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. |

Forza Horizon G-Shock Car Pack brings Nissan IDx, Subaru Brat [w/video]
Tue, Jan 6 2015With winter's icy grip around much of the nation, now may be the perfect time to sit inside at night and enjoy some video games. The latest six-car G-Shock pack for Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox One is now here, and it gives players a very eclectic group of vehicles to race around the game's open world. This month's group of vehicles spans the decades ranging from 2015 back to 1953. The newest and only concept of the group is the 2015 Nissan IDX Nismo. Since the production chances for this retro coupe look increasingly slim, this game might be your only chance to get behind the concept's wheel. However, if you prefer driving something a bit more classic and Italian, the 1953 Ferrari 500 Mondial is available. To add one more flavor of performance, there is the 2010 Mazda Mazdasped 3 hot hatch, which is also this month's free car for download. In addition to three takes on the sports car, Turn 10 is also offering a trio of off-roaders. The quirkiest among them is the 1980 Subaru Brat GL, which features two jump seats in the back to avoid the dreaded chicken tax. If you prefer something more boxy and American, then the 1975 Ford Bronco is sure to please. Finally, for some real power to get through the mud, there's the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as tuned by Shelby with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 575 horsepower. As usual, the whole pack costs players $5 to download, or it's free as part of the season pass. Scroll down for a brief video showing all of these virtual rides off and read the press release about them from Turn 10 Studios. This content is hosted by a third party.

Are you ready to hit the roads of "Forza Horizon 2" for Xbox One in some new rides? You better be because the G-Shock Car Pack is lighting up the new year with some amazing vehicles. Leading off the pack is a "Forza" First: the 2015 Nissan IDx NISMO is making its videogame debut in "Forza Horizon 2." The IDx prototype harkens back to Nissan's storied automotive history, with its compact size and aggressive appearance, and looks to the future with some serious under-the-hood performance. Take a spin in this gem, and you will be startled by its performance and charmed by its presence. The remaining cars of the pack also have "Horizon Festival" written all over them.
Ferrari to launch new model every year, keep production limited
Tue, 06 May 2014You've no doubt perused the big news coming out of Fiat-Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI today. But at the end of the brand discussions, Sergio Marchionne spoke briefly about an incredibly important, low-volume part of the Fiat-Chrysler empire: Ferrari.
"You do need one of these cars in your driveway," Marchionne joked. And while other brand heads today lined out detailed plans for future product, Sergio's words about Ferrari's next five years were very simple, and very vague.
Marchionne confirmed that Ferrari will launch a new car every year between now and 2018. The cars will have a four-year lifecycle, after which, "M" versions will be produced, with a separate four-year cadence. No specific models were mentioned during Marchionne's presentation.
These are two Ferrari design studies that led to the LaFerrari
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Ferrari apparently worked through nine design concepts for its LaFerrari supercar recently shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and has put two of them on display at its museum in Maranello, Italy. Both from 2011, the Manta (pictured) is harder edged and looks closest to the finished product.
The other, the Tensostruttura, is much more fluid and looks like it probably came from the past or the future, not so much the present. You can check them both out in the videos below and register your take on what might have been.
