1954 Siata 300bc 1100 Spider/roadster/cabriolet/convertible on 2040-cars
Walnut Creek, California, United States
|
This is currently a tired old racing car that has suffered major crash damage following repairs done after at least one roll-over accident in the 1950's. I've wished to do the repairs on my own but have not made the time to do them in light of the fact that we have many other similar projects and some similar cars that we enjoy. This Siata requires chassis repairs that will include some re-construction at the front. I am prepared to do the chassis repairs during the next three months. The body requires that a portion of the nose be made new as the area in front of the centerline of the front suspension was cut off and discarded by 1961. A grille has to be made as well. Headlamps (partially Fiat 500) need to be acquired and a few parts made to fit them. The first photo shows the car when almost new with its first owner. Other photos show the car before some work that has been done already. The parts are part of the selection from which the car might be completed. There are many parts not shown and there are some parts shown that will be directed to other projects. The car will be delivered as complete a package as possible aside from the acknowledged parts that are missing. Fortunately, the windscreen was seemingly off the car during the car's roll-over and it is intact and in good shape, as are the top-bows for the tattered convertible top. Despite the above-stated mileage of 99,999 (an eBay requirement) the car has unknown mileage as there is no odometer. Many earlier versions of the 300BC never had an odometer! Engine supplied will be a Fiat 1100/103 of either 1089cc (as original) or 1221cc (later option from Fiat) and will newly made intake and exhaust manifolds. Sample photos will be supplied in case you wish to make it to appear as "original" as possible. The transmission is a Fiat 1100/103 "sport" version which has ratios that are virtually identical to those used most commonly by Siata in these cars. The front suspension has the correct Borrani hubs and the earlier Fiat 1100E derived brakes, as original. These parts were not part of the car as acquired and are probably not the original parts from this car. The brakes will need to be gone through. The rear end was not with the car when acquired and this has to be built up as Siata would have done. The majority of the parts to do that are included with the car but this is one area where a slight revision for strength may be logical. This will be discussed and the appropriate parts supplied as per your wishes. Four Borrani wheels are included for the road but the package is without a spare. The chassis repairs required will be completed before delivery, slated for end of March (2014) or at another time to be agreed upon. Body repairs are optional at added cost. Again, mechanical options are to be agreed upon after consultation but a complete mechanical package will be supplied. Price is considered to be $150,000 for the repaired chassis, rolling on its wheels. Reserve price is set at $140,000 as I have a near offer already. Since a very incomplete body without identity is currently selling on eBay for something "north" of $90,000, it seems time to part with this project that has been in the family since about 1965. We have two very nice similar (albeit unique) examples already and this alone allows me to consider selling this project. If you wish for the body to be repaired and be essentially ready for primer and paint, then the price will climb to the buy-it-now price of $180,000 ... with additional work remaining to be done elsewhere on the car. In order to own this car in a rolling state (after a bit of a wait for the work to be completed), you need only be the first to make a bid of $175,000. Please send me an email at that same time so that I will know to check and conclude the auction. At that point the auction will be terminated, regardless of any time remaining until its scheduled conclusion. Since I have already some interest in this Siata, I reserve the right to withdraw from this eBay offering at any time and conclude a sale on my own. Questions? email me at [iicarjohnATgmail] Thank you for your interest! John de Boer - The Italian Car Registry My father and I raced ST433BC and ST434BC quite a lot during the 1970's and 1980's and found them to be wonderful little giant-killers. Spend some time with one and you'll learn to dance on the edge of control with a smile on your face. These 1100 powered cars have some real "grunt" when compared to the 750cc version and this allows some white-knuckle enjoyment for a passenger that is not so easy to experience in the Crosley-powered version.

