usually have the best rates and times - only cost $750 to ship my last Ferrari to Boston, and it was picked up 1 day after I called to schedule, and delivered 2 days after pick up!).

However, this car is GREAT!!!   You can simply fly into GSP (greenville spartanburg airport), I'll pick you up you can drive her home to any part of this country problem free. Enjoy the road trip on the way home, it will be fun.

Maserati Levante could get a V8 to battle the Cayenne Turbo

Tue, Apr 19 2016

Maserati's new Levante crossover is based on the platform shared by the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans. The Quattroporte's top engine is a 523-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8. When asked if that engine would fit in the Levante, a Maserati engineer gave the answer we were hoping to hear almost immediately. "Yes, it fits, and we have a prototype already," said Davide Danesin, the head of Maserati vehicle programs. The Levante will launch with two models, both of which use the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that Ferrari builds for Maserati, but in two different tunes. The first generation of the V6 launched in the Ghibli and Quattroporte. While the V8 is only currently used in the rear-drive Quattroporte GTS, Danesin assures us that packaging the V8 and an all-wheel-drive system works. There is that prototype, after all. The fact that Danesin volunteered that a V8 prototype exists leads us to believe it's being very seriously considered, since manufacturers reluctantly acknowledge that there will even be a future, let alone one that will bring new, as-yet-unannounced products. Maserati officials caution that it may be tough to make a case for such a vehicle, however, as the over-500-hp SUV segment is pretty small, at about 12,000 units per year by their estimates. It's also relatively crowded, with the logical bogeys being the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (520 hp) and Turbo S (570 hp) and the Range Rover Sport SVR (550 hp). None of them will touch the Levante's upcoming American cousin, the Hellcat-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, but that's cool. View 21 Photos We'd guess that the yay/nay on a V8 Levante will hinge on the overall popularity of the new model as well as the mix of 345-hp Levante versus 424-hp Levante S models once customers start ordering. Which is to say, if you think you'll want a V8 Levante eventually, get out there and buy a few Levante S models when they hit dealers this October. In other Maserati powertrain news, we're told the second-generation V6, which makes 20 more horsepower in its angriest tune and debuts in the Levante, will show up in the Ghibli and Quattroporte "soon." We'd peg that at mid-cycle refresh time, which should be in a year or so. The second-gen V6 gets its extra power from re-profiled camshafts, some redesign work on the heads, and other tweaks, likely in software. Oh, and for more on the first Maserati crossover and that updated engine, watch for our first drive of the twin-turbo V6 Levante very soon.

$8.8m '58 Ferrari 250 GT California Spider highlights RM's Arizona auction

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

All manner of vehicles change hands at the annual auction extravaganza in Arizona, but never has one sold for as much as the Ferrari you see here. The car in question is an (obviously) eminently desirable 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider, one of only 50 ever made and purring onto the stage in flawless red over black livery with matching numbers of the coveted covered headlights straight from the factory.
When we reported on the car's consignment in anticipation of this weekend's sale, it was expected to bring in between $7 and 9 million - and it's done just that, coming in near the top of its valuation with a winning bid of $8.8 million. That makes for a lot of zeros, but while it set a new record for the Arizona auctions, it hardly makes it the most expensive in the world. That honor still belongs to the Mercedes-Benz W196 that sold last summer for nearly $30 million. Nor is it the most expensive Ferrari ever sold at auction, an honor which still belongs to the 250 Testa Rossa that sold for over $16 million in 2011. Heck, it's not even the most expensive 250 California ever sold, coming in behind the SWB example that sold for nearly $11 million in 2008. All of which only goes to show just how insane the collector classic car market has grown in recent years.
The California was undeniably the highlight of RM's two-day sale, but was joined by several other seven-dollar lots, including a 1961 Porsche 718 ($2.75 million), a Ferrari 250 GT Lusso ($2.44 million), a Duesenberg Model J convertible ($2.2 million) and several other million-dollar Ferraris, Mercedes and a '35 Hispano-Suiza. A 1961 Chaparral 1 failed to reach its reserve price despite a high bid of $1.75 million, neither did a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 at $1.18 million or a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 at $2.85 million. RM Auctions did, however, manage to sell 85 percent of those lots consigned to bring in a massive two-day total of $45.56 million in sales, details of which you can read in the press release below.

Stellantis reports record margins, $7B profits despite chip shortage

Tue, Aug 3 2021

MILAN — Automaker Stellantis on Tuesday said it achieved faster-than-expected progress on synergies and record margins in its first six months as a combined company, despite suffering 700,000 units in lower production due to interruptions in the semiconductor supply chain. The company — formed from French carmaker Peugeot PSAÂ’s takeover of the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler — reported net profit of 5.9 billion euros ($7 billion) in the first half of 2021, compared with a loss 813 million euros during the same period a year earlier, which was impacted by the coronavirus restrictions around the globe. Shipments rose 44% to 3.2 million units, while revenues rose 46% to 75 billion euros. “We are very pleased with the speed with which the new team has begun to execute as one company, as Stellantis,Â’Â’ Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer told reporters. Semiconductor shortages accounted for 200,000 units of production losses in the first quarter and 500,000 in the second quarter. Semiconductors are used more than ever before in new vehicles with electronic features such as Bluetooth connectivity and driver assist, navigation and hybrid electric systems. Stellantis achieved 1.3 billion euros in cost savings in the first half, mostly by sharing investments in new technologies and platforms, which Palmer said was a faster rate than initially forecast. It aims to achieve 80% of the targeted 5 billion in cost savings by 2024. “These synergies allow us to continue to invest in the electrification strategy, which we talk about every day,” Palmer said. Stellantis, which lags competitors in rolling out electric vehicles, plans to launch 21 fully electric or plug-in gas electric hybrid vehicles over the next two years. North American posted record profitability on global sales of Ram trucks and the strong launch of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which was the best-selling plug-in gas electric vehicle in the United States in the second quarter. Stellantis was the market leader in South America and second in Europe. The results were presented on a pro-forma basis, taking into account the performance of each of the carmakers as separate entities during 2020.
