Five years later, the Ferrari 308 GTSi arrived on the market, powered by a V8 engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, which reduced emissions.

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera is for sale

Lately we can see a large number of modified cars fetching a great price at auctions. Some of them are not so well done, but there are also those that even the biggest opponents of modifications would like to own. One such is the 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera with RS specifications that is being auctioned.

Under the hood is an air-cooled 2.7-liter flat-six engine that was rebuilt and assembled by a California company, Competition Engineering Lake Isabella, while assembly was completed by an Oregon company, Dick Elverud. Last year, it was serviced when the valves were adjusted, the fuel pump was replaced, the oil, spark plugs and valve cover gaskets were changed, and the PerTronix ignition system was installed. The engine is paired with a five-speed 915 manual transmission that delivers power to the rear wheels. It’s mounted on 930-specification 16″ Fuchs wheels wrapped in 205/55 and 245/45 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires.

This car is finished in Grand Prix White, well maintained and in excellent condition. It is equipped with a sunroof, a steel RS ducktail spoiler, a front lip spoiler, amber rear corner lights, European-market headlights, fog lights, custom dual-outlet rear valance, polished-aluminum aluminum trailing arms, powder-coated suspension components, Bilstein dampers at all four corners, four-wheel discs with cross-drilled rotors and stainless-steel brake hoses.

Inside, the seats are trimmed with black upholstery, while black leather covers the door panels and the dashboard to which the fuel and electrical system shut-off switches have been added. In front of the driver is a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 3,813 miles.

The car comes with service records, owner’s manuals, a Porsche Production Specifications document, and a Montana title in the name of the owner’s LLC.

The auction ends on February 17th and the current highest bid is $130,000 USD.

Rare 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S for sale

In 1966, Ferrari unveiled the sports prototype Dino 206 S. 50 homologated examples of this car were needed so that Ferrari could compete in the Sport 2.0 L Group 4 category. However, Ferrari only produced 18 examples and had to continue the competition in the Prototype 2.0-liter class instead. Only two examples were fitted with the most powerful Tipo 233 engine and one of them, the 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S, is for sale.

This car is in good condition and has chassis number 82. It was delivered to engineer Corrado Ferlain. Ferrari historian Marcel Massini researched the car’s history and discovered that it competed in several hill climbs between 1966 and 1967. After being serviced at the Ferrari factory in November 1968, the car changed hands several times before being purchased by collector Pierre Bardinon in 1979. Since then it has been part of some of the finest collections of Ferrari cars in the world. Jacques Setton bought the car in the 1980s and later sold it to a British collector. The Ferrari was then restored in Great Britain in 2003, after which it was transported to the USA.

The Ferrari Dino 206 S is powered by a 2.0L V6 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. In 2014, the car was restored at the Ferrari factory, where it received the Red Book certificate, which confirms the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox.

This very rare car will be auctioned between February 15th and 17th at RM Sotheby’s. The value of the car has not been estimated but is expected to reach seven figures.