Stellantis launching at least 25 EVs for America by 2030
Tue, Mar 1 2022Stellantis has announced a wide-ranging plan for the company through 2030 covering everything from product to financials. The product plans are what really caught our attention, particularly for the surprise reveal of the first electric Jeep, as well as new teasers of the electric Ram 1500. But the company also provided more broad details on what we'll be seeing in the future including both electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. All of the plans are in service of the Stellantis goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2038. On that way, it plans for all European vehicle sales and half of all American sales to be electric by 2030. It will launch 75 new electric vehicles by that year, and at least 25 of them will be coming to the U.S. The first of those electric cars will be the aforementioned Jeep in 2023, but many Stellantis models will follow close behind. The electric Ram ProMaster will launch in 2023 as well. In 2024, we'll see the electric Ram (and its plug-in hybrid counterpart), two more Jeeps (an off-road model and a family-oriented model) and the Dodge electric muscle car. We'll get a preview of the Dodge with a concept this year. Then in 2025, Chrysler will launch its electric car, likely based on the Airflow concept. Stellantis has previously announced Chrysler will be fully electric by 2028, and it further announced that Alfa Romeo and Maserati will be fully electric by 2030. Stellantis is also working on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, mainly for commercial use. For the U.S., it plans on offering a large, ProMaster-size hydrogen van in 2025. That year or a little later, it also has plans for a hydrogen heavy-duty pickup truck, presumably Ram 2500 and 3500. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares noted that among the benefits of hydrogen for large and commercial vehicles is being able to avoid compromising payload capacity, since hydrogen powertrains are lighter than giant batteries. Hydrogen filling times are quick relative to charging, too. The company will continue working on and offering advanced driver aids. This year it will offer hands-free cruise control like GM's Super Cruise and Ford's BlueCruise. In 2024, the company intends to introduce a system that is hands-free and won't require the driver to be watching it the entire time. The technology is being developed alongside BMW. These are, of course, broad plans, and they could change as time goes on. Expect more details as we get closer to individual product releases.
Cars with the worst resale value in 2022
Thu, Nov 10 2022Car values are all over the map right now. Used vehicles that were worth a small fortune earlier this year are now coming back to Earth, but the new vehicle supply remains tight. Prices are still elevated overall, but some models have seen more severe price drops. Depreciation strikes almost every model, supply constraint or not, though a few vehicles are leading the way. New research from analytics iSeeCars found that a handful of cars depreciated more than 50 percent over five years, with the BMW 7 Series dropping 56.9 percent and an average price cut of $61,923 over that time. The vehicles with the highest depreciation — or worst resale value — over five years: BMW 7 Series: -56.9% Maserati Ghibli: -56.3% Jaguar XF: -54% Infiniti QX80: -52.6% Cadillac Escalade ESV: 52.3% Mercedes-Benz S-Class: 51.9% Lincoln Navigator: -51.9% Audi A6: -51.5% Volvo S90: -51.4% Ford Expedition: -50.7% iSeeCarsÂ’ research showed that midsize trucks, sports cars, and fuel-efficient vehicles were slowest to depreciate over five years, while itÂ’s clear that luxury brands tend to lose value much faster. As iSeeCarsÂ’ Executive Analyst Karl Brauer explained, used buyers donÂ’t value high-end vehiclesÂ’ features as much as the first owners, so resale values tend to be softer. The tech and options that made the cars so expensive and appealing new donÂ’t add the same value on the used market.

The Nissan Leaf depreciated most among EVs, dropping by 49.1 percent. The average EV depreciation is 44.2 percent, with the Tesla Model S and Model X sliding in right under the bar at 43.7 and 38.8 percent, respectively. As iSeeCars notes, itÂ’s important to be vigilant when car shopping and not let your emotions win over reason. Shiny new luxury cars look great in the showroom, but you could end up taking a bath when you try selling them a few years later on.

Stellantis and LG launch joint venture for North American battery plant
Mon, Oct 18 2021Stellantis has struck a preliminary deal with battery maker LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America, as the world's No. 4 automaker rolls out its 30 billion euro ($35 billion) electrification plan. Global automakers are investing billions of euros to accelerate a transition to low-emission mobility and prepare for a progressive phase-out of internal combustion engines. Stellantis and LGES's joint venture will produce battery cells and modules at a new facility with an annual capacity of 40 gigawatt hours (GWh), the two firms said on Monday. No financial details of the deal were provided. The plant is scheduled to start production by the first quarter of 2024, with groundbreaking expected in the second quarter of 2022, the companies said in their statement. Its location is under review and will be announced later. Stellantis, formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has said it wants to secure more than 130 GWh of global battery capacity by 2025 and more than 260 GWh by 2030. The batteries produced under the deal will supply Stellantis' U.S., Canadian and Mexican assembly plants for installation in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, supporting its goal of e-vehicles making up more than 40% of its U.S. sales by 2030. The company, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Opel and U.S. best-sellers Jeep and Ram, earlier this year announced it would invest more than 30 billion euros through 2025 on electrifying its vehicle lineup. Stellantis has said it would build three battery plants in Europe and two in North America, including at least one in the United States. Intesa Sanpaolo analyst Monica Bosio said the deal was positive, and a further step ahead in Stellantis' electrification process. It comes weeks after Stellantis and its partner TotalEnergies agreed to open up their battery cell joint venture ACC to Daimler, to expand their European sourcing of battery cells. Stellantis is also targeting more than 70% of sales in Europe to be of low-emission vehicles by 2030, and aims to make the total cost of owning an EV equal to that of a gasoline-powered model by 2026.
