A little about the car:

This is a Thunder Ranch car.  TR purchased Beck's original tooling for there 4 cylinder kits.  This 6 cylinder kit is their own design and culmination of a lot of hard work which is why these are so rare and so expensive.  Not to mention the additional cost of the 911 motor.  TR has made over 330 (4 cylinder kits) and only 5 (6 cylinder kits like mine).  This is a very rare vehicle.  There is over $85,000 into this car and if you wanted to recreate it you would spend near 6 figures. This is your chance to own it at a fraction of what it would cost to build with all of the work being complete and can be enjoyed immediately.  

KitCar Magazine Cover car in 2009.  This car was on the cover with a large article written about it in 2009.  I have 3 copies of the magazine that will come with the car.  The only difference is that I changed some of the interior to red and added red leather heated seats... which is a great addition for those cold mornings or nights.  

Mileage: 4,600 kilometers (<1,000 on rebuilt motor and carbs), approx. 2,800 miles.
Note: New Red interior completed less than 2 months ago. Some older photos will show black seats which were vinyl.

Motor: less than 1000 miles since rebuild
- 2.4 liter twin plug 1973 911S motor. This was a stock 2.4 liter. The S heads were added and twin plugged, S cams, S pistons, etc... to make it a true "S" motor. I recently completed a top end rebuild (Competition Engineering in Lake Isabella performed the work) and inspected the bottom end which needed nothing and looked great. The only thing that was replaced was the access circular oil gasket on the bottom of the motor by the drain plug which was weeping. All front main and rear seals were all dry as a bone.
- Peterson 10 quart oiling system with hard in-line oil filter and cooler with built in fan. This car will never overheat because of how open the motor is. The fan rarely even comes on.
- Rebuilt Weber 40mm stacks done by Paul at Performance Oriented. This was a complete rebuild with center shaft drilling... not cheap!
- New Mallory Comp fuel pump with Holly fuel pressure regulator and A/N inline (reusable) fuel filter. Also, all new stainless steel braided fuel lines were added when the engine was rebuilt
- Installed new style auto weather proof engine wiring harness connectors for easy removal when needed. This is a 8-way connector and used for all major wires from fuse panel to engine. Very easy to disconnect during engine removal or maintenance. 
- Estimated at 225hp (if not more) and the car weighs approx. 1,400lbs.
- Custom 3-2-1 ceramic coated exhaust system with Dynaflow mini mufflers.
- Hydraulic assisted slave cylinder on clutch for easy driving.

Exterior/Interior:
- Racing plex windshield by Hanna manufacturing
- 356 glass windshield included with all framework and fasteners. I couldn't bring myself to drill holes for installation and love the current look of the vehicle.
- Tonneau cover custom made by Stitch at Classic Interiors and has a zipper to remove just one section for warmer conditions for driver or to protect against the elements if caught in rain.
- custom rear view mirror with headlight style holder
- Porsche square weave carpet
- 718 style balsa wood shifter (also in Carrera GT)
- Nardi steering wheel
- bucket seats from Thunder Ranch (heated top and bottom with low and high settings)
- Twin Porsche style grill

Suspension/Transmission/Brakes:
- 901 transaxle from 914.
- 914 drive axles
- four link suspension with panhard bar and DiDion tube. Supported by Aldan aluminum coilovers.
- CNC 4-piston calipers up front and 911 2-piston calipers in the rear (brand new).
- Porsche 944 master cylinder

Wheels/Tires:
- Porsche Fuchs 16x7 and 16x6
- Brand new Dunlop DZ101 tires


This vehicle is also on YouTube.  I have posted several videos so you can see how the car sounds and drives.  Please search under "Bryan Boardwell" to locate the videos.

No surprise here, the Maserati Alfieri has been delayed again

Wed, Oct 19 2016

It happened again. Maserati has reportedly delay the gorgeous Alfieri coupe, the concept version of which made its debut way back at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. According to a report by Autocar, the 2+2 sports car has been put on the back-burner and is now expected to arrive in 2020 – at the earliest. Giulio Pastore, general manager of Maserati Europe, told Autocar that the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio are more vital to the automaker's lineup than the smaller Alfieri. Once Maserati replaces those aging models, it will then shift its focus onto the Alfieri, Pastore says. After the Alfieri concept was unveiled in 2014, reports emerged that it got the green light for production and that a production model would hit the road as soon as 2016. Then the delays started happening, with China's weakening car market as the culprit. More recently, a report claimed that Maserati would have the Alfieri on the road in 2018. With that now pushed back a few years, and the chance for more delays, the car might need a redesign before it goes into production.

