This magnificent rolling work of art and engineering tour de force currently located in Casa Grande, Arizona, is Calspyder's breath-taking recreation of a '1959-'63 Ferr@ri GT 250 C@lifornia Spyder. It was built by Dr. Mike Renucci, PhD.(eng.), who was the former head of Jaguar when it was a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. Completed in late 2010, the car has only 2500 miles and it was previously prominently featured in Kit Car Magazine as the "SUPER SPYDER". It is the most powerful, fast, luxurious, and sophisticated GT that Calspyder has built to date. Any original Ferrari GT 250 Spyder that was built back in the early 1960's is now rightly a museum piece worth millions. Less than 50 are known to still exist. The original version's power plant was a 3.0 L, 240-260 hp, SOHC V-12 engine with down-draft Webers. Despite the beautiful lines penned by Pinninfarina at the time, the original version was not really considered to be a technologically sophisticated vehicle, even when first introduced. The original GT 250 had many significant mechanical limitations if one were to compare it to a contemporary competitor from the same era, such as Jaguar's superlative XKE. The original GT 250 was hampered by a solid live rear axle, a 4-speed NON-synchromesh transmission, 4 wheel drum brakes, and it even had an imprecise worm and sector steering gear. This Super Spyder now for sale is mechanically superior to the original version in every conceivable way, but at only a fraction of the cost. This car is docile when driven judiciously, but it is VERY FAST. During engineering tests conducted in Arizona, it was confirmed that THE SUPER SPYDER WAS FASTER THAN A ZR1 IN THE QUARTER MILE AND TOP END!

The Super Spyder has the following special features:

- VIN 124BS10043340

-560bhp, 427cid, fuel injected, Windsor block, Smeding engine with roller rockers and cam.

-Oversize aluminum racing radiator.

-4 wheel disc brakes.

-Rack and Pinion steering gear.

-Richmond Gear Racing Super 5 speed (with Overdrive).

-2.47 rear gear for ULTRA-HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY CRUISING and 20 mpg on highway.

-Independent rear suspension by C.W.I. with inboard rear discs.

-Bullet proof integrated 9 inch limited slip pumpkin.

-Air conditioned with R-2 coolant and modern Sanden compressor.

-Beautiful wood dash accents.

-True pin drive knock-off wire wheels, including spare which is mounted in the trunk.

-Period correct gauges, including H20 temp, oil pressure, oil temp, voltmeter, fuel, etc.

-Striking medium metallic blue paint. This beautiful color was a period correct option.

-Period correct leather seats and dash.

-Modern retractable seat belts.

-Windshield wipers with washer

-Wilton wool carpets.

-Detailed trunk and engine compartment.

-AM/FM/ CD stereo. (You can understand "the why" when I tell you I've NEVER turned it on!)

-Electric lift antennae.

-Electric lift windows.

-Passenger side glove box

-Perfectly working canvas top.

-Integrated Battery Tender with trunk plug in (all you need is an extension cord)

-Complete, correct, period Ferr@ri and Pinnin badges.

Spring time is approaching and now's the time to get the convertible and enjoy the season. The only reason I'm selling is because we have a Tesla Model S being delivered and we have too many toys for the space available. We've loved this car and want it to go to a great home. Please feel free to email me or call if you have questions or would like to come preview the car. 77O-5 nine 5-four 387. The Odo has stuck at 899 miles however we've put about 2500 total miles on it. Oil was done last month and Transmission Fluid done 3 tanks of gas ago. Serious inquiries only. Seller reserves right to end item early as it is also for sale locally.

Deposit of $1000 is due upon winning auction with balance due before taking delivery of the vehicle. I'm happy to help with coordinating shipping however shipping is the buyers responsibility. I have a couple of recommendations if needed.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO hits record $38 million sale at Bonhams' Monterey auction

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

This weekend's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegrance brings together some of the rarest and most expensive automobiles in the world onto a tiny peninsula in California jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. But this year, there has been one vehicle on everyone's lips - a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. Bonhams put up this incredibly rare Prancing Horse at no reserve for its auction at the Quail Lodge, meaning it could have sold for just a dollar. It didn't though, this ex-Jo Schlesser owned Ferrari sold for a staggering $38.115 million. That makes it the most expensive car ever sold at auction, beating out Bonhams' sale of a Mercedes W196R last year for $29.65 million.
Ferrari only built 39 of these racers, and they have been million-dollar cars for years. One reportedly sold privately for $52 million last year, and one built for Stirling Moss went for $35 million privately in 2012.
While the spectacle of seeing a 250 GTO drive across the auction block with no reserve and then set a record price was certainly amazing, it wasn't the only rare Ferrari up for sale during the evening. Bonhams also handpicked some of the most collectible Ferraris in the world and brought them to the stage. The ten cars included a 1962 250 GT Short-Wheelbase Speciale Aerodinamica that went for $6.875 million, a 1953 250 Mille Miglia Berlinetta driven to racing victory by Phil Hill for $7.26 million and even a 1978 312 T3 Formula One car for $2.31 million. All told, the group of them sold for $65.945 million.

The sunniest Ferrari collection you've ever seen, shot for Forza mag

Sat, 30 Aug 2014

There's a stable of about 40 beautiful prancing horses hiding in a Tennessee garage. These thoroughbreds aren't out to win the next Triple Crown, though. Instead, this is one of the best collections of Ferraris in the world where you would probably least expect it.
Photographer and auto journalist Clint Davis went there to write a story about collector Phil Bachman for the Ferrari-focused Forza magazine, and he took some dazzling photographs to go along with his words. At the same time, he brought along a friend to film their day meeting Bachman and his sublime collection.
Amassing this many sensational vehicles would be amazing anyway, but Bachman takes his Ferrari obsession even further. He prefers to get his cars in yellow and tries to get the last production example of a given model. In fact, he already has a reservation for the final LaFerrari. You can probably figure out in what color. Keep your eyes open here for glimpses of a plethora of vintage beauties, but the star of the show might be a yellow FXX.
