Casa Grande, Arizona, United States
|
Beck replica of 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, built in 2007 and titled in Arizona as a 1955 Porsche Special Construction. Title allows car to be exempt from emissions inspection and eligible for historic license plates in Arizona. Not sure how that will transfer to other states. Indicated "mileage" on the odometer is actually kilometers and not miles. Less than 2300 km is less than 1430 miles. This vehicle has been seldom driven over the past 7 years.
Original owner. Purchased from Special Edition in 2007, who uses the original Beck design which is the best replica made of this classic car and matches the original DOM tube side frame and chassis design. Beautifully made car. This is not a cheaper copy using a cage frame or VW pan conversion. Fun car to drive and a real eye catcher. Custom built 1985cc VW-based Type-1 engine with 90mm bore x 78mm stroke. All new components, not just simply a rebuilt engine. Dual Weber 44 IDF carbs with electric fuel pump, MSD 6A ignition and 12V alternator. High Flow 044 Heads with Engle W110 camshaft and lightened flywheel. Custom 4-into-1 exhaust with triple resonators for better exhaust flow and lower sound level than the typical 4-into-2-into-1 setup. Design power output approximately 130 hp. Custom built all new 4-speed transaxle with 4.11 final drive. Unique Bahia/Indio Red exterior color with Whiskey Tan interior. Gold colored Porsche badges. Racing mirrors on both sides. Borbet alloy wheels and Falken Ziex 195/60R14 tires. Disk brakes on all four wheels. Front/Rear suspension height adjustable. Prepared to compete in SCCA Solo autocross competition classes under either the DM or EM (with added ballast). Master power switch behind passenger seat. Also included is a removable 3-point roll bar built to SCCA autocross specifications with a custom tan tonneau cover that fits around the bars. Suspension and alignment currently optimized for autocross. Complete with removable tan canvas top and side screens. Front trunk designed to hold the top, side curtains and tonneau cover inside the lower nose section. Approximately 2300 km of total use. Professional appraisal done in 2009 resulted in a $36,950 value. Current list price for a new turn-key version like this one from Special Edition is over $38000.

Mysterious Maserati test mule could be upcoming Alfa Romeo Giulia
Mon, Dec 8 2014Well well well, what have we here? The truth is that we don't know. It seems to be a Maserati Ghibli, but since that model is already out on the market, we're likely looking at something else. Just what is the question, and the answer likely lies in the wheelbase. While this test mule, spied undergoing cold-weather testing in northern Sweden, is clearly wearing the bodywork (and likely most of the mechanical bits) from the Ghibli, it's riding on a shortened wheelbase. Which tells us this could be one of two things: it's likely to be a test mule either for the upcoming Maserati Alfieri sports car, or for the new Alfa Romeo Giulia. The Alfieri was presented in concept form at the Geneva Motor Show back in March, foreshadowing a new sports car to serve as a halo model in the Maserati lineup. The production version is expected to be smaller and nimbler than the existing GranTurismo and positioned against the likes of the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type and Mercedes-AMG GT, to name just a few. The Giulia, meanwhile, is slated to be the first all-new Alfa Romeo since the arrival of the 4C last year and the Italian marque's first mainstream model since the launch of the Giulietta in 2010. The new sedan is expected to go after the likes of the BMW 3 Series and the new Jaguar XE, slotting in below the larger Maserati Ghibli that seeks to challenge the 5 Series and XF. If this is indeed a test mule for the new Alfa sedan, the quad tailpipes would seem, as our spy photographers point out, to indicate it's laying the groundwork for the GTA performance version. One way or another, there's something enticing to be coming soon from Italy, so watch this space.
Maserati Alfieri Concept draws from the brand's past, looks to its future
Tue, 04 Mar 2014We may be just as (if not more) used to the idea of Maserati making four-door passenger cars as we are of Porsche or Aston Martin doing the same, but the Trident marque is no less routed in producing sports cars than its German and British rivals. The trouble is that, now seven years on the market, the GranTurismo is Maserati's only two-door model, and it's growing a little long in the tooth to serve as the brand's halo car. Especially when it starts looking back at its history on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. So to mark the milestone, and reconnect with its more sporting past, Maserati has rolled in to Geneva with the concept car you see here.
It's called the Alfieri, and we've been anticipating its unveiling since (if not long before) rumors surfaced last week of its impending arrival, followed by confirmation from the manufacturer and the leaked images we brought you mere hours ago. But now it's been unveiled in the metal.
The Alfieri's wheelbase is 9.5 shorter than the GranTurismo, but packs the same 4.7-liter naturally-aspirated V8.
Little Red Racing Car Kickstarter project a father/son affair [w/video]
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Tales of fathers and sons, whether told for adults or for children, never go out of style. It's appropriate then that The Little Red Racing Car, a story about a father and son finding and restoring a 1955 Maserati 300S, is such a stylish piece of work.
Author Dwight Knowlton first started working on The Little Red Racing Car when, after his son was born, he "went looking for the perfect Father/Son/Car book" and couldn't find one. Knowlton's artwork in has been influenced heavily by vintage automotive advertising and Grand Prix posters, and has a very clean, art deco vibe as a result.
Of course, TLRRC is still just a work in progress. Knowlton is hoping the Kickstarter community will help to get the ball rolling, and raise $25,000 to the book printed and distributed. The author even has a stretch goal to have the whole shebang made into and animated film - we love big dreams. Follow on below to hear Knowlton's pitch in his own words, or jump over to his Kickstarter page to look further or buy-in.
