1996 FERRARI F355 STRETCHED KIT CAR Please read the entire ad before bidding. this is a project, see details below: I have a very cool project which I must regrettably pass on to someone else. I have aspired to build this car for some years now as a Father son project. However we simply haven't had the time. Now I have graduated from college and am starting my own business which consumes all of my time. With some work this could be one of the coolest cars around. (no reserve auction) This is not your average Fiero Kit car. Currently Titled/Registered in Vermont as a custom car titled "Ferro Specco" VIN# AZ-393299 which is hard to have done and is extremely important so you don't get pulled over every time you have your plate run by the Police and it comes up as a Fiero. This car is Registered and has its own custom Vin number issued by the state of Arizona. You will not require a custom vehicle safety inspection, simple as registering any other car. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The car is built on, I believe an 88' Fiero and has been heavily modified. Custom stretch to match the Ferrari F355 wheelbase, the suspension has also been modified extensively and widened which is usually accomplished with giant spacers (dangerous and looks very cheap) with these kits. (there are thin spacers to get the wheel spacing just right) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You will notice the wheel gaps on my kit are perfect thanks to the custom suspension and adjustable coilovers. Most kits look like monster trucks. Keep in mind all this work was safety inspected in Arizona. Now for the fun stuff, the car is customized for a high output 4.6L Cadillac Northstar V8 Motor, the Northstar motor currently in the car is seized. (however the car did run at one time some years ago) It is paired up to a GM automatic transmission. However the donor fiero was originally a stick shift car so with an adaptor plate you could switch back to a manual transmission rather easily during the engine swap. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am including a 1997 Cadillac Deville that runs perfectly with 42,000 miles which is the donor car I bought for this project. (owned by an older lady) I planned on using the Cadillac wiring harness to wire the kit car, engine, cluster, windows, lights etc. Just because I don't know exactly what the previous owners did wiring wise. The swap is pretty easy as it drops down from underneath with a cradle holding it up. All the engine mounts are there as far as the mechanicals go this will be like a plug and play engine swap. With a few bolt-ons this motor will easily make 300HP (This is a no title car, bill of sale only) (as a side note the car has developed sticky power steering from sitting, a common problem for this model, it turns freely turning left, but turning right is as if the car had no power steering. i haven't addressed the issue as it has nothing to do with the engine swap. and it still drives perfectly fine. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am also including a 1985 4 cylinder 5 speed Pontiac Fiero that does not run but will likely be useful in finishing up this build. (this is also no title, Bill of sale only) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have various manuals for the Fiero, Cadillac Northstar engine as well as the original build manual provided by the kit manufacturerThe exhaust is an OEM Ferrari 355 exhaust, The plumbing for the radiators in the front etc is probably still usable I would just double check everything. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The fiberglass kit is one of the highest quality kits available. Made by Air Dynamics the gel coated panels alone cost $8000. It also has an Interior kit with door cards dash tunnel etc. They were covered in black faux leather some time ago and could probably still be used as is, or easily rewrapped for desired color. They are in place, in the car but have not been fully installed Just installed brand new Windshield. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Things off the top of my head that the car needs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ----The car currently does not have seats in it. I was planning on going for a racing look and was planning to buy racing seats. ----The rims are Ferrari replica wheels, and the the chrome is beginning to bubble up on the inside of the wheel, I was going to sandblast and powdercoat them. ----Miner cosmetic fiberglass work. Over the years stress cracks have developed in a few places, these will need to be filled in before paint.
----Mirrors ( these pop up on ebay for a couple hundred bucks every once in a while. I believe a certain generation of corvette mirrors look very similar) ----headlight motors/assembly (saturn lights will work with minor modification) I was going to modify them and delete the pop ups to give the car an updated look (see attached pic of red ferrari for reference) also one foglight is missing, these are off the shelf 3" foglights. ----taillight lenses. (Chevy HHR lights look nearly identical, or you can get the real ones for $400- $600) ----Door handle situation needs some work. (generally people employ door poppers here) ----Engine swap/miscellaneous wiring ----Paint job after work is completed. ----Tires are dry rotted but hold air. ----Front blinker lenses. (If I remember correctly, lenses from a camry can be modified slightly to fit.) ----Cluster ( I was going to modify the digital Cadillac cluster to work as it is already designed to work with the ECU) should be pretty easy and will look great! ----Some kind of engine bay prop, the decklid is pretty heavy, I was going to find a standard hood prop from another car, or just use the one from the parts fiero. ----Headliner and area around rear window, I was going to use 3M super 77 and some black pleather. ----seatbelts, The seatbelts are still in the car but are cruddy. I was planning to get 4 or 5 point harnesses. ----Other odd and ends, this is a project. If you have specific questions, or would like to see the car in person please contact me. (The car, and the donor cars are located on Federal Hill in Providence RI) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is a no reserve auction.

