Up for sale is my F430. I've owned the car for 3 years and have maintained it with open check book, just like its previous owner who is my friend. I've known this car since almost brand new. The car features a beautiful Grigio Titano exterior and a black interior. It has all the features you'd expect from an F430, including the F-1 shifter, power steering, brakes, seats and mirrors.

The car was never raced or 0-60'd which is important as it is usually the case with younger drivers and causes real damage in the long run. This car was always driven the proper way, which includes setting the tranny to neutral waiting for a green light or in traffic.

Most recent services done on the car are:

In Oct of 2012 the car got minor service including changing the front brakes and rotors.

In Jan of 2013 the car got its last major service, including a brand new clutch. (over $10K)

All service is documented and was performed at Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale.

The stereo in the car was upgraded to include Navigation and Bluetooth (sliding monitor with touch screen), The work was performed by a professional shop recommended by the Ferrari dealer and all cable work was done while keeping the original plugs in the event you want to go back to the Ferrari stereo which btw is included with the car. Also included are the original Ferrari toolbox and the Ferrari electric air pump as well as two (2) covers: the original red Ferrari cover and an additional custom cover made of thicker material that I put over the red cover to prevent door dings, etc.

There is a minor blemish to the carfax, on 05/20/2012 my neighbor didn't see my car getting out the garage and backed into me. The damage was extremely minor as it was at parking lot speed. The rear bumper of his SUV hit my driver side fender and caused a 5" ding in the fender and scratched the front left light. The repair was done by Executive Autobody and all parts were replaced (not repaired) by original Ferrari parts: left front fender and front light. Then the fender was painted and blend was performed on the hood and bumper. That's all there was to it and none of the chassis, wheel or anything beyond the skin was harmed or touch in this accident, so technically this car is accident free with a tiny blemish on car fax. All information is available to the buyer.

Current condition of the car is that it's missing the right tow hook cover on the front bumper (its a small 2x2 cap) that someone had stolen while parked, it has a bubble on the right front tire which needs to be replaced and there is a hairline crack on the inner front bumper air intake (the black area). I spoke to Executive Autobody and they told me that they can do the repair for approx. $500, the front tire is about $380 so consider that the car needs $880 to be perfectly mint.

This is an excellent car and runs and drives 100%. I am selling it to the highest and best. If you want to get more pictures or the carfax please contact me.

This car fully serviced and ready for its new owner. The car is located in FL and can be seen anytime.

Ferrari to pay Fiat Chrysler $2.8B prior to spinoff

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is trying to get capital together in a hurry to finance the automaker's growth plans. Among its strategies to raise money, Ferrari will be spun off from the FCA mothership next year with an initial public offering. However, the Italian supercar maker will be a couple billion dollars poorer at the start of its new life.
According to a filing with US regulators obtained by Automotive News, FCA intends to "enter into certain other transactions including distributions and transfers of cash from Ferrari currently estimated at 2.25 billion euros ($2.8 billion)" before it spins the supercar maker off. Those funds might include paying a dividend to investors, and FCA possibly transferring some of its debt to the Prancing Horse.
The Ferrari IPO will likely be in the second or third quarter of 2015, according to Automotive News. Ten percent of the automaker will go onto the public market in the US and possibly Europe too, and 80 percent will be distributed among current FCA shareholders. The other 10 percent is held by co-chairman Piero Ferrari, according to AN.

Ferrari vs. Ferrari: Cut convertibles unloved by collectors?

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The 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.

'Ring Queen Sabine Schmitz battles Ron Simons in Porsche vs Ferrari scrap

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

We hope you have seven minutes to kill. RSR Nürburgring recently took the time to pit Sabine Schmitz and her slightly modified Porsche 911 GT3 RS against Ron Simons and his Ferrari 458 Italia in a sparring match around the infamous Green Hell. The clip begins with the two drivers engaging in a smidgeon of smack talk before the two get down to the business of beating each other's doors off around one of the most challenging courses in the world. Simons calls his car superior to Schmitz's 911, while Schmitz says she's up against nothing more than a Fiat driven by an old Dutch man.
Don't hold any punches, you two.
We won't spoil the finale for you, but we will say the tango is worth watching. At the end, the loser calls for a rematch. We can't wait to see that throwdown. Check out the clip below for yourself.
