1996 FERRARI F355 STRETCHED KIT CAR Please read the entire ad before bidding. this is a project, see details below: I have a very cool project which I must regrettably pass on to someone else. I have aspired to build this car for some years now as a Father son project. However we simply haven't had the time. Now I have graduated from college and am starting my own business which consumes all of my time. With some work this could be one of the coolest cars around. (no reserve auction) This is not your average Fiero Kit car. Currently Titled/Registered in Vermont as a custom car titled "Ferro Specco" VIN# AZ-393299 which is hard to have done and is extremely important so you don't get pulled over every time you have your plate run by the Police and it comes up as a Fiero. This car is Registered and has its own custom Vin number issued by the state of Arizona. You will not require a custom vehicle safety inspection, simple as registering any other car. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The car is built on, I believe an 88' Fiero and has been heavily modified. Custom stretch to match the Ferrari F355 wheelbase, the suspension has also been modified extensively and widened which is usually accomplished with giant spacers (dangerous and looks very cheap) with these kits. (there are thin spacers to get the wheel spacing just right) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You will notice the wheel gaps on my kit are perfect thanks to the custom suspension and adjustable coilovers. Most kits look like monster trucks. Keep in mind all this work was safety inspected in Arizona. Now for the fun stuff, the car is customized for a high output 4.6L Cadillac Northstar V8 Motor, the Northstar motor currently in the car is seized. (however the car did run at one time some years ago) It is paired up to a GM automatic transmission. However the donor fiero was originally a stick shift car so with an adaptor plate you could switch back to a manual transmission rather easily during the engine swap. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am including a 1997 Cadillac Deville that runs perfectly with 42,000 miles which is the donor car I bought for this project. (owned by an older lady) I planned on using the Cadillac wiring harness to wire the kit car, engine, cluster, windows, lights etc. Just because I don't know exactly what the previous owners did wiring wise. The swap is pretty easy as it drops down from underneath with a cradle holding it up. All the engine mounts are there as far as the mechanicals go this will be like a plug and play engine swap. With a few bolt-ons this motor will easily make 300HP (This is a no title car, bill of sale only) (as a side note the car has developed sticky power steering from sitting, a common problem for this model, it turns freely turning left, but turning right is as if the car had no power steering. i haven't addressed the issue as it has nothing to do with the engine swap. and it still drives perfectly fine. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am also including a 1985 4 cylinder 5 speed Pontiac Fiero that does not run but will likely be useful in finishing up this build. (this is also no title, Bill of sale only) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have various manuals for the Fiero, Cadillac Northstar engine as well as the original build manual provided by the kit manufacturerThe exhaust is an OEM Ferrari 355 exhaust, The plumbing for the radiators in the front etc is probably still usable I would just double check everything. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The fiberglass kit is one of the highest quality kits available. Made by Air Dynamics the gel coated panels alone cost $8000. It also has an Interior kit with door cards dash tunnel etc. They were covered in black faux leather some time ago and could probably still be used as is, or easily rewrapped for desired color. They are in place, in the car but have not been fully installed Just installed brand new Windshield. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Things off the top of my head that the car needs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ----The car currently does not have seats in it. I was planning on going for a racing look and was planning to buy racing seats. ----The rims are Ferrari replica wheels, and the the chrome is beginning to bubble up on the inside of the wheel, I was going to sandblast and powdercoat them. ----Miner cosmetic fiberglass work. Over the years stress cracks have developed in a few places, these will need to be filled in before paint.
----Mirrors ( these pop up on ebay for a couple hundred bucks every once in a while. I believe a certain generation of corvette mirrors look very similar) ----headlight motors/assembly (saturn lights will work with minor modification) I was going to modify them and delete the pop ups to give the car an updated look (see attached pic of red ferrari for reference) also one foglight is missing, these are off the shelf 3" foglights. ----taillight lenses. (Chevy HHR lights look nearly identical, or you can get the real ones for $400- $600) ----Door handle situation needs some work. (generally people employ door poppers here) ----Engine swap/miscellaneous wiring ----Paint job after work is completed. ----Tires are dry rotted but hold air. ----Front blinker lenses. (If I remember correctly, lenses from a camry can be modified slightly to fit.) ----Cluster ( I was going to modify the digital Cadillac cluster to work as it is already designed to work with the ECU) should be pretty easy and will look great! ----Some kind of engine bay prop, the decklid is pretty heavy, I was going to find a standard hood prop from another car, or just use the one from the parts fiero. ----Headliner and area around rear window, I was going to use 3M super 77 and some black pleather. ----seatbelts, The seatbelts are still in the car but are cruddy. I was planning to get 4 or 5 point harnesses. ----Other odd and ends, this is a project. If you have specific questions, or would like to see the car in person please contact me. (The car, and the donor cars are located on Federal Hill in Providence RI) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is a no reserve auction.

Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection
Fri, Dec 29 2023Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage. One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
1964 Ferrari 250 LM expected to net $12-15 million at RM's NY auction
Tue, 19 Nov 2013
If you're one of the very fortunate souls that has $12 to $15 million burning a very large hole in your pocket, we've found the perfect way to liberate yourself from the burden of so much money - buy this Ferrari, which is being put up for auction. It's a supremely rare Ferrari 250 LM, the 24th member of a 32-car run, that rolled off the assembly line on what we imagine was a brilliant, sunny Italian summer's day in July of 1964.
Officially known as Chassis 6107, this 250 LM is rare because unlike its brothers, it wasn't originally bought to be a race car. Its first owner used it more or less as a toy, both around town and on the infamous Mulholland Drive, in California. After a pair of owners, it found its way into the hands of an Ecuadorian pair, who kicked off its racing career. Its best result was at the 1968 24 Hours of Daytona, where it finished eighth overall and first in class, although subsequent runs at Daytona and Sebring were less successful. Its most recent owner was a Japanese collector, who purchased the car in 1983 and has had it on display ever since.
Jeremy Clarkson chooses his top 10 cars for 2015 and 2016
Mon, Aug 15 2016Jeremy Clarkson is well-known for his role as co-host on the old Top Gear. But the frontman of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, The Grand Tour, also has a standing column for The Sunday Times in the UK where he reviews the latest cars. With fall nearing, Clarkson put out a list of his top-10 cars from this year and 2015. Some on the list will surprise you, while others represent everything we've come to love about Clarkson. In order to make his list of star cars, the vehicles must offer what co-host James May calls "the fizz." The vehicles, Clarkson claims, have something that is out of the ordinary. Whether it's the car's looks, the way it gets up to speed, or its high-tech gadgets, Clarkson's top-10 list is made up of items that are more than just tools for getting from point A to B. So which ones made the list? Head over to the column in The Sunday Times.
