were on the car when purchased in 1985 and were either a special factory order
or installed by the original owner. Michelin
Hydro-Edge P195/70R-14 tires were mounted in March of 2007 and have
approximately 8000 miles on them now. The wire wheels do have some noticeable rust
on them. Original owner’s manual, tools, jack, Ferrari rain poncho, and service invoices dating from 1985 to present included. In October 2006 there was a complete engine overhaul; new
bearings, new cylinder liners, new stainless steel valves installed, rebuilt
water pump, resurface flywheel, reman clutch, rebuild carbs, reman axles, and
many other parts replaced. New A/C compressor, Dryer, Expansion Valve, and
converted to 134a Freon. Converted to single distributor with MSD 6 electronic
ignition. Replaced shocks. Rebuilt window motors and regulators, restring
window glass. Engine tuned to run on regular gas. Work performed by a Ferrari
mechanic in Dallas, contact information provided upon request. The motor runs
strong and carries good oil pressure. There are a few small oil leaks of
course. The paint is still shiny, with a few small hickeys here and
there and the interior looks good; a very presentable, mechanically sound
driver. A local experienced mechanic has done some work on the car and can
vouch for the current mechanical condition. Contact information on request. I am the third owner of this Ferrari and have had the good
fortune to have enjoyed it since 1985. A high school friend of mine was the
second owner and we drove the car in Arizona and southern California as well as
to Speed Week in Monterey in August several times over an almost 20 year
period. I purchased it from him in 2004 shortly before he passed away. It had
approximately 13,500 miles at that time and had been sitting for some time;
that is why the engine overhaul was done. It has approximately 24,500 miles
now. Unfortunately for me getting in and out of the car is becoming problematic
so I must find it a new, more limber owner. |

LaFerrari XX may have lapped N?rburgring in 6:35
Wed, 23 Apr 2014Enthusiasts around the world - ourselves included - have been anxiously awaiting the ultimate supercar showdown. After all, we seldom see three of the world's preeminent exotic automakers come out with such closely matched machinery in such close proximity as we have with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari. That showdown could occur on no better a playing field than the Nürburgring, but the automakers haven't exactly been playing ball.
Porsche set down a lap time of 6:57, staking its claim as the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the vaunted Nordschleife. Rather than challenge Zuffenhausen head-on, though, McLaren has only said that the P1 has clocked a time of under seven minutes, and though Ferrari has been testing the new LaFerrari at the Ring, it hasn't released any official time at all. Maranello may, however, be preparing to announce an even faster time.
According to word we're receiving from across the pond, Ferrari has clocked a lap time of 6:35 - only it wasn't achieved in the road-going LaFerrari, but in the upcoming track-bound LaFerrari XX. That model, which was just confirmed and spied last week, will follow in the footsteps of the Enzo-based FXX and the 599XX, which itself recorded a lap time of 6:58 in 2010. Because it's not street-legal, it didn't contend for the same honors, and within a couple of months was pipped on the leaderboard for non-street-legal vehicles by the Pagani Zonda R by over ten seconds.
Jay Leno's Dodge Challenger raises $585k for USO in Scottsdale
Mon, Jan 19 2015Of all the metal moved in Scottsdale, AZ, this holiday weekend, the one you see here was hardly the most expensive. But it's noteworthy for another reason: despite being a relatively humble, second-hand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, raised an impressive $565,625. That's because, first of all, it belonged to Jay Leno, and secondly because the proceeds were going to the USO. Leno donated the modern muscle car from his collection to benefit our men and women in uniform, and was on hand to present the car on stage at the Gooding & Company auction, along with USO president J.D. Crouch II and former Army chief of staff General George W. Casey, Jr. After frenzied and patriotic bidding, the gavel ultimately dropped at $360,000, accompanied by over $200,000 in additional contributions, bringing the total amount donated to the USO to over half a million. Commendable though it was, of course the Challenger didn't garner the highest bids at the auction. A 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $7.7 million and a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS fetched $2.4 million. A rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico sold for over $4,070,000 – which, according to Sports Car Market, is the most ever paid at auction for a 400 Superamerica. And a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 also sold for a record $1.98 million.

Ferrari takes over Rodeo Drive to introduce F60 America
Sun, 12 Oct 2014Unless you own a very special Ferrari, the only way you were going to park on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills today was to walk there and sit down on a bench. Otherwise, occupying the length of the plutomaniac's thoroughfare was everything from a 1948 166 MM Barchetta, the very first Ferrari imported to the United States, to the brand new 458 Speciale A, introduced at the Paris Motor Show earlier this month. A collection of 60 significant Ferraris were on display to celebrate the marque's 60th anniversary as a US citizen, and it was the most impressive gathering of Italian metal we've seen since the company threw its 50th anniversary event at Pebble Beach a decade ago. How about a Le Mans class-winning 250 GTO, the 1954 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe that won best of show at Pebble Beach back in August, or one of the stunning 330 P4 race cars that was part of the 1-2-3 finish at Daytona in 1967? All parked on Rodeo Drive.
The special-est of them all received an introduction from new company chairman Sergio Marchionne, that being the F60 America. Only for the US, with all ten of them already sold for a reported $2.5M each, the F60 America reaches back to early America-branded offerings like the 340 and 375, and US-focused convertibles like the 1967 275 NART Spider, 1969 365 GTS4 Daytona Spider and 2005 575 Superamerica.
Unlike those Spiders, however, the F60 America is a voluptuous departure from the F12 Berlinetta it's based on, with the subtracted top opening up the flex of its hips, pairing nicely with the swell over the front fenders. As we told our photographer Drew Phillips, we're looking at the future of Pebble Beach, and you can enjoy it in the photos above or the rest of the Ferraris on display in the gallery below.
