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:

If you have a ZERO feedback account on eBay but are a serious buyer, please contact me first before placing your bid or else it will be cancelled.

There are zero feedback "buyers" with no intentions of actually making a purchase; probably someone selling a similar car who wants to take mine off the market so there is less competition.

If the winner of the auction has a zero feedback history, I will offer the car to the second placed bidder.

On another note: please read the ad carefully. The car needs to have the timing belt done. It is not fully drivable. 

Thanks and happy bidding.


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 LaFerrari Spider reportedly debuts privately

Mon, Mar 7 2016

If the Porsche 918 Spyder didn't fulfill your dream of open top motoring in a hybrid hypercar, look for Ferrari to publicly debut a topless version of the LaFerrari (standard version above) in the near future. The Facebook page for Automotive Passion (D. Benoit) asserts the LaFerrari Spider is finally on the way and backs up the claim with a photo of a carbon-fiber box that bears the vehicle's sharp silhouette (below). Motor1 claims that Ferrari plans to build 150 to 200 examples of the LaFerrari Spider, which is less than half of the 499 coupes, and customers already snapped them all up. The Prancing Horse is reportedly charging a hefty premium over the hardtop's $1.4-million price tag for the droptop. Given the coupe's sales success, we are surprised Ferrari didn't take the LaFerrari's roof off even sooner, and rumors about the Spider go back to at least 2014. The removable top might add a few pounds, but the 949-horsepower 6.3-liter hybrid V12 should still be plenty to hustle the hypercar around. Ferrari debuted the LaFerrari Spider at a private event, according to Motor1. Showing the hypercar suggests development in nearing completion, so expect a public debut and official info sometime this year.

Mick Schumacher in F1 Ferrari test scores second-fastest lap at Bahrain

Tue, Apr 2 2019

MANAMA, Bahrain — Mick Schumacher, son of seven-times world champion Michael, made his Formula One test debut for Ferrari in Bahrain on Tuesday and lapped second fastest behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen. On a surprisingly wet day at the same track where his father won the first grand prix in the Middle East with Ferrari 15 years ago, Schumacher was 0.597 seconds slower than the 21-year-old Dutchman. His time of 1 minute 29.976 seconds was set on the softest, and fastest, C5 tires — softer than anyone else's — and he completed 56 laps on a day where track time was limited by bad weather washing out much of the middle of the day. "I really enjoyed today. It felt like home in the garage from the very first moment with a lot of people that know me since I was very young," he said. The 20-year-old German, who made his Formula Two debut at the Sakhir circuit over the weekend and finished eighth and sixth in the two races, had been top with five minutes remaining before Verstappen went faster. It was still the first time since 2012 that a Schumacher had led an official Formula One time chart. "The SF90 is incredible because of the power it has, but it is also smooth to drive, and that's why I enjoyed myself so much," said Schumacher. "I was impressed by the braking power an F1 car has. It seemed to me you could brake later and later and the car would have made the turn anyway." The reigning European F3 champion will also test with the Ferrari-powered Alfa Romeo team (formerly Sauber) on Wednesday. Tuesday's test was Mick's first experience of a modern F1 car, although he did drive his father's 1994 title-winning Benetton at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit before the 2017 Belgian Grand Prix. Michael Schumacher, who still holds the record of 91 grand prix wins, won five of his titles with Ferrari in a golden period from 2000 to 2004. He last raced for the team in 2006 before a comeback with Mercedes from 2010-12 and has not been seen in public since he suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013. Mick, who joined the Ferrari academy in January, was the only debutant on track in a rain-hit session that followed Sunday's second grand prix of the season. Lewis Hamilton, Sunday's race winner for Mercedes after Ferrari's Charles Leclerc suffered a late engine problem, was sixth fastest.

Photographer streaks Ferrari California T in glow-in-the-dark paint

Mon, Apr 13 2015

Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner is known for splashing paint and deconstructing cars to create beautiful and unique images. Like Ferrari, Oefner combines art, design and science in his creations. So he was a natural choice when the automaker began looking for a unique way to introduce the2015 Ferrari California T to the world. After taking the California T for a test drive, Oefner wanted to convey the feeling of the swift 553-horsepower vehicle, according to PetaPixel. Oefner scaled up his past experiments with color and blasted $190,000 the sports car with gallons of UV activated paint. By doing it in a wind tunnel with nothing but UV lights blazing down on the car, he hoped to capture the quickness of the California T while the car itself remained motionless. The resulting video is astonishing. The Ferrari looks as if it's being pulled out of the darkness by brilliant rivers of glowing color. The video, entitled 'The Art of Form', is a beautiful way to highlight the new design of this classic nameplate. This content is hosted by a third party.