Ferrari 250 California record headlines $28.5M Baillon barnfind collection
Mon, Feb 9 2015Barn finds arise from time to time, bearing undiscovered treasures hidden away in some shed for decades before being unearthed and brought to the auction block. But few have ever compared to the Baillon Collection. And now its liquidation is complete, bringing in millions in sales on the back of frenzied bidding. Discovered just months ago, the Baillon Collection comprised some 100 vehicles said to have been rescued from the crusher by one Roger Baillon, a French transport magnate who intended to eventually put the cars on display in a museum. Unfortunately that never came to pass, but when the cars were found in sheds on his estate in rural France, the world took notice. In dire condition and in need of much TLC, 59 of the cars (those worth selling) were consigned to the auctioneers at Artcurial, which just handled their sale during the Retromobile classic car show this weekend in Paris. The highest price was fetched by a rare 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider with the highly desirable covered headlights found in the barn under a pile of old magazines. One of just 37 made, the drop-top Prancing Horse sold to an unnamed international collector for a record $18.5 million – far above initial estimates and, despite its condition, the most ever paid for a 250 GT of any kind. An American collector paid $2.2 million for the 1956 Maserati A6G bodied by Frua, also well above its pre-sale estimate range. A '49 Talbot-Lago T26 bodied by Saoutchik more than doubled even the top of its estimated value at $1.9 million, sold to a European collector. All told, the Baillon Collection brought in a staggering $28.5 million in sales, comprising over half the value of the lots, 89 percent of which Artcurial sold at the Retromobile auction.
Heads continue to roll at Scuderia Ferrari
Fri, Dec 19 2014It's a year of restructuring at Ferrari – especially when it comes to the Formula One department. Dissatisfied with the team's performance of late, parent company Fiat fired Ferrari's chairman, replaced its team principal twice and brought in another multiple world champion to replace the one it already had. But that's not the end of it. Under the direction of new chairman Sergio Marchionne and team principal Maurizio Arrivabene, the Maranello-based outfit is undergoing a purge in its ranks. Ferrari has fired its veteran engineering director Pat Fry (pictured above at left), its chief designer Nicolas Tombazis (center) and its tire guru Hirohide Hamashima (whom the team picked up shortly after Bridgestone left the sport, not pictured). In their places, Ferrari has named appropriate replacements, and has shuffled some additional staff around. F1 journalist Alberto Antonini, for example, has taken over the press office from Renato Bisignani who will now run the Scuderia's new commercial department. More vital, however, is James Allison, a longtime F1 engineer who previously worked for Ferrari for five years and returned from Lotus last year to take up position as the team's new technical director – too late to influence last season's chassis but now charged with developing next year's. Whether the radical reshuffling of its staff will be enough to reverse the team's fortunes, nobody can say for certain at this point. But without a single grand prix victory this past season, things can hardly get any worse for what historically has been the most victorious team in all of motorsport. The Scuderia Ferrari has been reorganized Maranello, 16 December – Within a few days from his arrival Maurizio Arrivabene, Managing Director of Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva and Team Principal of Scuderia Ferrari, has restructured his team with a flatter structure and clear assignment of responsibilities. James Allison is the Technical Director with two Italian engineers and home grown Scuderia talent reporting to him: Chief Designer Simone Resta and Power Unit Director Mattia Binotto, the latter will be supported by Chief Designer Power Unit Lorenzo Sassi, among others. Furthermore James Allison will direct track engineering activities ad interim.
Possible Ferrari F70/F150 specs emerge from private showings
Fri, 01 Feb 2013At a private showing in Maranello, a group of lucky souls got to sneak a peek at the upcoming successor to the Ferrari Enzo, which has been referred to as both the F70 and F150 (not that F-150). While we still don't get any name confirmation or a definitive idea (aside from spy shots) as to what the newest Ferrari supercar will look like, one of the attendees did manage to pass along some vital performance information about the car as well as production numbers that are said to be limited to just 499 units.
The report on Auto-Blog.com.mx confirms that the Enzo successor will utilize an 800-horsepower V12 paired with a hybrid KERS good for another 150 hp. The engine's peak power kicks in at a screaming 9,200 rpm, while peak torque (not divulged) will be available at just 1,000 rpm. That kind of power could be great in just about anything, but the report also says that this new Ferrari model will have a dry weight of just 2,799 pounds (about the same as the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S twins and just slightly more than a Mazda MX-5 Miata). Rumored speed times include a top speed of 229 miles per hour, and the ability to run from 0-60 mph in less than three seconds; doubling that speed takes an extra second.
We've already seen the car's carbon fiber chassis and now we're just waiting to see the production car in real life, but Ferrari has not announced when the car will be introduced.
