Ferrari 308 Gtsi 1980 on 2040-cars
Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
1980 FERRARI 308 GTSi (Fuel Injected Model)
We are a vehicle export company, located in
the heart of Daytona Beach, Florida , USA, Racing Capital;-). We acquired this
Ferrari from a client who had an overdue pending/delinquent payment owed to us. It was supposed to have been exported to
Brazil two years ago. The car has since been parked in our warehouse for almost
2 years. Once we took possession of the vehicle, we
sent it over to our mechanic (who is NOT a Ferrari expert) and he told us we
would have to spend between $5,000.00 to $15,000.00 for timing belt service etc...
It's crazy. For that reason we were thinking to swap the original engine for
something more modern, faster, etc. That classic Ferrari body with a Corvette
LS Serie or a Hayabusa turbo engine… this would make it a good option for the
South American track-day market…Believe or not. I know it's a Ferrari, but its original engine
isn't exactly the most up-to-date in "fast technology". Definitely
not.... lol... To sell this car in parts would be the best
option to receive the most money out of it. But unfortunately we don't have
time for that. We are located in Florida, but we don't work with car sales in
the USA market, especially parts wise. To sell the car in a whole is not the best
option for us money-wise, but it is a whole lot easier. Maybe this would be ideal for someone with
connections for cheaper service... or even to sell as/for parts. We don't know the exact cost of service needed
for the timing belt. Could be anywhere from 5, 10 or 15 thousand… If the car is not sold in this auction,
we will go back to our crazy "affordable Ferrari" race car
project.....When life gives you lemons…you get it. Pictures of the Ferrari are attached. Please,
look at all the pictures. The car has a very nice solid body, with all
original parts including the 04 wheels, central console controls, Top, ID tags,
etc… It's a NO RESERVE auction. The highest bidder
will take it home. SOLD AS IS Thank you and happy bidding! On Feb-04-14 at 23:05:06 PST, seller added the following information:
On Feb-05-14 at 00:11:39 PST, seller added the following information: Also, please note the car is 30 years old and has been sitting for 2 years. The key turns, it starts up badly but surely, but will cut
off eventually and can be started again. When I accelerate, I hear a fluttering noise. Feels like a Engine misfire. It sounds like an incomplete combustion in the engine cylinder. *No problems with Gears, Clutch(transmission), Brakes. *No problems with window motors, radio, headlight motors, ac(not sure) *The car has never been in a wreck and the previous owner said the paint is original. I don't know how to verify if it's true or not but it looks good. |

Ferrari shows California with unique upholstery at Goodwood
Fri, Jun 26 2015Order up a new Ferrari and you can get it just about any way you want it. That's what the company's Tailor Made program is all about. And it's showcasing some of the possibilities at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend with the unique cabrio you see here. This one-of-a-kind Ferrari California T has been done up in a special blue and white livery. Its three-layer Bianco Italia paintjob is overlaid with a pair of offset blue stripes, complimented by a set of 20-inch alloys in blue and silver. The interior is similarly done up in blue and white, but it's the material with which that's done that's the most interesting bit. Maranello has upholstered and trimmed the interior of this particular California with a new high-tech material called Mycro Prestige. It's less than a millimeter thick and weighs only a third of what the leather would, but it's flameproof and water resistant while being porous and breathable. Sort of like Alcantara, but more advanced. Of course these are only some of the options Ferrari can offer through its Tailor Made program. Clients are set up with their own personal designer who'll walk them through the endless choices available through three collections, dubbed Scuderia, Classica and Inedita, the latter offering the most out-there choices. So if what you really want is a Prancing Horse swathed in cashmere or denim, Ferrari will be only too glad to oblige your open checkbook.

Ferrari will be showcasing a very special "Tailor Made" California T at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, inspired by the passion and colours of Polo and Horse racing. The California T encapsulates the ethos of personalisation, with a Bianco Italia three-layer exterior with a double-asymmetric stripe in Blu Hellen mirrored by a sumptuous Blu Sterling interior with Bianco elements and highlights. The car is finished off with 20" forged wheels which have been painted in Blu Hellen and Argento Nurburgring. This particular California T showcases a new high-tech "Mycro Prestige" fabric material that has been specifically made exclusively for Ferrari. Mycro Prestige is a highly resistant material that offers an exceptional level of grip, and, thanks to its unique mixture of fibres which are only 0.7mm thick, it is only one-third the weight of traditional leather.
Marchionne takes total control of Ferrari as CEO and chairman
Mon, May 2 2016Ferrari is undergoing another changing of the guard as Amedeo Felisa retires from his longtime role as CEO. In his place, Sergio Marchionne will add the job to his absurd list of responsibilities. An engineer by training, Felisa has been with the company for 26 years, and some form of Fiat for nearly 50, having come to Maranello in 1990 after two decades at Alfa Romeo. He took charge of Ferrari's road-car division in 2001, was named general manager in 2006, and got the CEO job in 2008 after Jean Todt left to run for president of the FIA. Felisa's role as chief executive was seen as all the more important after Luca di Montezemolo was shown the door. Rumors persisted recently that Felisa was on his way out. With Felisa gone, Marchionne will be left running the company more directly than he has been as chairman for the past two years since supplanting Montezemolo. As it is, Marchionne serves as CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, chairman of CNH Industrial (the merged entity of Fiat Industrial and Case New Holland), and directly runs the NAFTA region for FCA, splitting his time between offices in Detroit, Turin, and Maranello. We wouldn't be surprised, then, to see Ferrari name a new CEO, or at least a senior manager to run the day to day and take some of the pressure off Marchionne, as adept as he's proven at wearing multiple hats. The company is in the process of reforming itself as a corporate entity separate from FCA, positioned more as a luxury brand, and is seeking to rediscover its former winning form on the racetrack. In the meantime, while Felisa steps down with immediate effect, he will remain on the board – his term having recently been renewed – as a technical advisor, just as Todt did before him.

("Ferrari" or "Company") (NYSE/MTA: RACE) announces the retirement of its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Amedeo Felisa, after 26 years of dedicated service. Mr. Sergio Marchionne will assume those responsibilities while retaining his current role as Chairman of the Company. Mr. Felisa will continue to serve on the Board of Directors of Ferrari with a specific mandate as technical advisor to the Company. Sergio Marchionne had this to say: "I have known Amedeo for more than a decade and I have had the opportunity to work with him closely for the last two years. He is beyond any doubt one of the best automotive engineers in the world.
Ferrari vs. Ferrari: Cut convertibles unloved by collectors?
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The New York Times' Wheels blog has a really interesting story on a pair of Ferraris that are set to be auctioned off in Monterey during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. While the two cars are similar on the surface, their differing histories and Ferrari's attitude towards one of them has led to a sort of experimental auction process.
On the one hand, we have one of ten 1967 275 GTB/4 NART Spiders, in the classic Rosso Corsa and appearing at RM Auctions and seen above. On the other, we have a Fly Yellow version that started life as a 1965 275 GTB Coupe, and was converted into a NART Spider. Called a "cut" car, this particular replica is one of about 100 GTB Coupes that were converted into convertibles to satiate the climbing demand for ultra-rare Spiders.
This will mark one of the first times that an original NART Spider will go toe to toe with a replica of itself at auction, and will answer a number of questions about just how important provenance is in the collector car world. Head on over to The Times blog for the full story.
