Ferrari 360 Limousine for Sale on eBay

Remember the Ferrari 360 Limousine that created havoc a few months ago after the Italian supercar maker threatened to sue the British company that made it if it didn’t remove the Ferrari badges and logos (click here)? Well, that car is up for sale on eBay now by “StylishLimousines”. We’re not aware of what happened with Ferrari’s legal threats, but the 20 foot 360 Limo pictured on eBay has all its logos and badges intact. In case you’re wondering, the “Buy it Now” price on eBay is a staggering $250,000.

On a side note, as we visited “StylishLimousines” site to gather high res pics of the car, we discovered that our article on Ferrari’s threats was posted as is on the company’s site. To our surprise though, “StylishLimousines” referred a site called “dvorak” as the source. Nothing new, meaning that it’s not the first time that Carscoop’s articles have been stolen, but we did send “StylishLimousines” an email to correct the injustice. Let’s see if they respond… -More pics after the jump

Original Knight Rider KITT “Super Pursuit Mode” for Sale on eBay

One of the original vehicles from the popular mid-80’s Knight RiderTV series has been put up for sale on eBay. According to the seller, the specific 1984 Pontiac Trans Am KITT was initially introduced in the third season of the series and then re-converted to simulate the "Super Pursuit Mode" variant of KITT that debuted in the 4th season. The vehicle was also used in the Knight Rider Television Movie (1984) and for exhibition and promotional purposes.

As many of you might remember, the "Super Pursuit Mode" variant of KITT was supposedly a stupendously fast version designed to reach speeds of 300mph or 482 km/h through the assistance of retractable airfoils and jet boosters. While we prefer the appearance of the standard KITT, nevertheless, the "Super Pursuit Mode" variant was one of our childhood heroes and as such, we wouldn’t mind seeing it in our garage. -More pics after the jump

Craigslist Car Scams: A few Tips from Carscoop

At some point we’re pretty sure that most of you have searched Craigslist for a used car – among other producst / services that is. We’ve been checking it out a lot lately as yours truly is (still) searching for an inexpensive RWD coupe. Unfortunately, there are plenty of scam artists on Craigslist who want nothing more than to con you into sending them money and/or your personal info.

The two golden rules as stated by Craigslist, is to deal with local folks that you can meet in person and never ever, send any personal information or money to some random guy you contacted through e-mail. Most of the times scammers are flogged by users and removed from Craigslist, but there are some cases that this doesn’t happen.

For example, look at the Nissan 300ZX pictured above that has 55k miles priced at a mere $4,100. Sounds like a pretty great deal right? Wrong, it's a scam. We’ve been flogging it for the past few days without any success. It’s still there. -Continued after the jump

But how can you detect a scam? Well, for one, email the seller asking for the exact location of the car if its not stated in the post. If it's a scam, the poster will a) not reply or b), he will tell you that the car is located somewhere far-away and that he will ship it to you once you wire him the money.

However, before we send an e-mail to inquire additional info, the first thing you should do is perform a search on Google –eg. "Nissan 300ZX - $4100". Usually, scammers post the same exact article/header/pictures in several cities, which means that if you find the same car located on Craigslist in New York and Los Angeles, then something fishy is going on.

If you’re looking for a special model like the 300ZX, you can also perform a quick check on eBay Motors. That’s how we discovered that this particular green 300ZX located in the Boston area on Craigslist is also for sale in Sarasota, Florida with a “Buy it Now” price of $9,700...

16-Year-Old Wins eBay Motors’ 445Hp Ford Mustang GRID

A couple of weeks ago we told you about the online competition launched by eBay Motors and the makers of the race game “GRID”. Well, the fastest of them all turned out to be 16-year old Timothy B. from Gretna Louisiana whose fastest lap time was 1:40:32. Timothy has plenty of reasons to be happy. To be exact, 445 horse-power related reasons as he won the grand prize that was none other than a real-life- version of the Ford Mustang GT-R that’s featured in the game.

The eBay liveried Ford Mustang GT-R has been heavily modified with a custom-made body kit, 20-inch GTR Concept alloy wheels, a race suspension, α race inspired side ported exhaust system and to top it all, a supercharged V8 engine with 445HP. Not a bad way to start your career as a driver. However, if we were his parents, just to be on the safe side as it’s one thing crashing your car on the laptop screen and another on a real life road barrier, we’d wait a few years before we’d allowed our 16-year old son to get his hands on a 445Hp beast. -More pics adter the jump

F(i)errari Dino Replica for sale on eBay

We’ve seen more Pontiac Fieros transformed into Italian supercars than the actual car itself, so even if this is the first time that we’ve laid our eyes on a classic Ferrari Dino variant, we can’t say that we’re surprised. Despite the fact that the Dino replica wouldn’t even come close to fooling any car aficionado, we’d give the owner a C+ for at least attempting to create something different. -Continued
