Attractive entry price into the Ferrari world

The Ferrari F430 was produced as successor to the Ferrari 360 from 2004 to 2009. At the time of its presentation, it was the latest of a series of sports cars from the famous Maranello stable. It featured the Ferrari F136 engine, a V8 with 4.3 litres of capacity – hence the model designation. The engine was a completely new development, while all previous Ferrari V8’s had essentially been descendants of the Dino racing cars of the 1950s. With 360 kW (490 hp) of power, the car was able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, a full 0.6 seconds faster than its predecessor.
The F430 was again available in the two familiar body styles, coupé and spider. The convertible’s soft top is electrically actuated and folds away in a compartment above the engine bay.
It needs to be stated that the racing variants of the F430, the F430 GTC and GT3, were highly successful in motor sports.

Unforgotten: The TV spot in which an Audi 100 drives up the Pitkävuori ski jump in Kaipola, Finland. It was the 3rd generation of the Audi 100, internally called C3 or Type 44, which was launched in 1982 and is still known today for its economy, high build quality and durability: mileages in excess of 500,000 km are not uncommon. The “aerodynamics world champion” among the series-production vehicles achieved the astonishing drag coefficient of only 0.30. Its body was initially approx. 35% galvanized and from 1985 onwards completely galvanized. One year after its introduction, the Avant joined the lineup, now as a station wagon, not a hatchback sedan as in the C2. In January 1990, the TDI engine was introduced, a diesel engine with direct injection: Audi is considered the pioneer of this technology. The C3 was offered with a total of 20 different engine variants. The choice of equipment combinations was also very large. In 1990, the manufacturer presented the Audi duo, a production-ready hybrid test vehicle based on the Audi 100 Avant quattro, which had a 2.3-liter five-cylinder combustion engine with 100 kW (136 bhp) and a DC engine.
A total of just under 1.1 million type C3 vehicles were produced, comparatively many of which are in the hands of enthusiasts. It is also worth mentioning that the C3 was produced under license in China until 1999.

Not only in the sixties, but also today all the way up front … at least when it comes to acceleration.

This Ford Falcon has been extensively modified, both technically as well as optically, while paint and chrome remain largely in their original condition with a suitable degree of patina.

Engine-wise, the convertible was completely rebuilt, with a powerful ci 302 or 5.0-litre 8-cylinder engine. A check on the test-bed showed a power output of 269 hp (SAE). The 5-speed transmission and suspension have apparently also been modified. The measures taken are extensively documented.

The vehicle is cleared through customs and has the American title.

Presumably, this is the only Falcon of its kind in all of Europe.

Towards the end of the 1950s, the American car manufacturers all faced the same problem: They had focused on the – once lucrative – business with large vehicles, while neglecting the segment of the (lower) middle class, which was effectively left to the European competitors.

Ford took counter measures with the Falcon: A vehicle which was “compact” by American standards, even if anywhere else on the globe it would have been considered fully-fledged middle class. The Falcon was a success, especially with younger buyers or families looking for a second car. It was available as 2- and 4-door sedan, station wagon, as pick-up, hardtop or convertible, with six-cylinder engines or later also as a V8.

After a construction period of a decade, including two facelifts (1964 and 1966), the Falcon was sent into retirement and has long since been a popular classic.
