1956 Porsche 550 Spyder Thunder Ranch Body & Frame Project Car on 2040-cars
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, United States
|
Selling my Thunder Ranch 550/A wide body Spyder project car for health reasons. I bought it from Thunder Ranch about 6 years ago for $10,000. for body and frame.
Please see all the parts I have in the photos. I think I have about $12,300 in it as you see it in the photos. I have done extensive mods, suspension and body wise, but if you want to return it to original T/H design I have all the parts that I removed. I also have the doors, hood & hardware but I have them hanging in the garage. I Have: 2 Wilwood rotors & hats custom drilled for Porsche 1 Wilwood caliper Steering rack & shafts 3 Wilwood master cylinders 2 Fibersteel fiberglass seats custom shifter Parking lights & tail lights License plate light Front spindles (944) Front & Rear hubs (944) Custom pedals from Australia (GT 40 ford) Turn signal switch (VW) I was going to make the suspension totally custom, front A-arms w/inboard shocks. Rear is a copy of a Porsche 917. This car is supposed to be a 6cyl. Porsche, but you could probably make it a 4cyl if you wanted to. I sold the engine, trans, and wheels from a 1985 Carrera a few weeks ago on ebay. Just ask if you have any questions. |

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.
Maserati Ghibli gets smashed on its way to Top Safety Pick rating [w/video]
Sat, 30 Nov 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has crash-tested the 2014 Maserati Ghibli, and the Italian luxury sedan scored has well enough to earn the institute's Top Safety Pick rating. The model netted "Good" marks - the IIHS' highest rating - in moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats tests.
The new Maserati is equipped seven airbags and features strategic use of hot-formed steel to optimize vehicle strength for safety and aluminum to lower weight for better driving performance. While it still pains us to see two new Maseratis smashed to smithereens (watch the videos below), we imagine the company's well-heeled prospective owners will feel better about their $65,600+ purchases knowing that they aced the tests.
Head on below to see crash test videos from both the IIHS and Europe's NCAP, as well as for Maserati's official release, which covers some of the safety engineering that has gone into its new entry-level sedan.
Maserati's small two-seater could arrive by 2016
Mon, 13 May 2013As a following act to the redesigned Quattroporte and the recently unveiled 2014 Maserati Ghibli, Maserati will be releasing a slew of new products in the coming years, including the next-generation GranTurismo, the all-new Levante SUV and a new 911-fighting coupe - possibly called Gran Sport. While all of this information was detailed last year in a leaked product plan document, there were no dates associated with any of the new products. Auto Express is now reporting that the new GranTurismo will be out in 2015 and the new smaller coupe is expected out in 2016.
According to the report, the new coupe will be smaller and sportier than the GranTurismo, and it will feature a mid-engine layout with a platform that isn't shared with the Alfa Romeo 4C. This product onslaught is a part of Maserati's plan to increase sales to 50,000 units globally by 2015.
