~$22,900 I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car will be for sale locally for the same price. If you have any questions I can be reached at (6l9)..288..6O12. 

~A little about the model.... The RSK-718 followed the class winning 550. In 1957 the factory, the factory decided that the 550 Spyder had reached 100% potential. The new car was called the RSK. RS for Rennsport and K for shape of the front suspension. The type 718 was born. Only about 16 of these cars were ever built and 4 of which were the factory race cars. The last two pics in my ad are of real RSK's with a price tag of over $3.25 million! 

~This is a beautiful 1957-1959 Porsche Spyder RSK-718. Its a very high quality replica. Built 1835cc backed by a 4 speed transmission. 2,000 miles on the entire car and driveline since built in 2000. Clean and clear title. Fully street legal with current plates and registration. 

~The body and paint are gorgeous! Laser straight with a very nice fit and finish. Its done its the factory silver color with blood red leather interior. Its was built on a completely rust free, California, 1969 VW pan and also titled as one. 

~The car is and absolute blast to drive! Engine fires right up, sounds great and is Faster Than Hell!  Transmission shifts smooth. Brakes are good. Interior looks brand new. The car is running the factory style race exhaust now but It also comes with a more street friendly short exhaust. I also have a tow bar that comes with car. If you want something that no body else has this is it! It draws a crowd everywhere and attracts tons of attention. 

~Specs: The engine uses only the following OEM VW parts: crankcase, strengthened and with 3/8" studs; flywheel, pushrods, tubes and rockers. That's it. All the rest are aftermarket stuff bought new: DeMello counterweighted crank, Mahle 92mm (1835cc) cylinders and pistons; CB Performance 044 heads (3/4" spark plugs, large stainless steel valves and high quality valve springs), solid rocker arm shafts; billet valve covers, Engle 110 cam, a mild torque grind profile; dual Solex single throat carburetors with K&N filters; 12v electric fuel pump; aluminum flywheel pulley; new Bosch starter and alternator; Melling cast iron, high volume oil pump; CB Performance stainless steel reusable oil filter. I had the engine assembled in a shop that builds Baja racers in SoCal. It is built for torque, not high rpm horsepower which can often be a nuisance in street driving. 

The transaxle was rebuilt by Transform in SoCal and has a Super Diff differential gear set, a close ration 4th gear and a taller overall gear ratio of 3.44 vs an OEM Bug having 3.89. The overall gearing allows the car to cruise at 75mph at 3000 rpm. It is a very quick car, not a Corvette beater but still very fast! 
Suspension new all around. Front brakes are Porsche 11" discs, Rear brakes are OEM drums. Shock absorbers were new at the time of construction, as were the wheels and Dunlop 15" radial tires. The car is kept indoors and has a custom-made, all weather cover, which serves as a sun cover when the car is parked on a daytime outing. It has full lights. 


~TERMS OF SALE - non refundable $1,000 deposit due 24 hours after auction ends. Car needs to be paid for in full within 3 days. I will do everything I can to make this a pleasant buying experience. Shipping is buyer's responsibility but I will be happy to assist if you like. Usually $300-$1200 door to door C.O.D. anywhere in the US. International buyers welcome. I can have the car transported to Los Angeles for overseas buyers. I encourage anybody who is interested to come look for themselves or send somebody. I live in San Diego and would be more than happy to pick you up at the airport to view the car in person. I do my best to represent and describe things honestly, accurately and to the best of my knowledge but at the end of the day this is still a classic car. This vehicle is being sold as-is, where is, with no warranty expressed written, or implied.

Maserati Ghibli GranLusso gets semi-autonomous tech and updated styling

Thu, Aug 24 2017

Maserati's littlest sedan is getting a little bit of a makeover in the form a new GranLusso trim for the Ghibli. It will make its official debut at the Chengdu auto show in China, and it mostly consists of aesthetic updates. Up front, the GranLusso gets a grille that has chrome vertical bars in addition to the surround. They also appear thicker and more aggressive. The lower grille has been reshaped, with the outboard openings sweeping up and out, creating more of a smile shape. The headlights are less busy, with a very narrow LED accent strip, and square-shaped projectors. Along the side, the GranLusso gets some badges to tell everyone you got the newest fanciest Ghibli. At the back, the rear bumper has been ever so slightly reshaped at the base. Maserati claims the changes make the car more aerodynamically efficient, but don't give specifics, and frankly we can't imagine the improvement nearly enough to make any real difference to the way the car drives or performs. Styling tweaks aren't the only addition to the GranLusso though. The car will feature some type of semi-autonomous or autonomous driving technology. Again, no specific details were given. We reached out to Maserati for an explanation, and they wouldn't elaborate, saying that there should be more info when it makes its debut at the Chengdu show. No release window or pricing were given either. Related Video:

Maserati returns to Indianapolis to commemorate historic win

Tue, 27 May 2014

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend, folks, and you know what that means: racing. There was the Monaco Grand Prix for Formula One fans, and back Stateside there was the Indianapolis 500. You might expect to see a name like Maserati pop up at the former more than the latter, but that wasn't always the case.
These days its all about Dallara chassis powered by Chevy or Honda, but over the course of a century there have been plenty of foreign automakers that have won the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. McLaren won it twice in the 1970s, Mercedes and Peugoet won during the race's pre-WWI infancy, and in between them Boyle Racing won it two years in a row with a Maserati chassis and engine.
The car was the Maserati 8CTF "Boyle Special," and its first win came 75 years ago. So to mark the occasion (as well as Maserati's 100th anniversary), the car was brought back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a revival lap. Unfortunately Wilbur Shaw, who won the Indy 500 three times (twice in the Maserati) and went on to be president of the speedway, died in a plane crash the day before his 52nd birthday in 1954. So in his place fellow three-time winner Johnny Rutherford took the wheel of the 8CTF in front of the gathered crowds.

Uber adds supercar rides in Singapore

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Order a ride through Uber and you'll have a choice between what kind of car you want or need: Uber Black for standard fare, Uber X for the lowest cost available, Uber Taxi to order a regular cab, Uber SUV if you need to move more people or even Uber Lux if you want a luxury town car service. But customers in Singapore now have another option: to be picked up in a Lamborghini or Maserati. The pilot program launched in collaboration with Dream Drive will allow customers to be picked up in either a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or a Maserati GranTurismo to get around the Southeast Asian city-state. Ordering up the Maser will set customers back 165 Singapore Dollars (equivalent of $120 USD) for the first 15 minutes and 7 SGD ($5.10) for every subsequent minute. The Lambo gets the same per-minute rate but begs a higher 200 SGD ($146) base rate. Uber and Dream Drive were even offering free rides over the weekend to launch the initiative. Those prices make riding around in an Italian exotic pretty pricey, especially since you don't actually get to drive them – just ride shotgun. But then cars are quite expensive to begin with in Singapore, where it costs over half a million in US dollars to get a new Maserati in the first place.
