If you have any questions I can be reached at (6l9)..288..6O12. ~This is a beautiful 1957-1959 Porsche Spyder RSK-718. Its a very high quality replica. Built 1835cc backed by a 4 speed transmission. 2,000 miles on the entire car and driveline since built in 2000. Clean and clear title. Fully street legal with current plates and registration. ~The body and paint are gorgeous! Laser straight with a very nice fit and finish. Its done its the factory silver color with blood red leather interior. Its was built on a completely rust free, California, 1969 VW pan and also titled as one. ~The car is and absolute blast to drive! Engine fires right up, sounds great and is Faster Than Hell! Transmission shifts smooth. Brakes are good. Interior looks brand new. The car is running the factory style race exhaust now but It also comes with a more street friendly short exhaust. I also have a tow bar that comes with car. If you want something that no body else has this is it! It draws a crowd everywhere and attracts tons of attention. ~Specs: The engine uses only the following OEM VW parts: crankcase, strengthened and with 3/8" studs; flywheel, pushrods, tubes and rockers. That's it. All the rest are aftermarket stuff bought new: DeMello counterweighted crank, Mahle 92mm (1835cc) cylinders and pistons; CB Performance 044 heads (3/4" spark plugs, large stainless steel valves and high quality valve springs), solid rocker arm shafts; billet valve covers, Engle 110 cam, a mild torque grind profile; dual Solex single throat carburetors with K&N filters; 12v electric fuel pump; aluminum flywheel pulley; new Bosch starter and alternator; Melling cast iron, high volume oil pump; CB Performance stainless steel reusable oil filter. I had the engine assembled in a shop that builds Baja racers in SoCal. It is built for torque, not high rpm horsepower which can often be a nuisance in street driving. The transaxle was rebuilt by Transform in SoCal and has a Super Diff differential gear set, a close ration 4th gear and a taller overall gear ratio of 3.44 vs an OEM Bug having 3.89. The overall gearing allows the car to cruise at 75mph at 3000 rpm. It is a very quick car, not a Corvette beater but still very fast! Suspension new all around. Front brakes are Porsche 11" discs, Rear brakes are OEM drums. Shock absorbers were new at the time of construction, as were the wheels and Dunlop 15" radial tires.

It has full lights. ~TERMS OF SALE - non refundable $1,000 deposit due 24 hours after auction ends. Car needs to be paid for in full within 3 days.

Maserati teases MC20 prototype again reminiscing about the Targa Florio
Tue, May 26 2020Maserati spent its weekend reminiscing about victory in the 1940 Targa Florio, putting an MC20 prototype to work enhancing the gravitas of the anniversary. After winning the Targa in 1937, 1938, and 1939 with the Maserati 6CM and its 1.5-liter supercharged inline-six throwing 175 horsepower, the House of the Trident showed up in 1940 with the brand new 4CL powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder cranking 220 hp. Luigi Villoresi, who'd driven the 6CM to triumph the year before, crossed the line first in the 4CL to close out European racing until the end of World War II. With a return to racing on the automaker's mind, Maserati took a camouflaged MC20 to the same Favorita Park roads that hosted the Targa. The soft-focus spy shots were taken in front of the Floriopoli stands, a stretch of bunting and banners not far from the Targa start line as historic competitors headed into the Sicilian mainland. The MC20 is as photogenic in these shots as all the others, and as mysterious. The automaker seems intent on making everyone wait until the September debut to for any details that the prototype doesn't put on display. Prime among enthusiast interest is the powerplant. With Ferrari shutting down its supply of engines to the fellow Modenese sports car maker, Maserati says its new mid-engined coupe will be "the first car to use [its] new engine, brimming with innovative technological contents, developed and built by Maserati in-house." Short odds figure on a molto potente twin-turbo V6 sending power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the long money isn't afraid to bet on a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8Â to replace the F154 V8 that Ferrari provides. With race engineers undoubtedly sorting out a version for sports car racing as we speak, Maserati will certainly hope the competitive version matches the exploits of the 4CL. The vintage race car took pole in its first race, earned its first victory two races later, snatched up a bag of silverware before WWII, won the first race held in Europe after the war ended, and continued winning in 4CL and 4CLT trim until 1951 to take 31 total victories — nine more than the MC12 race car.

330-horsepower Ghibli Hybrid is Maserati's first electrified model
Thu, Jul 16 2020Maserati kicked off its electrification campaign by releasing a hybrid version of the Ghibli, its entry-level model. The sedan gains a mild hybrid system, subtle visual tweaks, and many technology upgrades inside. Unveiled online, the brand's first production-bound electrified car features a gasoline-electric powertrain built around a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It works jointly with a 48-volt belt-driven starter-generator and what the company calls an e-booster that's essentially an electric supercharger. The system's total output checks in at 330 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 332 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, and it channels its power to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Maserati quotes a 5.7-second sprint from zero to 62 mph, and a 159-mph top speed. While fuel economy figures are still being finalized, preliminary estimates peg the Hybrid's fuel consumption at about 27.6 mpg in a combined cycle, a figure which — if accurate — makes it less efficient than the 31.3-mpg diesel model it will replace. Adopting 48-volt technology was the best way to electrify the Ghibli, according to the brand. "We thought about a plug-in option for the Ghibli, but when you put a lot of batteries — and a lot of other stuff — into the car, it adds weight and it's going to jeopardize the performance and the fun-to-drive quotient that is key for Maserati. I'm not saying this to diminish the good points of the plug-in hybrid technology, but it's not the best solution here," Francesco Tonon, Maserati's head of global product planning and marketing, told Autoblog. Tonon pointed out making the Ghibli a hybrid wasn't an excuse to make it dull; it still needed to drive and sound like a Maserati. It's 176 pounds lighter than the diesel-burning model, and it offers better weight distribution because there is a lighter engine under the hood and some of the hybrid components are installed in the back. As for the sound, Tonon proudly explained his team gave the Ghibli a unique exhaust note worthy of the storied trident emblem without resorting to an amplifier, by tweaking the system and adopting resonators. Subtle design changes set the Hybrid model apart from the non-electrified Ghibli.
