Porsche 550 Style Alloy Body Vintage Racer. on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
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.
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. |

Maserati Boomerang concept could fetch millions at auction
Wed, Jun 17 2015It's not every day that a truly head-turning, show-stopping, one-of-a-kind concept car goes up for auction, but that day is coming soon. Bonhams consigned the one and only Maserati Boomerang concept for its upcoming auction in Chantilly, France. The concept, designed by the inimitable Giorgetto Giugiaro at his Italdesign studio, debuted at the Turin Motor Show in 1971, and resurfaced at the Geneva Motor Show the following year in fully functional form. It was based on the Maserati Bora (by the same designer), packing a V8 engine good for 300 horsepower and 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph). What really set it apart, however, was its dramatic wedge shape that could only have been penned by Giugiaro. Of course it was never put into production, but its design was said to have influenced the original Golf that Giugiaro designed for Volkswagen shortly thereafter – to say nothing of the BMW M1, DeLorean DMC-12, Lotus Esprit, and so many others. In correspondence with Autoblog, Bonhams specialist Philip Kantor quoted its pre-sale estimate range at ˆ3-4 million (about $4 million, give or take half a million, at current exchange rates). That might seem like a big chunk of change, but as Kantor points out, "It's a unique, road registered concept car by the best car designer of the 20th century, so in comparative terms it's very realistic." We'll look forward to seeing bidding reach that range when the gavel drops on Sept. 5. For now, you can check out its sharp lines in the high-resolution image gallery above. THE ONE-OF-A-KIND MASERATI BOOMERANG OFFERED AT BONHAMS 5 Sep 2015, The Chantilly Sale A signature concept car of the 1970s, the Maserati Boomerang was a one-off prototype unlike anything seen before. Using geometric shapes and ruler straight lines, its angular style made a strong statement at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Now the Boomerang is set to cause a stir once again as a highlight lot of Bonhams 5 September Chantilly Sale. Philip Kantor, Bonhams European Head of Motoring, said: "The Boomerang was the first car of its time to create such a strong, angular style statement. It's considered by many to be one of the most remarkable designs of the 20th century and the 'grandfather' to the Volkswagen Golf Mk 1.
Fiat set to invest $12B on new models, stop Euro losses in 3 years
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Naturally, you'd expect a massive automaker like Fiat to have an in-depth plan to exit the current European-market doldrums, and you'd expect that plan to include plenty of new vehicles to attract those precious buyers that still remain despite the financial downturn. And you'd be right, though Fiat does seem to have a few unexpected twists up its corporate sleeve.
Perhaps the biggest shocker is a report that Fiat will completely drop the Punto, a car with mass-market appeal aimed at small-car buyers cross-shopping the popular Volkswagen Polo. Its replacement will be a five-door Fiat 500 aimed at upmarket buyers (sounds awfully similar to the 500L) that will be built in Poland. Lower-end customers will reportedly be served by variants of the Fiat Panda.
Borrowing a page from the BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen playbook, reports Automotive News, Fiat is said to have plans to reignite production at its Italian factories by retooling them to build high-end vehicles from Maserati and Alfa Romeo. These will be marketed as premium products, built by skilled Italian workers (who are paid wages that are 75-percent higher than those building Fiats in Poland), and will be sold around the world.
Maserati MC20 spy photos show supercar in broad daylight
Tue, Aug 18 2020The upcoming Maserati MC20 mid-engine supercar has been teased a number of times, but thanks to new spy photos, we finally get a clear look at the prototype. Our spy photographer caught the MC20 in broad daylight from nearly every angle, and it was wearing relatively thin camouflage. The nose of the MC20 seems to take a lot of inspiration from past and present Maseratis. It has a slightly more aggressive oval grille that will house a big trident square in the middle. Two smaller grilles flank the center one. The headlights and hood design look slightly reminiscent of the MC12 supercar, which was based on the Ferrari Enzo. The lights have a similar shape that looks like it might wrap down around the sides of the fender. The little vents in the hood also call to mind the MC12. The sides of the MC20 aren't too over-the-top. It has two relatively small intakes in the rear fender, one upper and one lower. There's a small vent in the front fender. The body's lines are smooth and curvy. The rear pillar is fairly thick and the side skirts are rather deep. The wheels have quite a bit of vinyl covering, but they seem to have some sort of three-spoke or split three-spoke design. At the rear of the car, there are few wings, spoilers or other aerodynamic paraphernalia besides the simple rear lip to distract from the clean curves. What we can see of the taillights suggests thin, wide units with arrow-like points in the lighting elements. There appear to be plenty of vents for cooling and aerodynamics, and the twin tailpipes exit roughly in the middle and a bit inset to the edges of the car. While we don't know all the details about the car, we know a fair bit about what will power it. It will use a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 making 630 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. It's also an in-house engine, not one built by Ferrari. There have been reports that the engine could see a hybrid version with multiple electric motors appear with over 700 horsepower, but it's also possible that those reports of an electrified engine could simply be referring to a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist that could be a part of the standard V6. We're expecting the regular V6 MC20 will be rear-wheel-drive with some kind of dual-clutch or conventional automatic transmission. If the high-output hybrid rumors are true, that version would likely be all-wheel-drive. We should know more when the car makes its debut this September. Related Video: Â Â
