were on the car when purchased in 1985 and were either a special factory order
or installed by the original owner. Michelin
Hydro-Edge P195/70R-14 tires were mounted in March of 2007 and have
approximately 8000 miles on them now. The wire wheels do have some noticeable rust
on them. Original owner’s manual, tools, jack, Ferrari rain poncho, and service invoices dating from 1985 to present included. In October 2006 there was a complete engine overhaul; new
bearings, new cylinder liners, new stainless steel valves installed, rebuilt
water pump, resurface flywheel, reman clutch, rebuild carbs, reman axles, and
many other parts replaced. New A/C compressor, Dryer, Expansion Valve, and
converted to 134a Freon. Converted to single distributor with MSD 6 electronic
ignition. Replaced shocks. Rebuilt window motors and regulators, restring
window glass. Engine tuned to run on regular gas. Work performed by a Ferrari
mechanic in Dallas, contact information provided upon request. The motor runs
strong and carries good oil pressure. There are a few small oil leaks of
course. The paint is still shiny, with a few small hickeys here and
there and the interior looks good; a very presentable, mechanically sound
driver. A local experienced mechanic has done some work on the car and can
vouch for the current mechanical condition. Contact information on request. I am the third owner of this Ferrari and have had the good
fortune to have enjoyed it since 1985. A high school friend of mine was the
second owner and we drove the car in Arizona and southern California as well as
to Speed Week in Monterey in August several times over an almost 20 year
period. I purchased it from him in 2004 shortly before he passed away. It had
approximately 13,500 miles at that time and had been sitting for some time;
that is why the engine overhaul was done. It has approximately 24,500 miles
now. Unfortunately for me getting in and out of the car is becoming problematic
so I must find it a new, more limber owner. |

1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona is viceless in Miami Scottsdale at Barrett-Jackson
Sat, 19 Jan 2013
We love the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. It's most definitely a classic, made famous in part by its appearance as Don Johnson's favored ride in the classic '80s television series Miami Vice... but we won't hold that against it.
The specific example you see above just crossed the block at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson extravaganza in Scottsdale, and it cleared a cool $495,000 after the buyer's commission was factored in. The 1972 Daytona features a sweet-sounding V12 engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
Plus, it's brown, with a tan interior. Stunning. Check it out in our high-res image gallery above, and be sure to read through its official auction description below.
Ferrari Testarossa featured in retrospective by owner Harry Metcalfe
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Harry Metcalfe, of Evo fame, got our attention earlier this week with a review of the 1954 Series I Land Rover. Today, he's gone a bit more... '80s.
Yes, this is a 1987 Ferrari Testarossa, one of the most vulgar cars from a decade synonymous with vulgar design. While your author might not be keen on its square rear end and cheese-grater doors and fenders, Metcalfe seems to like it quite a bit, giving a detailed walkthrough of his Rosso Corsa subject. That walkthrough includes some time on a subject we can certainly get behind - the TR's flat-12 engine.
Take a look at the latest from Harry's Garage.
Ferrari LaFerrari is beautifully redundant
Tue, 05 Mar 2013
The successor the Ferrari Enzo has officially bowed. Ferrari pulled the sheets back on the oddly named LaFerrari at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, calling the machine the "maximum expression" of what defines the automaker. In this case, that includes a 6.3-liter V12 engine with 789 horsepower married to a 160-hp electric motor. The combination is good for a full 949 hp and 663 pound-feet of torque, and Ferrari says the LaFerrari can punch to 62 miles per hour in under three seconds. Keep your foot planted and 124 mph will click by in a scant seven seconds, while top speed sits at a lofty 205 mph.
Engineers turned to a total of four different types of hand-laminatated carbon fiber to create a chassis that's both stiffer and lighter than would have otherwise been possible. With a 41/59 weight distribution, carbon-ceramic brakes and ultra-light calipers, the LaFerrari is unlike anything we've seen from the company to date. The automaker says its creation is the fastest in its long history. You can take a look at the in-depth press release below for more information, and be sure to check out the model's new site here.
