'1959-'63 Ferrari Gt 250 California Spyder Kit Car on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
|
This magnificent rolling work of art and engineering tour de force currently located in Casa Grande, Arizona, is Calspyder's breath-taking recreation of a '1959-'63 Ferr@ri GT 250 C@lifornia Spyder. It was built by Dr. Mike Renucci, PhD.(eng.), who was the former head of Jaguar when it was a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. Completed in late 2010, the car has only 2500 miles and it was previously prominently featured in Kit Car Magazine as the "SUPER SPYDER". It is the most powerful, fast, luxurious, and sophisticated GT that Calspyder has built to date. Any original Ferrari GT 250 Spyder that was built back in the early 1960's is now rightly a museum piece worth millions. Less than 50 are known to still exist. The original version's power plant was a 3.0 L, 240-260 hp, SOHC V-12 engine with down-draft Webers. Despite the beautiful lines penned by Pinninfarina at the time, the original version was not really considered to be a technologically sophisticated vehicle, even when first introduced. The original GT 250 had many significant mechanical limitations if one were to compare it to a contemporary competitor from the same era, such as Jaguar's superlative XKE. The original GT 250 was hampered by a solid live rear axle, a 4-speed NON-synchromesh transmission, 4 wheel drum brakes, and it even had an imprecise worm and sector steering gear. This Super Spyder now for sale is mechanically superior to the original version in every conceivable way, but at only a fraction of the cost. This car is docile when driven judiciously, but it is VERY FAST. During engineering tests conducted in Arizona, it was confirmed that THE SUPER SPYDER WAS FASTER THAN A ZR1 IN THE QUARTER MILE AND TOP END! The Super Spyder has the following special features: - VIN 124BS10043340
-560bhp, 427cid, fuel injected, Windsor block, Smeding engine with roller rockers and cam. -Oversize aluminum racing radiator. -4 wheel disc brakes. -Rack and Pinion steering gear. -Richmond Gear Racing Super 5 speed (with Overdrive). -2.47 rear gear for ULTRA-HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY CRUISING and 20 mpg on highway. -Independent rear suspension by C.W.I. with inboard rear discs. -Bullet proof integrated 9 inch limited slip pumpkin. -Air conditioned with R-2 coolant and modern Sanden compressor. -Beautiful wood dash accents. -True pin drive knock-off wire wheels, including spare which is mounted in the trunk. -Period correct gauges, including H20 temp, oil pressure, oil temp, voltmeter, fuel, etc. -Striking medium metallic blue paint. This beautiful color was a period correct option. -Period correct leather seats and dash. -Modern retractable seat belts. -Windshield wipers with washer -Wilton wool carpets. -Detailed trunk and engine compartment. -AM/FM/ CD stereo. (You can understand "the why" when I tell you I've NEVER turned it on!) -Electric lift antennae. -Electric lift windows. -Passenger side glove box -Perfectly working canvas top. -Integrated Battery Tender with trunk plug in (all you need is an extension cord) -Complete, correct, period Ferr@ri and Pinnin badges. Spring time is approaching and now's the time to get the convertible and enjoy the season. The only reason I'm selling is because we have a Tesla Model S being delivered and we have too many toys for the space available. We've loved this car and want it to go to a great home. Please feel free to email me or call if you have questions or would like to come preview the car. 77O-5 nine 5-four 387. The Odo has stuck at 899 miles however we've put about 2500 total miles on it. Oil was done last month and Transmission Fluid done 3 tanks of gas ago. Serious inquiries only. Seller reserves right to end item early as it is also for sale locally. Deposit of $1000 is due upon winning auction with balance due before taking delivery of the vehicle. I'm happy to help with coordinating shipping however shipping is the buyers responsibility. I have a couple of recommendations if needed.

Ferrari F150 Enzo successor is Geneva bound [UPDATE]
Sun, 10 Feb 2013Ferrari has announced the automaker will debut the company's "most powerful HyperFerrari [sic]" at this year's Geneva Motor Show. The news came courtesy of Instagram, where the Italian automaker posted a familiar-looking rendering with a quick note. Details are still remarkably scarce, though Ferrari says the successor to the Enzo throne will be able to "turn into a corner" as quick as a Formula One car thanks in part to the fact that the road-going machine will feature as much downforce as an F1 competitor. From what we've heard so far, the Enzo replacement will boast over 800 horsepower from the combination of a V12 engine and a HY-KERS system.
We've already heard some interesting tidbits about the new machine, including the fact that each model will come with a driver's seat tailor made for the buyer. Ferrari says we can also expect to see a quicker 0-120 mph sprint than the old Enzo with 40 percent fewer emissions. Stay tuned for live photos from the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
UPDATE: After some looking into it, Ferrari does not appear to have an official Instagram account, or at least doesn't list one alongside its other official social accounts. We're of the mind now that what appeared on this Instragram is not officially from the Horse's mouth.
Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024
Mon, Jan 22 2024Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor. $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60. $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
Seeing Red: 70 Years of Ferrari at the Petersen Museum
Mon, May 15 2017When the Petersen Automotive Museum completed its extensive 14-month renovation and reopened its doors in December of 2015, automotive enthusiasts were treated to a refreshed 95,000 square feet of exhibit space boasting 25 separate galleries. At the time of opening our favorite of those was the Precious Metal exhibit in the Bruce Meyer Family Gallery, featuring some of the world's most desirable cars all painted in silver. While we're sad the Precious Metal exhibit is no more, the gallery is now filled with something perhaps even better - an exhibit celebrating the 70th anniversary of Ferrari called "Seeing Red". The theme of a single color has been maintained (red, of course), and the gallery features eleven of the most significant road and race cars built by the Prancing Horse in the last seven decades. Leading the herd is a stunning 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, one of just 39 built and widely considered to be one of if not the most desirable collector car in the world. The last one that sold at auction brought a record $38 million. Following up the 250 GTO is an achingly gorgeous 1958 250 Testa Rossa and then a 1965 250 LM that won Le Mans outright in 1965. A Mille Miglia winner, a 1949 166 MM Barchetta, is also on display. Perhaps the most historically significant car in the collection, however, is a 1947 Ferrari 125 S. Although this particular vehicle's history is difficult to trace, with many early race cars being wrecked, cut up, or combined with other cars, many believe this example, chassis 010I, to be the very first car to carry the Ferrari badge. Not surprisingly, the 125 S was a successful race car, winning six of the thirteen races in which it competed. The rest of the gallery is a celebration of belle macchine, which includes a 1955 Ferrari 857 Sport, a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder SWB, Michael Schumacher's 2006 Ferrari 248 F1, a 1976 Ferrari 312 T2 driven by Niki Lauda to victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, and a 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari. "We're so thrilled to bring some of the world's most beautiful Ferraris to the Petersen," said Bruce Meyer, founding chairman of the Petersen's Board of Directors. "Seeing that Rosso Corsa paint and the beautiful curves of the body work is always enough to make your heart skip a beat.
