UPDATE: We have sold the 002 car to a private buyer in PA, USA. The car will be built starting SEPT 2014 and delivered in JAN 2015. We are looking for 2 more buyers, to complete a series of three cars to be delivered then. We will use the same payment system for the three cars: $2500 deposit, and the rest is divided into three monthly payments. That way you pay as you see the progress on your car. This is the info on the original auction: Hello, this auction is for a handmade vintage racer body and chassis only. Please read the full description and photos, feel free to ask any questions. The following is a 16mm film shot in may 2014 of the car at the Autodromo de Tocancipa in Bogota, Colombia.
This car is the best option for running some of the vintage races with the best ratio of fun to cost. I only sell what I make, that way you decide how much you want to spend on the engine, transmission, and other options. Delivery time is four months. The car will be custom built and fit for you, with several options available. Two place, or mono posto, that is also your choice. The car will be hand
built by myself, and my assistants in our small shop in Bogota, Colombia. I not
a parts salesman, I am a car builder, so I will not sell any of the parts required
to complete the car, but I will guide you to the right vendors. I will
also build a parts list with you. I want to make clear that although I won’t be
making any money off these parts, since you will be buying them directly, I
will work with you throughout the process. If you want me to assemble the car,
I can do it here or in the USA for you at an additional cost.
The car in the
photographs is my first prototype, the car you will be purchasing will be built
using our new buck, with a similar shape but better details. The new buck is
slightly more similar to the Porsche 550, but is still different enough not to
be a replica. Please see attached photos. This is a Porsche inspired car, not a
replica.
About the body:
The handmade body will be shaped out of 1.5mm aluminum, shaped using an English wheel and gas (oxy/acetylene) welded. The new car has a bonnet and opening rear. The aluminum seats are included, upholstered in leather on the color of your choice About the chassis:
The chassis is TIG
welded mild steel, in a shape similar to the Porsche RSK, but using a rear
suspension derived from the Formula Vee racers. This suspension has proven
itself during decades of racing and is lighter and stronger than the original
Porsche/VW. The chassis includes your choice of integral roll bar or
none.
What is included:
The alloy body, painted
or polished. with all necessary parts to be attached to the chassis. The
chassis, with all brackets and supports. The seats for the car. The stainless
steel fuel tank is also included in the price.
What is not included:
Rear shock, engine, transmission, wheels, steering wheel, pedals, front
suspension, brakes, steering box, and instruments. Everything else needed to
complete the car.
About the engine
options:
With the right vintage
engine and gearbox this car can race most of the vintage race events around the
world. Yes, it is not a four million dollar Porsche 550, but you will have just
as much fun driving it as the Porsche. Porsche 912 or VW engines and gearboxes
can be installed. You choose how much you want to spend. My opinion is that a
2000cc VW engine is the best option.
About delivery:
I will deliver the car
to you. That means I will take care of the transportation and import to the
USA. But It will be imported as parts. I am not a lawyer, so I will not
register the car for you, or assume any liability on its use as a
vehicle.
The car has been proven
at local events. You will have as much fun driving it as I have building them.
Please contact me for any additional info. |

Maserati Ghibli overtakes Levante, headed for Shanghai?
Wed, 13 Feb 2013While earlier reports indicated that the next Maserati product out of the gate would be the Levante SUV, Motor Trend is now reporting that the Audi A7-shaped Ghibli has cut in line. Word is that we may see the new Ghibli as early as the Shanghai Motor Show in April.
Citing unnamed sources, MT predicts that the minds at Maserati now see a more pressing need to fight off the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5 Series than to go after luxury utes. However, if our spy shots of Ghibli prototypes are anything to go on, it's also likely that the sub-Quattroporte Maser won't be a traditional sedan. The car above's long nose, low roof and brief, sloping rear deck all bring to mind Audi's lovely A7, Meaning the Ghibli may fall into the always murky four-door-coupe/luxury hatchback genre.
Bi-turbocharged iterations of both a V6 and a V8 should make up the early powertrain choices for the Maserati, meaning the top-spec Ghibli should have loads of shove to match its promised good looks.
Maserati orders explode, 22,500 through September
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Last year when Maserati revealed a plan to sell 50,000 units globally by 2015, it seemed like a pretty steep goal for an automaker that had sold just 6,300 units for the entire year. It turns out that goal may be a little on the conservative side. Through September, Automotive News Europe says the Italian automaker has already racked up 22,500 orders mainly on the backs of the redesigned Quattroporte and the all-new Ghibli, and there are still more new products in the pipeline.
Back in August, we heard that demand in China was playing a strong role in Maserati's big numbers in 2013, and this doesn't even include the upcoming Levante SUV, which Maserati CEO Harald Wester expects to add as many as 25,000 units to the mix when it goes on sale in 2015. According to the ANE report, the Quattroporte is still the most popular model with almost 10,000 orders so far this year, while the smaller and more affordable Ghibli is performing quite well with almost 8,000 orders; the aging, but soon-to-be-replaced, GranTurismo models have about 5,000 orders.
2014 Maserati Quattroporte [w/video]
Wed, 12 Dec 2012Vastly Upgraded Italian Speed Sedan Kicks Off Brand Renaissance
The sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte is big - and not just because it's 6.5 inches longer than before with a wheelbase that stretches 4.3 inches beyond its predecessor. The new Quattroporte is big also because it's a huge deal both for its segment and for Maserati. Just as FoMoCo is finally chucking $1 billion at Lincoln MoCo, so too is Fiat investing 1.2 billion euros ($1.55 billion at the time this writing) in Maser's future hopes of achieving the larger success we all have wished for it. And after a thorough drive over the intensely challenging mountain roads of France's Mediterranean coast, we can't deny that there's finally reason to put some faith in this long overdue investment.
The much-applauded outgoing Quattroporte enjoyed a reputation of being among the very fastest executive sedans of its day, all while delivering the sportiest overall ride and handling, even in base trims. Yet there was constant corporate-level dysfunction that kept all Maseratis from getting important upgrades or receiving much-needed investment support. So, the outgoing Quattroporte has up until now sort of languished nobly, largely resting on the laurels it earned when it launched way back in 2003.
