350-Powered ’33 Ford “Zipper” Roadster

This ’33 Ford is a Darrel Zipp-bodied fiberglass roadster that incorporated components from his 1932 Zipper Deuce body with a 1933 front end. This example was built around 1998 on a modified and boxed 1932 frame, and it is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car has a Kugel Komponents independent front end, a four-link rear with coilovers, and custom staggered Boyd Coddington wheels, and the Plum Crazy paintwork is complemented by color-coordinated accents in the gray cockpit. It also has front disc brakes, a Duvall-style windshield, and billet aluminum grilles. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this ’33 Zipper roadster is now offered with a clean Nevada title in the seller’s name.

Darrel Zipp used a fiberglass roadster that incorporated components from his 1932 Zipper Deuce body with a 1933 front end, and it is mounted on a modified 1932 frame. A Duvall-style windshield was utilized along with frenched taillights, billet aluminum grilles, and hidden turn signals and wipers. The seller states the Plum Crazy paintwork has been color-sanded and buffed.

The polished independent front end is from Kugel Komponents and has disc brakes as well as rack-and-pinion steering. Out back is an adjustable four-link setup, and coilovers were utilized all around.

The custom Boyd Coddington wheels measure 15″ up front and 17″ out back.

The cabin has bucket seats with gray upholstery accented by sueded burgundy cloth, and German square-weave carpeting lines the floors. A Pioneer head unit is fitted, though there are no speakers installed.

The trunk is finished to match the interior and has billet hinges for the lid.

The billet steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column. The seller has added about 200 of the 18k miles on the VDO cluster, which represents the distance driven since completion of the build.

The 350ci V8 has headers and an Edelbrock intake manifold.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission, and the seller notes a leak at the driveshaft seal. The dual exhaust system has polished tips.

The car is titled as a 1933 Ford using VIN 182596884.

Ferrari’s F80 Halo Car Gets Driven Hard

You have to wait a while for Ferrari to release one of its range-topping halo cars. Since the 1980s, there have only been a few: the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, and now the F80. Has the 12-year wait since the introduction of its predecessor been worth it? In the video below, experienced racer and automotive journalist Chris Harris tests the Prancing Horse on a track in Italy and the nearby public roads to find out.

Like the LaFerrari, the F80 is a hybrid, but the latter machine benefits from more than a decade of advancements. Some would argue the F80’s use of a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 is a major step down from a naturally aspirated V12, but the 900 horsepower the smaller engine delivers softens the blow. Plus, the electric front axle and electric motor add another 300, giving the F80 a 237-horsepower edge over the LaFerrari. As a result of those numbers and the instant spool of its dual e-turbos, the F80 is faster. Hitting 62 mph only takes 2.15 seconds (versus 2.9); doubling that speed requires a total of 5.75 seconds, which the LaFerrari can’t match.

Stats are great, but what is the F80 like to drive? Harris started out riding shotgun next to a Ferrari factory driver for a few laps around the Misano World Circuit. When he emerged from the cockpit after being thrown into high-speed curves, he described the F80 as “violent.” Once Harris got behind the wheel himself, he praised the instant response of the turbos, the way the steering builds up weight, the outstanding traction—the list goes on and on.

Despite its design, track prowess, and insane output, Ferrari identifies the F80 as a road car. Harris deems it an impressive road car for the surprisingly good ride quality from its Multimatic dampers.

Overall, Harris finds the F80 to be something fundamentally different from its competitors in a major way. What exactly is that? Watch the video below to find out—and see Harris turn some Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires into expensive smoke.

Interesting Finds: 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray LS5

It’s not every day that you see a big-block Corvette. In fact, it’s been more than 50 years since Chevrolet last offered a Corvette with a Mark IV V8. Luckily, we spotted this 1971 Stingray at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Auction. Not only was it restored and repainted in its original color of Steel Cities Gray, but it also had a massive LS5 454ci V8 that was factory-rated at 365 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. In addition to all that power, this C3 had plenty of conveniences, such as power steering, power windows, power brakes, air conditioning, and a Turbo Hydra-matic automatic transmission.

The highest bidder drove this big-block Vette home (probably leaving some burn-out marks along the way) for $66,000.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1979 International Scout II

The AutoHunter Spotlight for today is this restored 1979 International Scout II. Power comes from International’s 345ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include four-inch Rough Country lift kit, bucket seats and console, air conditioning, upgraded sound system, backup camera, and more. Painted gray with a black vinyl and plaid cloth interior, this 4WD proto-SUV is now offered by the selling dealer with a clear title.

The photogenic gray paint is new, as is the decal kit that adorns all four sides. Other exterior features include a tan softtop, dual chrome side mirrors, and white grille with matching bumpers front and rear. A set of 15-inch white and chrome wheels (with manual front locking hubs) are wrapped in 33×10.50 BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A off-road tires.

The redone black vinyl interior features front bucket seats with gray and red plaid cloth, plus matching door panels. Other interior features include power steering, air conditioning, center console, Bluetooth-compatible touchscreen stereo with back-up camera and upgraded sound system that includes MTX Audio subwoofers and Rockville amplifier. The red seat belts are a nice touch.

The instrument panel features a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for the oil pressure, temperature, alternator, and fuel. The odometer shows 10,601 miles, though the title reads mileage-exempt.

The 345ci V8 features a four-barrel carburetor, which developed 148 horsepower when new. It is backed by a Chrysler A-727 TorqueFlite, which International sourced since 1972. There also is a two-speed transfer case. The seller indicates that all seals were changed earlier this year.

The undercarriage features a four-inch Rough Country lift kit, power front disc brakes, and a dual exhaust system (originally, it was single). The brakes, gas tank with fuel lines, and exhaust system are new.

This 1979 International Scout II with 4WD currently listed on AutoHunter is a neat way to experience the ruggedness, 1970s style, and utility that only a Scout can give. Plus, as a cherry on top, the seller states (s)he is willing to assist with transportation to you once you win, so why not pull the trigger now and place a bid? Do it before Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT) because once the clock passes that threshold, you will no longer have that opportunity. Good luck!
