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. |

Maserati confirms mystery concept, Zegna edition QP for Geneva
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Debate ensued last week around the Autoblog offices when we first heard rumors that Maserati was bringing a new sports car concept to the Geneva Motor Show this year. Could there be any truth to the rumors? Did the timing make any sense? Does Maserati even need a two-door halo car to help it move examples of the new Ghibli, Quattroporte and upcoming Levante?
Well, we still don't have any official answer, but Maserati has indeed confirmed a new concept car to debut this week at the Swiss expo. The Modenese automaker hasn't indicated what form the concept will take, but assuming it's not doing another sedan or crossover, and unless it's planning a wagon concept like Touring's Bellagio Fastback or StudioTorino's Cinqueporte (both based on the previous Quattroporte), we feel it's more likely than not that we'll be looking at a two-door (be it a coupe, convertible or something in between).
Of course, we also don't know at this point just what size and segment Maserati is pursuing with this concept car (initial rumors had it going after the Jaguar F-Type) or for that matter whether it will presage a production version to follow or simply stand as a design study. But Maserati doesn't typically do many of the latter: the Kubang concepts of 2011 and 2003 previewed the Levante (albeit several years in advance), and the Birdcage was really more of a Pininfarina project, despite the Trident on the nose. With the exception of a couple production-based show cars (which themselves previewed production versions to follow), those are pretty much the only concepts Maserati has done in recent memory.
Learn why this man has four different Maserati 3500GT classics
Wed, 26 Feb 2014When you're born, it's impossible to know what sort of cars you'll be into as an adult. Your dad might be into old Mopars while your mom prefers a Ford Mustang. You, on the other hand, might end up being a fan of English cars (that was the case with your author, at least). Regardless of which vehicle type, era or marque you prefer, though, it's usually possible to trace back to the exact moment you fell in love with them.
For Frank Mandarano, his love of all things Maserati started at its birthplace in Italy, before spawning into a passion that saw him found a club and take possession of four 3500s over the years. One car in Mandrano's one-make collection stands out, though - a rare 3500GT that was imported into Mexico in 1960. It is a sweet sounding and gorgeous coupe to behold, making it the perfect subject for the crew at Petrolicious. Scroll down and have a look.
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.
