2003 Ferrari 360 Modena is up for auction

In 1999, Ferrari introduced a new sporty two-seater as the successor to the Ferrari F355, the Ferrari 360. It was produced until 2004, in two body types: Berlinetta (Modena) and Spider, and 16,365 units left the assembly line. One of them, a 2003 Ferrari 360 Modena is up for auction.

360 Modena is powered by a mid-mounted 3.6-liter Tipo F131 V8 engine with a factory output of 395 hp (290 kW) and 275 lb-ft (373 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car is mounted on 18″ two-piece BBS alloy wheels wrapped in 215/45 front and 275/40 rear Bridgestone Potenza tires.

This car is finished in Rosso Corsa, well maintained and in good condition with only 8,514 miles on the odometer. It is equipped with an aluminum body, xenon headlights, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, a body-color rear grille, side air intakes, quad exhaust outlets exiting through the rear fascia, and cross-drilled and ventilated rotors at each corner. At the beginning of 2023, a service was performed, which included changing the oil, flushing the coolant and brake fluid, and replacing the transaxle fluid, timing belts and tensioner pulleys, and spark plugs.

Inside, power-adjustable seats are upholstered in beige leather that also covers the door panels and the lower part of the dashboard, and there are also color-coordinated carpets. Additional equipment includes a gated shifter, aluminum pedals, a Kenwood stereo, and automatic climate control.

The car has a clean Carfax report that shows no accidents or other damage. It comes with partial service records, a car cover, and a clean Ohio title.

The auction ends on October 16 and the highest bid at the time of writing was $105,000 USD.

1964 Porsche 356C Coupe up for auction

Each Porsche is special in its own way, but when one of the examples of the Stuttgart-based company’s first production car appears on the market, the attention is greater. Such is the case with this 1964 Porsche 356C coupe up for auction.

This Porsche 356C is powered by a Type 616/15 air-cooled 1.6-liter Type 616/15 flat-four engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. It sits on chrome 15” wheels wrapped in 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.

The car is finished in black and is in pretty good condition. It is equipped with body-color bumpers with impact strips and chrome overriders as well as protective rocker-panel moldings, a driver’s side mirror, a retractable antenna, pop-out rear windows, twin engine grilles, gold badging, Bilstein shocks, dual Zenith carburetors, and brake discs at all four corners. In 2017, dent repairs were performed and the windshield and rear glass were replaced. In 2021, the engine was overhauled, which included rebuilding the carburetor and replacing the front pulley seal, distributor cap and rotor, generator stand gasket, and sending unit gasket.

Inside, the seats are covered in black leather, which also covers the door panels and the dashboard. In front of the driver is a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel behind which is a five-digit odometer showing 48,653 miles (total mileage is unknown). Additional equipment includes black carpets, a heater, a glove box, a VDO clock, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/SW push-button radio, rear luggage straps, sun visors, door pockets, and Coco floor mats.

The car comes with a tool kit, a Kardex report, service records, and a clean Oregon title.

The auction ends on October 20 and the highest bid at the time of writing is $46,000 USD.

Tesla Cybertruck sold for $400,000 USD

In 2019, Tesla presented its first and so far only electric full-size pickup truck, the Cybertruck. Tesla announced that it has received two million orders, and interestingly, not a single copy has been delivered to the customer, at least not yet. However, one copy of the Tesla Cybertruck was recently sold at auction.

The Cybertruck was sold at the Petersen Museum auction for $400,000. Each guest paid $1,750 for a seat, while a table cost $17,500 or $30,000 for a premier table.

In July, American media reported that they heard a little earlier that Tesla had already informed suppliers to be ready for the start of production of the Cybertruck at the end of August, while delivery would begin by the end of the year.

Each potential customer needs to pay a deposit of only 100 dollars, so there is a possibility that a large number of reservations will not be realized. It will be interesting to see if the Cybertruck will be available outside of the North American market (Europe and Asia) where customers can already pre-order the model. Because of its size and weight, selling the Cybertruck in overseas markets could pose a serious challenge. For example, in several European countries it must be classified as a commercial truck or truck.

Cybertruck will be powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h). It has a range of up to 500 miles.
