1955 Porsche 550 Spyder on 2040-cars
United States
|
Chuck Beck is known around the world for his high-quality Porsche reproductions. They are built to a standard of no other reproduction vehicles. This is not a kit car, but a hand built reproduction of the famous 1955 Porsche Spyder, made famous by James Dean. The quality of the materials, components, and assembly speaks for itself.
This particular car is a 2650 original mile Beck 550 Spyder. Silver-blue with red leather interior and matching red floor mats.Tubular frame chassis with a flat 4 engine with dual Weber carbs mated to a 4 speed transmission with 4 wheel disc. The power to weight ratio on these is amazing. If you have never driven one, they are a BLAST! Car comes with a cold weather package of a black soft top and matching side curtains. Original style banjo steering wheel, shift knob, leather straps for the engine cover and original style Porsche badges. Titled as a 1955 Porsche, this VERY low mileage masterpiece is ready for your driving pleasure. Car is in fantastic condition and always garaged, panels line up great and color looks great and is not blotchy as some silvers can be. I have driven the car and it is in need of not one thing. Considering a real one trades at over 1 MIL for the price you can’t find a better way to have fun. With a few updates you can have this car looking dead on as an original. Doing a wide five wheel update makes it look like a million bucks with not much effort. It has a few paint issues from normal use. You have some hair line scratches on the top of the front left fender, can polish out not below the clear. You have a 1/4 inch scratch on the driver’s door and a small dot chip behind the right rear wheel and that's all I can find. Shipping can be arranged world wide. Feel free to ask any questions ! Thanks for looking and good luck ! |

Maserati to show GranCabrio MC in Paris
Mon, 24 Sep 2012Maserati sure seems to be milking the GranTurismo franchise for all its worth these days. In addition to plenty of limited editions and sport models for both the coupe and convertible, Maserati recently launched the MC version of the hardtop. Now, ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the Modenese automaker has dropped details on its latest iteration of the GT platform, the GranCabrio MC.
Visually, the droptop's most noticeable change is its new face, which has been lifted directly off the MC Stradale coupe. This means the car is a full 48 millimeters longer than the standard and Sport versions of the GranCabrio, but we like the decidedly more aggressive look to that big ol' schnoz. The large rear spoiler has also been reworked for the MC, providing even more downforce to keep that large body firmly glued to the road.
Maserati has not released powertrain details, but we assume that the GranCabrio MC uses the same 4.7-liter Ferrari-sourced V8 as the MC coupe, good for 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Ram/Jeep Ecodiesel engine has Maserati roots
Sun, 16 Mar 2014The 3.0L turbodiesel V6 in the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel earned a slot on Ward's Automotive 2014 10 Best Engines for its power, fuel economy and refinement. In a piece looking at how Fiat subsidiary VM Motor developed the engine, Ward's also makes note of the fact that the same lump goes in diesel versions of the Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli. They're tuned a bit differently, naturally, with the QP putting out 275 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, the smaller, lighter Ghibli making do with the same number of horses but a lower torque output of 420 lb-ft.
The 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet put out by the oil-burning six-cylinder in the Ram was tamed with a host of advances, but it appears that Ram hasn't tamed demand: the initial allocation of 8,000 engines was spoken for within three days of the truck going on sale. Head over to Ward's to read the story of how Ram worked out the equation light-duty-pickup + diesel = success.
Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
