Brand new Ferrari Daytona Replica kit. One of only 105 made. These kits were produced in the late 1980?s in the UK and were unusual because they included the frame. This kit has been in warehouse storage since the 1990s and includes a majority of the parts to build an accurate replica. In addition, the body is mounted to the rolling chassis. This is a list of the parts you will need to complete this kit to the best of my knowledge:

  • Jaguar XJ12 sedan donor vehicle for engine and transmission or an engine and trans from and XKE V12.
  • Fuel tank probably from an XJ12 or XJ6 (I believe I have the sending units)
  • Convertible top and frame. The top frame is likely off an existing British roadster.

The vehicle would be rather impressive with six downdraft Weber Carbs installed on the V12 motor. This conversion is recommend. The second choice is to install a Chevy 350 crate built motor. At one point, John’s Cars (I believe) in Texas offered conversion kits to install Chevy motors and transmissions in Jaguar V12 vehicles. The same kit, if still available, could be used in this vehicle. What is included with the kit.

What is included:

  •  Assembled factory chassis with front and rear suspension installed
  • Steering rack installed, steering column installed
  • All road springs front and rear installed
  • Alloy wheels and tires
  • Differential installed
  • Body installed
  • Doors, fenders, hood and deck lid
  • Glass and all guts for doors
  • All electrical components, i.e. lights switches, gauges, etc. included exclusive of the engine (all relays, a wire harness, complete interior, carpeting, inner and outer door handles, stainless steel exhaust system and windshield.)

These parts are all brand new as is the car body, chassis, suspension etc. The vehicle is currently in warehouse storage with layers of dust sitting from the 1990?s. I will post a picture shortly. The vehicle can only be seen on weekends. If you are overseas we can help with transport to the New Jersey docks. Please note there is no title to this vehicle as it is a kit and you would probably use the Jaguar donor car title or register as a a Replica kit in most states. Again this is 1 of 105 made and not the common Corvette Replica kit. This has its own Chassis. Ferrari sued most of these kit car companies to stop production so production was discontinued by most if not all the replica manufacturers. The expense to produce this kit today would be immense and costly. This is an opportunity to build a great replica of a Daytona Ferrari

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Ferrari LaFerrari supercar to spawn Maserati LaMaserati?

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

CAR reports Maserati may benefit from the introduction of Enzo-succeeding Ferrari LaFerrari (shown below). According to unnamed parties, Maserati is keen to create a successor for the MC12 (above) based on the bones of the new Ferrari.
Details are about as scarce as they come, but CAR reckons Maserati has a few options when it comes to building its own supercar. Those include using the suspension, chassis and electrical systems of the Ferrari but with a unique carbon fiber body and without the LaFerrari's hybrid system. The new take on the MC12 could use a detuned version of the 6.3-liter V12 from the LaFerrari or stick a quad-turbo 3.8-liter V8 behind the front seats.
The latter option could see the next MC12 yield up to 900 horsepower, putting it within reach of its cousin as well as hardware like the McLaren P1. Of course, all of this - including our fanciful name in the headline - is just speculation for the time being. CAR says that if the machine makes its way to production, it would could cost well over $1.3 million.

Maserati MC12 GT1 looks, sounds great storming VIR

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Maserati has been celebrating its 100th anniversary all year, but recent visitors to Virginia International Raceway might have gotten to see one of the coolest highlights of the whole centenary. The brand took its already amazing MC12 GT1 racer and painted it up to commemorate its 100th birthday, dubbing the model Maserati MC12 GT1 Centenario. That would be neat enough, but the spectators at VIR actually got to watch and listen to this special edition racecar lap the track with its spectacular exhaust note singing a fantastic tune.
It's rather rare to see these beastly V12 racers on track in the US these days, but they were quite successful in FIA GT1 competition in Europe several years ago. The sound that they make perfectly matches those purposeful, low-slung looks. Switch this video into HD and turn up the speakers to experience a look at this fantastic racecar.
