1956 Porsche 550 Spyder Thunder Ranch Body & Frame Project Car on 2040-cars
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, United States
Selling my Thunder Ranch 550/A wide body Spyder project car for health reasons. I bought it from Thunder Ranch about 6 years ago for $10,000. for body and frame.
Please see all the parts I have in the photos. I think I have about $12,300 in it as you see it in the photos. I have done extensive mods, suspension and body wise, but if you want to return it to original T/H design I have all the parts that I removed. I also have the doors, hood & hardware but I have them hanging in the garage. I Have: 2 Wilwood rotors & hats custom drilled for Porsche 1 Wilwood caliper Steering rack & shafts 3 Wilwood master cylinders 2 Fibersteel fiberglass seats custom shifter Parking lights & tail lights License plate light Front spindles (944) Front & Rear hubs (944) Custom pedals from Australia (GT 40 ford) Turn signal switch (VW) I was going to make the suspension totally custom, front A-arms w/inboard shocks. Rear is a copy of a Porsche 917. This car is supposed to be a 6cyl. Porsche, but you could probably make it a 4cyl if you wanted to. I sold the engine, trans, and wheels from a 1985 Carrera a few weeks ago on ebay. Just ask if you have any questions. |

Maserati ramping up production of Ghibli, Quattroporte
Thu, 12 Jun 2014While Porsche may be relatively new to the four-door game, Maserati has been building the Quattroporte with few interruptions since 1963. But like its rival from Stuttgart, the Trident marque is rapidly shifting from a sports car company primarily to a manufacturer of high-end family transportation. Not only does it have the new Quattroporte on the market, but now it's got the Ghibli sedan as well and the Levante crossover on its way.
It's a gambit that's reaping huge benefits not only for Maserati itself but also for its newly merged parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which is finding the mass market less lucrative than it once was and is positioning both Maserati and Alfa Romeo against other luxury marques like BMW, Audi and Porsche. As a result, Maserati is considerably expanding its production.
Last month, Maserati sold over 3,000 cars, putting it on track to double its sales from 2013. But it's not about to stop there. With growing demand for its authentically Italian luxury sedans, Maserati is shifting more workers to its assembly plant in the Turinese suburn of Grugliasco (where the QP and Ghibli are made) and shortening vacation time to ramp production up from 750 cars per week to 900.
Maserati introduces Ghibli to Americans in Super Bowl spot
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles aired three commercials during this year's Super Bowl, and the first spot was given to Maserarti during the first quarter of the big game. The 90-second ad was used by Maserati to introduce its new midsize Ghibli luxury sports sedan to a very captive American audience.
Called Strike, the Ghibli commercial tells the familiar tale of the little guy who waits around for the world's giants to let down their guard. Scroll down to watch the spot yourself and let us know if it lives up to the high bar that Chrysler brands have set for themselves in past Super Bowls.
2015 Maserati Quattroporte gets the lightest possible updates
Wed, 19 Nov 2014A week after its debut on the interwebs, Maserati has trotted out its freshened Quattroporte range at the LA Auto Show, giving us our first in-person look at the changes to the top-of-the-line GTS trim.
Maserati has tweaked the headlights across the range, while the GTS gains new body-color trim pieces on the lower bodywork. Red badging on the wheelcaps and and a freshened trident badge are some of the more obvious changes, while new lower bodywork is matched to the main exterior color. While these tweaks are nice, we aren't totally sure they deliver on the "sportier and aggressive appearance" that the Italian company is aiming for in model year 2015.
What do you think? Could Maserati have stood to go further for the 2015 Quattroporte, or is this sort of super-light freshening just what the doctor ordered? Let us know what you think in Comments.
