1956 Porsche 550 Spyder No Reserve!!!!!!!!!! on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
1956 Porsche 550 Spyder recreation. Incredible car with extensive use of aluminum and amazing detail work per the pictures. Car is in great condition - extremely clean, looks like a brand new car. Was built by Fibersteel in California at a cost over $100,000. This particular car is a very close replica of Porsche VIN 0018. The body is a work of art with extensive beautiful aluminum work which was done by Fibersteel. From the cockpit, engine bay, gas tank, wheel wells, brake ducts, etc., shows the fine craftmanship. Fibersteel no longer offers this type of replica due to the amount of time and money it costs to make it (they only made 7 of this type). The wheels are authentic with vintage Dunlop racing bias ply tires which are period correct and blemish free. Complete leatherette interior with correct style shifter and emergency brake, billet aluminum pedals, and original brand new Porsche 550 gauges. The car appears perfect due to it's $15,000 paint job that took months of work with block sanding and gap filling. Also added the real venting modification for the carb access exactly per the originals. You never see this detail in other tribute cars. Bilstein shocks all the way around so the car has excellent handling and balance. The engine was built by CB Performance of California. This 2332cc blue printed and dyno test motor with 165hp engine gives this lightweight Spyder (1600 lbs) excellent acceleration and driveability. The car is truly amazing and appears as new and stops traffic every where! Incredible detail in every way. NO RESERVE! Bid with confidence. Title is clean in hand. Title is for an assembled vehicle. $1000 deposit due within 48 hours of auction close. Balance due within 5 business days following auction. Cash or wire transfer is acceptable for payment. I can assist with coordinating vehicle pick up but shipment is the responsibility of the Buyer. Car is located in Austin, Texas, U.S.A. |

2017 Maserati Model Year Preview and Updates
Wed, Mar 1 2017From a storied past, to an almost-forgotten nameplate and to what it offers today – in the guise of two four door sedans, a coupe or convertible GT and its first-ever SUV – Maserati has, over the last several years, quietly exploded into the ranks of desirable brands. And with the introduction of the all-new Levante SUV (pictured above), the Italian marque once again confounds the skeptics. MASERATI LEVANTE: The Levante, Maserati's first-ever SUV, arrives in the US marketplace at exactly the right time, as interest in all-road capability has never been higher, and high-end offerings have never been more numerous. Supplying what Maserati describes as best-in-class on-road handling in 'sport' mode and leading off-road comfort, propulsion is supplied by your choice of two V6 powertrains: a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 345 horsepower in the Levante, and the same basic V6 with 424 horsepower in the Levante S. GHIBLI: Maserati's most accessible model, with a base price of just over $70K, is unchanged for 2017. GRAN TURISMO COUPE/CABRIOLET: Maserati's 2+2 coupe and convertible are unchanged for 2017. QUATTROPORTE: Maserati's luxury four-door receives an exterior nip here and tuck there, along with updated infotainment inside. Available in both GranLusso and GranSport, you can enjoy sport-oriented luxury or luxury-oriented sport. And unlike its siblings, which offer either V6 powertrains or V8 powertrains, the Quattroporte allows the buyer to select one from each column.
This is our clearest look yet at the next Maserati Quattroporte
Fri, 02 Nov 2012The best look we've had at the next Maserati Quattroporte so far was found in patent drawings that could have substituted for a whole lot of other cars. But seen here is a more useful glimpse, courtesy of someone on the lookout in Italy who caught a prototype in a skin-hugging wrap.
Maserati has apparently gone with the Charles Eames philosophy on the redesign: "The details are not details. They make the design." The overall line is familiar - not such a bad thing even on this 10-year-old sedan - but the detailing appears to have been refined and made sleeker. The taillights themselves should make for an especially interesting feature if the camo'ed car can be trusted.
The next Quattroporte is predicted to be roughly 450 pounds lighter than the current car, and underhood grunt is expected to come from a 520-horsepower, 5.2-liter turbocharged V8 at launch, followed by a 420-hp, supercharged V6 supplied by Ferrari, both working through an eight-speed ZF transmission.
Why Italians are no longer buying supercars
Wed, 08 May 2013Italy is the wound that continues to drain blood from the body financial of Italian supercar and sports car makers. The wound was opened by the country's various financial police who decided to get serious about superyacht-owning and supercar-driving tax cheats a few years ago, by noting their registrations and checking their incomes. When it was found that a rather high percentage of exotic toy owners had claimed a rather low annual income - certain business owners were found to be declaring less income than their employees - the owners began dumping their cars and prospective buyers declined to buy.
Car and Driver has a piece on how the initiative is hitting the home market the hardest. Lamborghini sold 1,302 cars worldwide in 2010, 1,602 cars in 2011 and 2,083 cars in 2012 - an excellent surge in just two years. In Italy, however, it's all about the ebb: in 2010, the year that Italian police began scouring harbors, Lamborghini sold 96 cars in Italy, the next year it sold 72, last year it sold just 60. The declines for Maserati and Ferrari are even more pronounced.
Head over to CD for the full story and the numbers. What might be most incredible isn't the cause and effect, but where the blame is being placed. A year ago the chairman of Italy's Federauto accused the government of "terrorizing potential clients," this year Luca di Montezemolo says what's happening has created "a hostile environment for luxury goods." Life at the top, it ain't easy.
