Ive had this Ferrari for quite some time. It has mostly sat in my warehouse. I did start the car and occasionally drive around on Sundays. Last year we had the car wrapped for, and took it to events. The car has not been raced, or abused. During the wrap process a few small blisters in the paint were brought to my attention. The blisters were removed, and rust treatment was performed on a couple of surface rust areas the roughly the size of a quarter. After that, I really began to scrutinize the car. I have noticed a few items that I will list below. In general, the car starts and drives very well. The car is complete including the original owners manuals. I really like driving the car, but my lack of attention is beginning to take a toll. The car will need a caring restoration by the next owner. I will list the condition of everything that I am aware of Exterior--No dents or accidents.few small surface blemishespaint is oxidizedwrap is easily removable and will not damage the carall turn lenses are intact and not broken Interior--the seats will need re-upholsteredthe sun roof will need recoverednew carpet would be a plusowners manual presentnothing missing that I've noticedwindows roll up and downdoors open with no sagging trunk-spare wheelextra spare wheel included engine-starts right up warms up in less than a minuteno smokinglast major service at 30,000(14 years ago)could use a tune up(tune up parts included purchased at orlando ferrari)could use valve cover gaskets(few drops after driving, mechanic advised changing valve cover gasketsI would change the beltsnew fans installed in 2014(original fans included) fluidly through all gearsclutch is tight tires--could use new tires brakes--stops fine, but i would replace the pads and grease the bearings The car is drivable around town on short trips, but I haven't driven it over 100 miles in more that 2 years. I wouldn't trust the old tires for highway speeds A car like this deserves an owner that has time to refurbish it. It is a driving project, but it is a project. It is NOT perfect. But it isn't a difficult restoration either. Very solid, low original mileage investment grade Ferrari.

1963 Ferrari 250 GTO sells for $70 million

Mon, Jun 4 2018

The Ferrari 250 GTO is well-known as one of the most valuable cars on Earth, and quite rare with just 39 examples built. It's a reputation backed by incredible sale prices, one of the most recent being an auction record of $38 million at Bonhams' Monterey auction in 2014. Not all of them cross the auction block, and one reportedly was sold in a private sale for a stunning $70 million, thought to be the highest price ever paid for a car. The price and the sale was confirmed by Fox News after the news outlet talked to a Ferrari historian. It was reportedly sold to American businessman. The duPont Registry reported on the sale a little earlier, having learned of the sale in a forum, and notes that the buyer may have been David MacNeil, CEO of WeatherTech, the company that makes and sells various floor mats and cargo-area covers. MacNeil is a Ferrari collector and driver and may well show and drive the car in vintage races and rallies. Not only does this price exceed the last auction price, it exceeds the last rumored private sale price. Back in 2013, a 250 GTO reportedly sold for $52 million. That particular car shared some of the racing heritage of this new record setter, including a win in the Tour de France, a race that was commemorated in the name of the Ferrari F12 TdF.

Ferrari, Mercedes selling cars with faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jul 21 2016

According to the US Senate, a small group of automakers are still selling new cars with faulty Takata airbags. Automotive News reports that Ferrari's entire lineup and various Mercedes-Benz vehicles come with faulty airbags and are subject to being recalled by the end of 2018. US Senator Bill Nelson, (D-FL), claims the affected Ferrari models include: the 2016 to 2017 FF, California T, F12 Berlinetta, F12 TdF, 488 GTB, 488 Spider, and GTC4 Lusso. Mercedes-Benz is also in the mix with the 2016 Sprinter and 2016 to 2017 E-Class Coupe and Convertible. Automotive News reports that both Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz will require its dealers to notify buyers of a recall in the vehicles' future. The National Highway traffic Safety Administration claims the vehicles are legal to be sold, as the airbags are safe until exposed to high humidity for a significant period of time. With the majority of Ferrari drivers storing their vehicles in temperature-controlled garages, this shouldn't be troubling news. What is troubling, however, is that seven out of 17 automakers that Senator Nelson contacted admitted to putting defective Takata airbags into its new cars. Volkswagen, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and Toyota are a few automakers that still use Takata's faulty airbags. All have agreed to notify buyers of future recalls.

Vettel says halo would have saved Wilson, Surtees

Fri, Mar 4 2016

Sebastian Vettel reckons the aesthetics of the new halo protection system do not matter as long as it helps save lives in Formula 1. The Ferrari driver ran with the device for the first time on Friday, after teammate Kimi Raikkonen tested it on Thursday. The halo, however, was subject to harsh criticism from some drivers like world champion Lewis Hamilton, who said it was the "worst-looking mod in F1 history". Force India Nico Hulkenberg was also against the device and labelled it as "horrible". Four-time champion Vettel, however, is convinced drivers like Justin Wilson and Henry Surtees - who died after being hit in the head by objects during races - would still be alive today had the halo system been used in their cars. "First of all, to go around is okay. You can see what you need to see," Vettel told reporters on Friday. "I think we can improve the system in terms of aesthetics and also in terms of how much it's in your way, but I tested it as well in the simulator and I think we will see evolutions of it very soon. "In principle I agree it doesn't look very nice but equally it helps increase the safety, it helps saving lives. "There would be at least two drivers in the last four years there I remember that would still be around – Henry Surtees and Justin Wilson Â– if we had this type of system. "I think it can be very ugly but nothing justifies not having these two guys around."
