9500:MACHIAVELLI
The Machiavelli Max. It was built in 1986 by the Henderson Motor Corporation in Florida USA.This reproduction of the Ferrari GTB is so close to the original design that the Ferrari attorneys forced the Henderson Motor Corporation to stop making this car.This is NOT A KIT CAR. Machiavelli purchased brand new Pontiac Firebird Trans Am's and then blueprinted the V8 high performance engines, had Herb Adams (who did the suspension on the original Cobra's suspensions) rework the Trans Am suspension. Then the Ferrari designed type body was installed on the Trans Am chassis by trained craftsmen. The front end is steel except for the bonnet, which has original Ferrari steel air intakes. The entire rear end is steel with the exception of the rear hatch, which is fitted with steel Ferrari engine air vents. The front and rear bumpers are original Ferrari equipment. The car is fitted with burled walnut dash and Recaro tan leather seats. The transmission is General Motors 4 speed automatic with overdrive. The wheel are 16 x 8 aluminum. The car is FULL POWER: steering, brakes, seats, windows, door locks, delay wipers, am-fm disk player, cruise control, 2 rear fold up seats, electric trunk lock and release, electric adjustable mirrors, glass targa-top removable roof and the list goes on and on. PLEASE don't confuse this automobile with the little Fiero fiberglass kit cars.This is a FACTORY PRODUCTION AUTOMOBILE installed on a brand new General Motors chassis. When Machiavelli sold these cars in the late 1980s they cost over $35,000 and they were sold with a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty from General Motors on the entire drive train. The price includes WA rego and at less than half the cost of a 308
Thanks Machiavelli for your help ! Next step : # 9600, please. Thanks.
