ERA 1966 MK1 GULF BODY FORD GT40P2036 SPYDER/ROADSTER.   

 

The ERA GT 40 replica is generally regarded as one of the top GT40 replicas ever produced.  The ERA GT40 chassis is visually and structurally very similar, and in some cases, superior, to the original GT40 chassis.  ERA incorporates many improvements to implement the transition from pure race car to practical street transportation.  The chassis is a monocoque structure like the original, but instead of cold-rolled mild steel like the original, the ERA chassis is made of 14 to 20 gauge stainless steel, making it about 50 lbs. heavier than the original.  That’s a small price to pay for greatly increased corrosion resistance and reliability.  The chassis has been modified to allow left or right hand drive.  By narrowing the rocker panels slightly, more interior space and comfort was achieved.  Like the original, it has a built in structural roll bar.   The car being sold here has an additional MKII style full roll cage, making it even safer than the original street cars.

 

Unique and rare, one of one. 

Street legal - Very streetable and fun to drive.

Original GT40 Radiator.

5 point harnesses.

Raced at Road America, Road Atlanta, Roebling Road, Moroso.  Was invited to participate in the latest GT40 reunion at Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI.   This is a dual purpose car—a fun street car that can be driven to work daily, and which won’t embarrass you on the track.  Drive to the track, race it, and then drive it home; just like they did in the 60s.

Heidi Klum and Maserati go Beyond the Swimsuit for Sports Illustrated

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

When sports and cars come together, the world "super" often comes up - whether it's a high-performance super sports car, a racing series (like Japan's Super GT, Australia's V8 Supercars or Italy's Superstars series), the latest crop of Super Bowl ads from the world's automakers or a supermodel posing with a car in the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
This year's edition already saw Lisalla Montenegro cozying up to the new Lexus RC F, but it's not the only pairing to be found between an import luxury performance machine and a swimsuit model. The new 50th anniversary edition of the popular bikini special features a seven-page pictorial titled "Beyond the Swimsuit" shot by Francesco Carrozzini.
The spread features the inimitable Heidi Klum posing beside and inside various Maserati models - including the new Ghibli S Q4, the GranTurismo MC Trofeo race car and the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna concept. Of course it's not the first time we're seeing a leggy blonde stepping out of Modena's finest - a role often taken up by one Jodie Kidd, to say nothing of the rich and beautiful in exotic locales the world over - but it's a pairing of which we'll never grow tired.

Maserati's Super Bowl spot may have cost more than $700 per car [w/video]

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

It's no secret that Super Bowl ad time is very, very expensive, with a 30-second spot for this year's game costing around $4 million. For Maserati, which aired a 90-second spot showing off its new Ghibli sedan during this year's game, the price was considerably above $4 million, though.
Automotive News estimates that the spot cost Maserati the equivalent of over $700 for each of the 15,400 vehicles sold last year. That works out to nearly $11 million. It may have paid off, though, as search traffic for Maserati and the Ghibli in particular saw a significant spike following the airing of the stylish commercial, and the brand's total sales were already on target for record levels before the ad aired.
The Ghibli "deserved a wide audience platform such as the Super Bowl," according to Maserati's chief marketing officer, Saad Chehab. The sports sedan is Maserati's most affordable entry, with prices starting around $67,000, moving the brand further downmarket than it's ever ventured before.

2013 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale gets its groove, seats back

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale was exclusively a two-seater, but here in Geneva, the big Italian coupe gets its rear thrones back. We don't know if the addition of rear passenger space will help improve sales of this special trim of the aging GT, but it's at the very least an excuse for Maserati to shine a few lights on its gorgeous two-door.
Under that rakish carbon fiber bonnet is the same Ferrari-sourced 4.7-liter V8 we've loved for years now, tuned to 460 horsepower in this application and mated to Maserati's MC Race Shift six-speed automatic transmission. Other updates for the MC Stradale include new 20-inch alloy wheels and a smattering of new materials inside the cabin.
Yes, it feels like we write about some version of the GranTurismo every time we attend the Geneva Motor Show, but this car still tickles our fancy each and every time. Scroll down for the press blast and check out the four-seater for yourself in the high-resolution gallery.
