This is an exceptional 1985 FERRARI Mondial Quattrovavole Cabriolet.
A very late model production of the rarest version of the Mondial with only 629 hand built units produced. It holds
the distinction of being the only four seat, mid-rear engine, convertible automobile ever manufactured in regular
production. The engine is mounted behind the passenger compartment, moving the weight distribution rearward and
closer to the drive axle. That's a boon from an acceleration standpoint and getting the power down, but it's also
about cornering. With the weight concentrated around the middle of the car, it makes it very nimble and reduces
overall mass, and with the engine closer to the transmission and rear drive wheels it quickens response time. The
driver sits up front, closer to the front tires, shortening steering inputs. It's all about deploying power in the
most efficient way and with style. The engine just sings as it revs to 7700 RPMs and the exhaust tone is all the
music you need while shifting smoothly through the gated gears. It is a constant head turner and photo opts for all
to drool. Last Fall it was an entrant in the Scarsdale Concours d'Elgance and it has been accepted as an entrant in
the 2016 Ramapo Concours d'Elegance.
Wearing just 48,900 miles the car has been properly driven and maintained with regular use, thus not just sitting
around all these years or a barn find requiring extensive mechanical and other restoration. I drive it on the
weekends but do not drive it in rain or snow. It is very clean and detailed as well as mechanically sound. It is
kept covered on a lift in a heated garage. It has not been modified and includes the original wheels with the same
style Michelin TRX tires, the original unused spare wheel and tire, the factory keys, original owner’s manual and
books with the original leather case, the original tools and tool case, the original window sticker, the original
black tonneau cover, radio, etc. I have its service and repair history from new. The front seats have recently been
refurbished with its Ferrari Connolly Saddle tan leather upholstery to like new condition and the rest of the
interior trim, dashboard (no cracks or blemishes) and carpets are is in very good condition showing a little patina
on the door panels, console and rear seats. No odors or signs of interior water leaks. All the windows, mirrors and
lenses are good and clear. Everything functions properly on the car. The body and frame are straight and the Rosso
Corsa paint is very nice with some scratches and 2 minor dings which come with wear. The front spoiler has some
chips. There is no rust. The black canvas convertible top has a 5" tear that has been professionally stitched
closed, near the right side rear corner of the top by the back window panel. Otherwise the top and its rear window
are in good shape as is the top's boot cover and the tonneau cover. I always drive the car with the top down so the
tear doesn't bother me. The car was delivered in Philadelphia and has spent most of its life in southern NY.
Records show I am the fourth owner. Clean Carfax and title.
I have gone over the car and replaced and serviced everything I thought it needed. The key major service on this
vehicle was recently done as were the following components that have been replaced and serviced within the last
couple years or so and last 1000 miles or so:
Ferrari Timing belts, A/C belt, Alternator belt, Water pump belt, both Timing belt tensioner roller bearings, Water
pump tensioner roller pulley, motor oil and Baldwin filter change, transaxle and clutch gear oil change, O2 sensor,
spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel injection tuning adjustment, K&N air filter cartridge installed, air injection check
valve, wiper blades, A/C Freon and oil change- blows ice cold.
Other components recently replaced include: new battery, brake pads, rebuild of the original radiator with new
hoses installed and antifreeze fluid flush/change including bleeding the cooling system and pressure testing it,
all fuel lines checked, all window motors checked and mechanisms lubed, replaced sticking ignition switch, fuel
pump, hi-torque starter motor, rear TRX tires and have an extra set of TRX tires for front when needed, front coil
springs, alignment checked, transmission oil sump pan gasket, motor oil sump pan gasket (no oil leaks), oil
pressure switch, shifter seals, lubed all cables.
At 32,000 miles a new Ferrari complete clutch, pressure plate, bearing, seals, clutch cylinder and valve were
installed. Also a few years ago the fuse panel was refurbished with an updated Ferrari panel using the new blade
style fuses and the electrical was rewired. Additionally the warm up regulator was replaced.
As you can see most every concern has been addressed on this vehicle and it has now been trouble free. I am a true
car guy and defects bother me. I am meticulous with the detailing. . This is a very nicepractical classic Ferrari
with impressive handling and performance as well as that quintessential Ferrari motor sound track. It is the least
fragile Ferrari you can own and an excellent value with continuing appreciation (20% increases since the beginning
of the year).

F1 2013 Classic Edition to make Lauda's 1976 Ferrari playable

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

We'll cop to the fact that we might be a bit overly excited about the upcoming F1 2013 video game, specifically the Classic Edition. Codemasters has released umpteen trailers for the title already, mostly pretty cool ones, with cars lapping classic Formula One tracks that are set to be included in the fun.
With that said, this very latest historic addition to F1 2013 is pretty worthwhile, we think. Doing a kind of double promotion with Ron Howard's upcoming film Rush (which you all know by know to be the story of Niki Lauda, James Hunt and the chase for the 1976 F1 Championship), Codemasters is making the 1976 Ferrari 312 T2 a playable car in its new game. That's right, you can now walk in Lauda's racing boots, without all the painful crashing and superhuman recovery bother. Watch the video trailer below.

Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]

Wed, Jul 2 2014

As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.

Ferrari renews partnership with Marlboro [UPDATE]

Mon, May 18 2015

Formula One and Big Tobacco may have parted ways years ago, but the alliance between Ferrari and Marlboro continues on, apparently as strong as ever. Though neither party has made any official announcement or revealed any details of the arrangement, reports from the motorsport press indicate that the Scuderia and Philip Morris – the tobacco company which owns the Marlboro brand – have signed an extension of their longstanding partnership. Marlboro first arrived in Maranello way back in 1973, ramping up over the years to become its main sponsor by '93. The Italian outfit changed its name to Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro after the tobacco brand parted company with McLaren in '97. After tobacco advertising was ultimately banned in 2006 (at least in Europe), Ferrari was forced to remove the Marlboro branding from its cars, but the name stuck – and so did the logo, in various forms of obscurity and subliminality through 2010. The Marlboro name was dropped from the team's handle in 2011, but that didn't stop the two from renewing their partnership. And now they've reportedly extended again through 2018. Though the deal hardly comes as a surprise (even given the complete lack of discernible public association between the two), we don't doubt that Maurizio Arrivabene – the former Marlboro exec who recently took over the struggling team – had something to do with it. UPDATE: A spokesman for Scuderia Ferrari downplayed the significance of the story, telling Autoblog by correspondence that "the contract is extended through 2018 and details are confidential." UPDATE 2: Philip Morris International responded to our inquiry with the following statement: "Our agreement with Ferrari has been extended beyond 2015, but we are not in a position to provide financial or other details. This partnership provides us with opportunities such as enabling our adult consumers and business partners to experience motor racing through Ferrari factory visits and attending F1 races."
