1961 Modena Ferrari

#01 Prototype
California Registered and Clean title (in my name) - Registered as 1961
Miles: 5000 Documented

Builder:

Mark Goyette (Pebble Beach Concourse Winner)

Early 80's Mark Goyette and Partner Neil Glassmoyer developed a Company named Modena, and this is the "Prototype" number #01 build Modena (out of Five) that was built by Mark Goyette to scale to exact measurements and dimensions and features of a 1961 Ferrari GT 250 Spider- They started with Commissioning Bob Webb of Indy car fame (his Chassis are World Famous) The Front suspension has a upper A-arm and a lower control arm that is connected to torsion bar. The rear suspension consist of a Ford solid axle with torsion bars as the springing medium, four links for longitundinal location, and a panhard rod for lateral location. The centerpiece of this piece of art is the Steel - tubing two-by-three inch mild steel frame Bob Webb built Roger Penske race cars. On the skid pad this car generated a very respectable 0.79G! The second of owner of this car commissioned Smeding performance engines to build him a small block with the inners of a 427! Pumping out over 550HP- this car is not for the faint of heart, along with competion clutch and five speed transmission and straight handbuilt headers into side pipes this thing is a beast. The car has over $500,000 into manufacturing and production- This is the very car that John Hughes saw and picked for the Movie Ferris Bueller! It has been in several magazines and pictures are seen throughout the World in Movie Banners.

Modena design was sued after the Movie Ferris Bueller aired by Ferrari Motorcars and a cease and desist order was issued and the production was halted! Five cars were built by Mark Goyette the other 30 or so were sold as kits.

Past Sales:

The other cars: The last car was sold to a Canadian Ferrari Enthusiast who calls the Ferris Bueller Modena "his favorite car", I know the owners of the other Modena's and none of them are currently for sale.

Ferrari chief staying on to launch new models in October

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

Luca di Montezemolo has been running Ferrari since 1991. That's a whopping 23 years already, and having been born the same year that Ferrari was founded, Montezemolo is now 67 years old. But don't expect him to be stepping down any time soon.
Addressing the rampant rumors circulating the paddock at Monza this weekend, the hereditary Marquis of Montezemolo (pictured above at the unveiling of the 458 Speciale in Frankfurt last year) insisted that he is not about to leave Ferrari. Not before 2017, anyway, having signed as recently as this past March to stay on another three years. (After that, it's anyone's guess, with some suggesting that controversial Fiat scion Lapo Elkann could take his place.) But in dismissing the rumors, the affable and long-serving Ferrari chairman did reveal some new product plans.
First of all, according to racing site Autosport.com, Luca confirmed that the Prancing Horse marque "will present a fantastic new car" at the Paris Motor Show next month, widely expected to be a new variant of the 458: either the new Speciale Spider or the turbocharged 458 M. While he was at it, though, Montezemolo also revealed a new limited edition model to be presented in California.

Ferrari 330 P4 is a stunning red bolide

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

There are many beautiful cars in the world, and then there is the Ferrari 330 P4 that outdoes practically all of them. Combining more curves than Christina Hendricks and the singing voice of Adele, it might just be one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars ever made. In its latest video, Petrolicious takes a look at the sole remaining original P4 in existence and talks to the lucky man who gets to drive it.
Ferrari Corsa instructor Nick Longhi has the enviable task about getting behind the wheel of the V12 racer in this video, and he says it doesn't drive the way you might think. The P4 isn't out to bite drivers who aren't paying attention. Instead, he claims that the car just does everything right and helps the person at the controls be that much better.
Historically, the P4 was Ferrari's attempt in the 1967 season to take on the dominating Ford GT40. The Prancing Horse's major achievement that year was a 1-2-3 finish in the 24 Hours of Daytona, but it couldn't quite beat the Ford at the famous race at Le Mans.

Ferrari, Maseratis trashed in Chinese off-road adventure

Tue, Apr 5 2016

Ready to cringe? A group of Chinese motorists drove the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in a fleet of Italian cars, fording streams and hopping rocky terrain as they went. Well, they attempted to drive it, anyway. Only five of the cars managed to survive the truly unnecessary ordeal. The trip was reportedly the idea of a wealthy Chinese businessman named Ni Haishan. Haishan was driving the red Ferrari F12, with his employees following in what appear to be 10 Maserati Ghibli sedans. The Maseratis were gifts to his employees, which makes the loss of six of them along the way only slightly easier to stomach. Even the cars that made it to the finish line in Lhasa, Tibet, arrived with some serious damage. The unsurprising fallout included several wheels and tires on the Ferrari, including one wheel that took the studs it was attached to with it. As you can see above, the "highway" route was not exactly suited to these particular cars. There is some precedent for a car from Maranello driving to Lhasa, however. In 2005, Ferrari sent two 612 Scagliettis on a tour of China called "Ferrari 15,000 Red Miles" with various journalists at the wheel. That journey started and ended in Shanghai and took the cars all over the vast country, including two crossings of the Gobi Desert, along the Great Wall, and on some of Marco Polo's route. Of course, it also involved a lot of planning, a huge support team, and at least a modicum of common sense. All of this was supposedly Haishan's way of showing the world that business is good for him and that customers should trust their money with him. We might conclude otherwise based on the results. If you absolutely have to run this road in something Italian and expensive, may we suggest a Maserati Levante next time?
