1985 Ferrari 3078 GTS
VIN: ZFFLA13B000057375
Up for sale is my 1985 Ferrari GTS Targa, starts and runs perfectly, service records which date back to 2002, present mileage is 44223, garaged, 3 owner car since new, southern car for most of its life, no corrosion or rust or anything of the sort. Engine is strong with excellent oil pressure, starts after a few seconds of turning the ignition key, no smoke, no strange noises, runs cool, no mechanical issues, dry underneath, not leaking any oil. Clutch and transmission are super smooth, car shifts through all the gears cleanly, all synchros are excellent; reverse is perfect as well. No mechanical issues or problems!! All fluids look clean and recently changed. The weels are very clean with no curb rash and the tires are 100%. Brakes stop the car on a dime and rotors are clean. Car "tracks" straight as you drive it and does not pull. The car just passed NC safety inspection which is a safety only inspection, i.e., lights, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, glass, windshield wipers, etc. It passed perfectly with no issues.
We had to list the VIN like this because Ebay wouldn't take it. If you look at other 1985 Ferrari 308s on Ebay they had to do it the same way. The car history (Autocheck) is clean. It shows that it is a 3 owner car, no accidents reported, Autocheck Assured, and that the "Vehicle Checks Out".
Paint looks very good and is clean. There are some stone chips have been touched up on the lower front valence which is understandable (this is the way we purchased the car). Paint is very presentable and passable. It is not a 100 point show car but it looks darn good, if I may say so. There is one spot on the hood where someone pushed down on the hood to lower it and did not do it properly and there is a slight crease in the hood (see picture). I mention this because I want you to know as much as I know about the car.
Interior is original and the seats are in very good condition with respect to the year. The leather does show some minor cracking throughout; there are no holes or tears. Carpets are very clean with no stains and the door panels are excellent; dash is perfect with no cracks; targa top is in very good condition with no chips nor damage to any part.
Here is a video of the car at idle:

Race recap: 2015 Singapore Grand Prix full of odd sideshows
Mon, Sep 21 2015What greeted the Formula One teams in Singapore? Confusion. The haze was so thick that observers wondered if the race would be held at all. Then practices began, and Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg took the first one, but the team fell away after that. Mercedes said it couldn't get the tires turned on, but no one believed the Silver Arrows was in genuine trouble. Then qualifying set the confusion in stone. Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel laid down the best time in Q3, taking the team's first pole position since Germany in 2012. Daniel Ricciardo got his Infiniti Red Bull Racing into second, about one tenth behind Vettel. (That may make the team feel better after Ricciardo publicly asked for a better engine than the current Renault unit, and team advisor Helmut Marko said the outfit will quit F1 at the end of this year if it can't get a stronger powerplant for 2016.) Kimi Raikkonen put the second Ferrari in third, Daniil Kvyat put the second Red Bull in fourth. And only then came the Meredes'. Lewis Hamilton's best got him fifth, the Brit saying, "We don't really know what we have got wrong. For some reason the tires are not working on the car. We do the warm-up the same as everyone else and then you see someone one second up the road." For added emphasis on the reversal of fortune, his time was 1.6 seconds behind Vettel's. Teammate Rosberg is next to him in sixth, a further half a second back. Williams is still a hurting a bit on slow tracks, so Valtteri Bottas could only get into seventh ahead of Max Verstappen in the Toro Rosso and teammate Felipe Massa in ninth. When the red lights went out, the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix would get both less interesting and more interesting all the way to the final lap. The men up front got good getaways, and the order into Turn 1 was Vettel, Ricciardo, and Raikkonen. The race finished with those three in that order, never having conceded position. Vettel's Ferrari enjoyed the track so much that he laid a second per lap into Ricciardo for the first five, then relaxed. He'd let the gap come down later in the race a couple of times, but any time he wanted to see what his mirrors looked like without anyone in them he'd take off again. Rosberg took fourth position after holding down sixth for the first stint. It looked like he'd have an even worse day - for a Mercedes driver - when he had problems getting his car started and onto the grid before the race.
Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
Ferrari recalls 458 Italia because its trunk is a dangerous place to stow kids
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Ferrari is recalling 3,000 458 Italia and Spider models and, believe it or not, it's not because they may catch fire. Nope, instead, the issue focuses on anyone that's unfortunate enough to become trapped in the Ferrari's perilously small frunk (front-mounted trunk).
Apparently, should someone find themselves trapped in the car's nose, the interior release handle only lets loose one of frunk's latches. That means that while anyone held captive by the V8-powered supercar won't be in danger of suffocating and will still be able to call for help, the cars are still ultimately in violation of federal safety mandates.
According to Uncle Sam, should someone become trapped in a trunk, like a child, they must be able to open the trunk from the inside and escape. That can't happen in the 458.
