    Reason #6. Since 1966, this is the simplified version of the Ferrari 330 GTS. Put both cars next to each other, you can see with the naked eye that they are almost same car. Even despite the breakdown of cooperation in 1946, Commendatore maintained friendly relations with the AR bosses. And periodically helped his former employers. According to rumors, it was his engineers who created the light version of the 330 GTS for AR But on several conditions. 1. No one should know that this car is originally from Maranello. Even relatives and friends of the employees who created the new Spider tried to remain silent; 2. No powerful engines. The maximum that Drake allowed was a 2-liter engine, also developed by Maranello engineers. Initially, 2.0 was intended only for the North American market. In Europe they wanted to produce and sell only 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7-liter versions. The only ones created by AR engineers. Everything else in the Spider, including the 2-liter engine and chassis, was created in Maranello; 3. No sports. If the 330 GTS was a true knight of sports roads, then the Spider should be its picnic, pleasure version; 4. Dimensions. The Spider is not only less powerful than its senior brother, but also more 'urban' and compact

    I currently own (20+ Years) and absolutely love everything about my 83 Rabbit GTI. As mentioned in the video it’s definitely an attention getter every where I go. The car never disappoints in sparking fantastic conversations and trips down memory lane. I spend most of my time at car gatherings answering questions and meeting new friends.

    My wife's grandfather, Frank Newton, raced the original at Brooklands. We have a mangled bit of metal presented to him, inscribed by 'E Dept of the Napier Motor Works' celebrating the Napier-FIAT match of August 3rd 1908. A Certificate from the Clerk of the Course notifies Frank that he lapped the circuit at 113.01mph on Whit Monday of that year in another race against the FIATs.

    I want to buy something classic. I want to be a mechanic so I don't think I will have trouble to fix it. I want to look from 1955 to 2005. I found a Dodge Regent from 1957 that I fall in love with. But I don't think I will have money to buy parts for it and it will sit and slowly die. Also I'm not sure how good an old car will drive in cold Canada winters, also rust, and old cars how I know have veey bad gas mileage. My dad suggest me to buy a SUV but I don't like SUV so much, they are soulless for me. I don't know what to do.

    • @andyreid8098

      The engines on these car routinely go about 150k miles or more on a top end. A top end, pistons, cylinders,and heads runs around 10 to 12k. A full split case rebuild could cost as much as 20k but will then easily cover 150k miles and if the correct and best quality parts, ARP studs and such are used they can cover more than 200k with only regular service needed

    I have owned probably 2 dozen 356, 912 and 911's including a 1982 930 Turbo up to a 1987 Carrera Targa, Guards Red of course. Loved them all but NONE of them had decent a/c or any kind of decent heat or windshield defrost capability short of killing me with carbon monoxide and even then you couldn't get windows to clear up or have decent heat on a very cold morning and once I hit a deep water puddle in the rain and the whole inside of the car instantly filled with fog, insane. The G50 of the 1987 Carrera was like shifting in molasses when very cold, much worse than the 915 transaxle.