Ferrari-Maserati dealer folds in Las Vegas casino

Thu, Oct 22 2015

The ten-year-old Penske Ferrari Maserati dealership located inside the Wynn resort in Las Vegas, where non-Ferrari owners had to pay $10 to walk among the cars, is closed. Word is that the Ferrari franchise is moving to Towbin Motorcars, which you'll know for being the home of the former "King of Cars," and more recently where Floyd "Money" Mayweather has bought 100 cars, including three Bugatti Veyrons. According to Ferrari Chat almost the entire Penske-Wynn staff will make the move, including the highly regarded service department. This being Las Vegas there are, naturally, various theories about why the only Ferrari franchise in the state of Nevada is leaving one of the state's marquee locations. We got a tip a month ago from reader Johnny Autos that Ferrari pulled the franchise, and if there is any truth to that, rumors at Ferrari Chat suggest it part of the reason could have been Steve Wynn flipping his LaFerrari before the 18-month no-sale period had elapsed. Wynn supposedly sold his $1.5 million supercar to Naples Motorsports in Florida for $3.5 million, Naples is asking $5 million for it and using it for the elementary school run in the meantime. On the other hand, Vegas Tripping says Wynn is letting the dealership go in order to get ready for the Alon – another casino – to open across the street in three years. That story believes Wynn will build a pedestrian bridge and rearrange shops on the Wynn side so that customers enjoy the kind of grand entry he would want. And then there's the theory that Penske is getting out of the Ferrari dealership business to focus on commercial trucks. No matter where the truth is in all of this, what matters to you is that you won't be able to spend $10 to check out Ferraris on the strip anymore. Which means more money for the penny slots.

Orange 2007 Maserati MC12 Versione Corsa is a 755-hp track tiger, and it's for sale

Sat, Mar 7 2020

Maserati will enter a new era when it launches an all-new vehicle called the MC20 in May. As the name tips, the upcoming super sports car will be the spiritual successor to the MC12, one of the greatest Maseratis (and greatest cars) ever produced. So the timing couldn't have matched up any better when the ultimate form of the MC12 popped up for sale. Girardo & Co. is currently offering an orange-over-black MC12 Versione Corsa, one of only 12 ever built, and it is undeniably special. Girardo touts the MC12 Corsa as the most powerful Maserati ever built, not surprising considering the Ferrari Enzo-sourced MC12 was related to a race car. The MC12 was the road-going homologated version of the MC12 GT1, which dominated during its time in international GT racing. The GT1 had an air-restricted 6.0-liter V12 that made 580 bhp, while the MC12 made 630. But the Corsa was different. The Corsa, which is not street-legal and is intended for non-competitive track use only, is based on the GT1, but it didn't have to play by all of the rules and regulations required of a race car. That meant no air intake restrictions. With the shackles off, the Corsa's V12 increased its output to 755 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. Weighing in at 2,535 pounds without liquids, thanks in part to the carbon fiber and Nomex honeycomb sandwich monocoque, the Corsa is capable of a 202.5-mph top speed. Maserati claims zero to 124 mph in 6.4 seconds. Gear work is handled by a six-speed sequential semi-automatic Cambiocorsa gearbox, and stopping power comes from carbon ceramic brakes. Whereas Maserati built 50 examples of the MC12 road car, the Corsa model was significantly more limited. In total, 13 examples were built, and one was a prototype. This specific car, chassis No. ZAMDF44B000029631, is No. 8 of 12, and it has an interior plaque that says, "Commemorates the victory at its maiden long distance race the 24hrs of Spa. A first in racing history." Originally, the cars were offered to top-tier customers through invitation to purchase the vehicle for $1.1 million, by today's conversion rates.  Although the price is not listed, we expect today's purchase number to be significantly higher. In 2017, a different Corsa was listed for $2.75 million. Check out more details and photos on Girardo & Co. Related Video:   Â
