Nero (Black) Metallic Exterior with Tan Interior; 22,793 Miles (36,682 km); 5-Speed Manual; Tubi Exhaust; Tons of Records from New; Regular Maintenance; Excellent/Straight Car; Euro Model Imported New in 1984; Full EPA/DOT Papers.

This 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole was imported into the USA when new by the current owner in 1984. All EPA/DOT requirements were sorted properly in 1984. Meticulous records of this process were kept, including all correspondence. A binder with all this information is with the car. The current owner enjoyed and maintained the car until selling it locally in 1994. From 1994-1998, the Ferrari continued to be properly maintained and was treated to a suspension upgrade (Theiler sway bars/bushings & springs), Tubi exhaust, upgraded steering wheel (Momo Corse), and an in-dash Blaupunkt Ventura CD83 stereo. In 1998, the Ferrari was purchased back by Fox Motorsports for the original owner. It has remained under our fastidious care for the original owner ever since. It lives in climate-controlled storage and on a battery trickle charger when not in use. It has never seen salt or snow and has had very few miles put on the car over that past 11 years. 

It is finished in Nero (black) Metallic with a tan interior, a welcome departure from the all too common Rosso Corsa (red). The exterior is excellent, benefitting from annual detailing regardless of miles. A repaint of the front spoiler and fenders was performed in early 1994. The removable ‘GTS’ roof panel is in excellent shape and installs/removes easily and properly. The interior is excellent as well, due to careful owners and regular treatment of the leather. The seats are near new and the controls throughout show very little wear. The only wear of note is around the ignition trim ring, on the rim of the Momo steering wheel, and on the clock’s glass cover.  The power windows, headlights, indicators, driving lights, etc. all function properly.

The 15,000-mile service was performed (including timing belt, etc) in 1994 (12,432 km) at Lake Forest Sports Cars (LFSC) in Illinois. LFSC also documented the replacement of the original speedometer, which had just failed at 12,432 kilometers (included with car). A new speedometer, also in kilometers, was installed and the driver’s doorsill was correctly tagged to reflect that change. In 2003 at 35,316 km (total), a 30,000-mile service, including timing belts and water pump, was performed. Regular maintenance has been done annually by Fox Motorsports (regardless of miles) including: oil, brake fluid, and coolant changes.  A new set of tires were installed in May of 2011 (Bridgestone Potenza SO-2), as the previous tires were over 10 years old.  Included with the Ferrari are books, records, tool kit, jack, warning triangle, spare wheel/tire, and seat covers.

Xcar goes analog with the Ferrari F40

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

We will forever be in love with the Ferrari F40. From its blunt-force appearance to its 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine living and breathing perilously close to the driver's head, the F40, the last model designed and built with input from Enzo Ferrari himself, has been and likely always will be the Ferrari of Ferraris for automotive enthusiasts who grew up in the 1980s.
All of this raises an interesting question: is the Ferrari F40 the best supercar of all time? A case can certainly be made, and after watching - and, just as importantly, listening to - all 17 minutes of blood-red Italian glory from Xcar, you're going to have to try long and hard to convince us that anything could be sweeter than this particular Prancing Horse.
Watch the video above, aptly titled Analogue Animal. You owe it to yourself. So go ahead, sit back, turn up your speakers and click play.

Want to buy a worst-in-show-winning Faux Ferrari Fiero?

Mon, Aug 31 2020

UPDATE: This heap sold for $5,001. But don't fret, there are more terrible cars out there for the taking if that's your thing. Today we bring you something truly terrible. It's not just a fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero, it's actually the world's worst fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero. And it's got the award from the Concours d'Lemons to prove it. It's so heinous, in fact, that it has somehow managed to become desirable, at least judging by the bidding history of this bright red affront to Maranello. Powered by a 140-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 engine (covered by an unconvincing and broken fake V12 cover) hooked to an automatic gearbox, this gloriously poor Prancing Horse won't be winning many stoplight drag races. There are bundles of stray wires hanging down from the dashboard, it has high mileage, most of its lights don't work, and it's ugly. Like, really ugly. And to top it off, this Fauxrarri can't currently be registered in its home state of California because it has failed its most recent smog test. Put simply, you're looking at a total piece of junk. But a piece of junk with internet notoriety, having been featured on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage after attending the 2019 Quail Motorsports Gathering — by mistake at first, and then earning a special place next to the porta potties — being the focus of a video series on YouTube and winning the aforementioned ribbon for Worst in Show at Lemons. Somehow, bidding has topped $4,000 at the time of this writing. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Amazing LaFerrari tribute watch more intricate than the real thing [w/video]

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Enzo had no companion watch, but its successor, the Ferrari LaFerrari, does. Created by Hublot "entirely in parallel with the car" and "alongside the Ferrari teams," the MP-05 LaFerrari tribute watch is a similar test of how much gobsmacking gadgetry can be packed into a chassis. The manually-wound watch has 11 barrels set in a spine down the center that work together to provide a 50-day power reserve. So yes, it does need to be wound, but only once every seven weeks.
Hublot says the movement, engineered in-house, has 637 components. It has more pieces than any other movement Hublot has ever designed, and it gets a tourbillon to further showcase the "demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity." The face is sapphire crystal, the case is black PVD titanium and features an open case-back, the strap is rubber with a PVD titanium buckle. Time is told via the barrels to the right of the the spine on the right - it's 10:05 on the watch above. To the left are the barrels displaying the amount of power remaining.
Hublot hasn't disclosed the price, so you know what that means. There will be 50 tribute watches made, each sent in a presentation case wrapped in Schedoni leather and carbon fibre and including the miniature power tool you need to wind the timepiece. You can read all about it in the press release below, and for true watch geeks there's also an in-depth wrists-on video of the MP-05, performed by ABlogtoWatch.com.
