UPDATE: We have sold the 002 car to a private buyer in PA, USA. The car will be built starting SEPT 2014 and delivered in JAN 2015. We are looking for 2 more buyers, to complete a series of three cars to be delivered then. We will use the same payment system for the three cars: $2500 deposit, and the rest is divided into three monthly payments. That way you pay as you see the progress on your car. This is the info on the original auction: Hello, this auction is for a handmade vintage racer body and chassis only. Please read the full description and photos, feel free to ask any questions. The following is a 16mm film shot in may 2014 of the car at the Autodromo de Tocancipa in Bogota, Colombia.
This car is the best option for running some of the vintage races with the best ratio of fun to cost. I only sell what I make, that way you decide how much you want to spend on the engine, transmission, and other options. Delivery time is four months. The car will be custom built and fit for you, with several options available. Two place, or mono posto, that is also your choice. The car will be hand
built by myself, and my assistants in our small shop in Bogota, Colombia. I not
a parts salesman, I am a car builder, so I will not sell any of the parts required
to complete the car, but I will guide you to the right vendors. I will
also build a parts list with you. I want to make clear that although I won’t be
making any money off these parts, since you will be buying them directly, I
will work with you throughout the process. If you want me to assemble the car,
I can do it here or in the USA for you at an additional cost.
The car in the
photographs is my first prototype, the car you will be purchasing will be built
using our new buck, with a similar shape but better details. The new buck is
slightly more similar to the Porsche 550, but is still different enough not to
be a replica. Please see attached photos. This is a Porsche inspired car, not a
replica.
About the body:
The handmade body will be shaped out of 1.5mm aluminum, shaped using an English wheel and gas (oxy/acetylene) welded. The new car has a bonnet and opening rear. The aluminum seats are included, upholstered in leather on the color of your choice About the chassis:
The chassis is TIG
welded mild steel, in a shape similar to the Porsche RSK, but using a rear
suspension derived from the Formula Vee racers. This suspension has proven
itself during decades of racing and is lighter and stronger than the original
Porsche/VW. The chassis includes your choice of integral roll bar or
none.
What is included:
The alloy body, painted
or polished. with all necessary parts to be attached to the chassis. The
chassis, with all brackets and supports. The seats for the car. The stainless
steel fuel tank is also included in the price.
What is not included:
Rear shock, engine, transmission, wheels, steering wheel, pedals, front
suspension, brakes, steering box, and instruments. Everything else needed to
complete the car.
About the engine
options:
With the right vintage
engine and gearbox this car can race most of the vintage race events around the
world. Yes, it is not a four million dollar Porsche 550, but you will have just
as much fun driving it as the Porsche. Porsche 912 or VW engines and gearboxes
can be installed. You choose how much you want to spend. My opinion is that a
2000cc VW engine is the best option.
About delivery:
I will deliver the car
to you. That means I will take care of the transportation and import to the
USA. But It will be imported as parts. I am not a lawyer, so I will not
register the car for you, or assume any liability on its use as a
vehicle.
The car has been proven
at local events. You will have as much fun driving it as I have building them.
Please contact me for any additional info. |

Bizarre Levante mule proves SUV will ride on Maserati platform
Wed, 27 Aug 2014When Chrysler was developing the current Jeep Cherokee, matte black, lifted Alfa Romeo Giuliettas weren't an unusual site around the company's Auburn Hills, MI headquarters. That's because the Jeep rides on a modified version of the Alfa's platform.
Judging by these images, Maserati is following a similar path for the upcoming Levante. The presence of the modified and lifted Ghibli basically confirms that the company will look in-house for the new CUV's platform rather than outsource it to Jeep (otherwise, we'd be seeing modified Grand Cherokees running about).
The mule's Ghibli body has been fitted with a number of tweaks. Most notable are the higher roof and stretched wheel arches, which we're guessing are an attempt at increasing the sedan's center of gravity and width, respectively, in a bid to match the eventual production model.
Maserati surprises Manhattan with Centennial edition GranTurismo
Thu, 17 Apr 2014The GranTurismo may be getting a little long in the proverbial tooth, but it hasn't quite been a century just yet. It has, however, been a hundred years since Maserati was originally founded, and to celebrate that milestone, the Modenese automaker has rolled in to the New York Auto Show this year with a pair of special editions. Available in either coupe or convertible form, the MC Centennial Editions arrived as a surprise just as the Alfieri concept was a month ago in Geneva, albeit somewhat less revolutionary.
The special editions are differentiated from any other by their paint scheme, special wheels, revamped interior and special badging throughout. Magma red and Inchiostro blue - the colors of the city of Bologna where the company was founded a century ago - are new to the Maserati catalog, and come with a choice of wheel options with special logos at the center. The interior color is specified to complement the exterior with red, white or blue trim and carbon-fiber accents.
Power comes from the same 4.7-liter V8 as the GranTurismo MC Stradale or GranCabrio Sport, driving 454 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. That's said to be enough to propel either coupe or convertible to a top speed of 185 miles per hour, and comes coupled with Brembo brakes and MC sport suspension. Deliveries commence in July, but you can scope it out here in the gallery of live images from the show floor above, the galleries of stock images below and the press release below that.
Maserati to celebrate 100th anniversary at Monterey Motorsports Reunion
Sun, 15 Dec 2013The Pebble Beach weekend is without a doubt one of the preeminent classic car gatherings on the calendar. But while most of the events that make up the weekend are essentially static displays, our favorite may be the Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. That's where you can actually see classic racing cars doing what they were made for in the first place. And every year, organizers of the event select a featured marque.
Last year it was the Chevrolet Corvette. The year before it was Shelby, preceded by Jaguar the year before that. But next year, the classic racing event will feature Maserati, which will be celebrating its 100th anniversary. And to make the occasion extra special for the Modenese marque, next year also marks the 60th anniversary of the most celebrated racing cars ever made by Maserati (or any other constructor, for that matter): the Maserati 250F (No. 4 above) famously piloted by the likes of Fangio and Moss in 1954.
Fittingly, the Trident marque got its start in racing back in 1914 with the debut of the Tipo 26 that put Maserati on the map with a debut victory in the 1926 Targa Florio. Although you don't much see it competing at top levels these days, Maserati went on to win the Indianapolis 500, the Formula One World Championship and, more recently, the FIA GT1 World Championship.
