This Velo Rossa kit car was built on a 1978 Nissan 280Z that was completely refurbished in 1999 prior to creating the look of a 1963 Ferrari Spyder, and I have owned it ever since. The movie Farris Bueller's Day Off showed a 1961 version of this car, but this one is more Lotus-styled. Only 42 actual Ferrari's of this type were built and the going rate for a real one is around $10M. This is a great cruising car that makes people want to complement you or ask about its history on every drive. Teenagers always want to race with you. In 1999 an ATK-Japan rebuilt stock 280Z engine was professionally installed (now with 12K additional miles on it) and numerous other updates since then (clutch, brakes, tires, master cylinder, injectors, hoses, belts, certain gauges). It has the stock 5 speed transmission, AC & removable hard top. All finishing body work was done professionally and completed with quality Ferrari Rosa red PPG paint with clearcoat; still looks fantastic!  Originally and currently a Florida-titled Nissan 280Z, always well maintained, garaged, and only adult driven for cruising and showing. There are plenty of finer details left to make it your own and make perfect, but she looks and drives beautifully. Spent nearly $40K in building and maintaining it for 14 years, and now it's time to pass the torch -- at half price! Have all major receipts and pics of build history, maintenance manual, owner's manual, and Ferrari history book.

Learn why this man has four different Maserati 3500GT classics

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

When you're born, it's impossible to know what sort of cars you'll be into as an adult. Your dad might be into old Mopars while your mom prefers a Ford Mustang. You, on the other hand, might end up being a fan of English cars (that was the case with your author, at least). Regardless of which vehicle type, era or marque you prefer, though, it's usually possible to trace back to the exact moment you fell in love with them.
For Frank Mandarano, his love of all things Maserati started at its birthplace in Italy, before spawning into a passion that saw him found a club and take possession of four 3500s over the years. One car in Mandrano's one-make collection stands out, though - a rare 3500GT that was imported into Mexico in 1960. It is a sweet sounding and gorgeous coupe to behold, making it the perfect subject for the crew at Petrolicious. Scroll down and have a look.

Latin music star Ren? P?rez destroys own Maserati to send kids a message

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Can destroying a car be art? That question comes a bit too late for the Maserati Quattroporte seen above. The act depicted is from the music video for Adentro by Puerto Rican hip-hop act Calle 13 new single.
While the video is not yet online, the making-of featurette is available below and shows the luxury sedan getting beat with a baseball bat (and more) by the group's frontman René Pérez. According to Latin Gossip, Pérez wants to send his fans a message not to place too high a value in material objects. The Maserati represents a time in his life of too much excess, it seems...
The guy might have an argument, but it still seems pretty wasteful to destroy a perfectly good Italian sports sedan. We will be curious to see how far the destruction goes, but you can get a peak at it in the video below.

Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.
