This is one of three cars from my collection which I am auctioning on Ebay.  The other two are a 1994 Mercedes Benz SL600 Convertible and a custom built 1955 Jaguar Convertible (originally a four door Mark VII salon) which I will list within a few days.  I must sell two in order to get garage space for new cars I have coming.  If interested, please see the separate listings.

This Ferrari is an absolute joy to drive.  Always garaged, solid, runs perfectly, has that great sound, does not have a mark on it.  Paint, chrome, stainless, glass, all in excellent condition.  Non-smoker.  With so few miles, it easily passes for a much newer car.  Note the original tire sticker on the windshield and the sticker inside the spare wheel.  Also note the fuse box is perfectly clear - not cloudy.  Everything works fine, including the pop-up headlights.  No leaks of any kind.  The radio is a new Pioneer as are the speakers, but I still have the original Blaupunkt if you want to show the car.  (The Blaupunkt could be repaired but very expensive.)  The tires are correct, show very little wear with no cracking, and could be original, but I am not sure.  I doubt the spare has ever been on the ground.  The wheels do not have a mark on them. 

The car comes with owners manuals, original pouches, two sets of original keys, tool kit with spare parts, extra belts, and both the full cover and the targa cover.  (See pictures) 

I am told this is the only mid-engine Ferrari ever built with seating for four.  It is actually pretty comfortable in any seat.  You can drive this car anywhere and not have any problems at all.  The only consideration might be the manual top.  I believe it is original and I don't think it has been up much in the car's history.  The result is that it is very stiff and difficult to raise.  I removed the rear metal stiffeners and that helped a little, but a new top and boot would give the car new zing.  The air conditioner does not blow very cold and probably needs a recharge.  I will try to have that done before the car sells.  And finally, the side of the driver's side seat shows a bit of wear which I am treating with leather conditioners that seem to be doing the trick.  Other than that, the car is turn key. 

As background, the car was sold new in Germany in 1985 and shipped to the USA shortly thereafter.  That is why the odometer is in kilometers.  I am the third owner.

The car has been serviced by a certified Ferrari mechanic who has given me a letter vouching for its condition.  And one more very good thing.  If you know about Ferraris, you know that the frequent timing belt changes are the single most expensive maintenance that comes with owning one.  THIS Ferrari is the only one that was built which does not require lifting the engine to change the belt. Thus maintenance is much less expensive to do.

Finally, I suggest you have a mechanic verify the condition of the car for your peace of mind before your final bid.

The VIN # is ZFFLC15B000053929. 

Thank you.

Petrolicious documents the motorsport-changing Ferrari 512M

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Petrolicious has had plenty of beautiful cars and big-time personalities in its videos, but today's interview is sees one of the series' most well known subjects - US Formula 1 commentator David Hobbs.
Hobbs is an accomplished racer, capturing a number of podiums and a pair of class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in addition to short stints in F1 and at the Indianapolis 500. One of his Le Mans runs was behind the wheel of this, the Ferrari 512M, a car that's notable for two things - running a 1971 season that included the 24 Hours of Daytona, 24 Hours of Le Mans, 12 Hours of Sebring and Watkins Glen 6 Hour races. The other thing it's known for? Failing to win a single one of those enduros.
Still, the Ferrari 512 is one of the Italian marques most iconic 1970s racers and Hobbs' example is a proud member of that breed, delivering a delicious 5.0-liter V12 exhaust note that makes this an easy video to sit through.

Ferrari dominant at high-priced RM Auctions' Monterey event

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Of the 21 multi-million-dollar lots sold over RM Auctions' two-day Monterey event, the top six were Ferraris while the top four were members of the vaunted 275 family. In total, 13 of the 21 seven- and eight-figure entries bore the yellow shield and prancing horse of the Scuderia.
Two cars in particular wowed bidders at the Monterey event - the exceptionally rare Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale and a 275 GTB/4 that was originally owned by Hollywood legend Steve McQueen.
The GTB/C Speciale was the first of a three-car run. Ferrari originally planned on campaigning the new range as a GT complement to its prototype entries at Le Mans, although squabbles with the FIA limited its racing career. Still, the extremely rare nature of this car means another example probably won't be coming up for auction for several years. Considering that, the GTB/C's selling price of $26.4 million does make a bit of sense.

Watch this Ferrari Enzo get thrown around on farm roads

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

Tax the Rich, the YouTubers who seem to have sprung from some mischievous corner of the V for Vendetta universe, have somehow acquired a Ferrari Enzo for their latest trick. Last time we checked in with them, they were opposite-locking a Rolls-Royce Phantom at high speed all over a wet, muddy field. Perhaps knowing that if they repeated that with the Ferrari they'd end up with a dead stallion and a field full of carbon fiber parts, they kept the action to a mostly paved farm access road.
But still - using an Enzo for a tarmac rally stage is something we would not have though of, and there's a fair bit of water and mud, too. As Joseph Campanella used to say way back when, "What will they think of next?" Check out the video below and prepare to gaze in equal measures of shock, wonder and horror.
