The golf courses surrounding Pebble Beach flood with Bentleys and Jaguars and exotic Italian cars every August, but there's only one Baja racer driven by Steve McQueen. And thanks to new owner James Glickenhaus, it's been upgraded to 100% street legal. More »

If you'll recall, Jim Glickenhaus's Ferrari P4/5 Competizione made its racing debut at this the Nürburgring 24 hour earlier this year. Since then, we've seen a few video clips, but this long-form video wrap of the event contains some never-before-seen racing footage. Jim, you've done it again. More »

Jim Glickenhaus’s not-for-sale bespoke racing Ferrari dropped by Lake Como the previous weekend for the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este after taking 13th at the 42. Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy at the Nürburgring the previous Saturday. Among the many nattily attired ladies in attendance, one made the perfect call to sync her dress with the mesh covering on the P4/5’s rear using a pair of fishnet pantyhose. The only thing missing were a pair of carbon fiber Zuzana Serbak pumps. More »

Not doing anything in the beginning of April? Want to see James Glickenhaus' Pininfarina-designed Ferrari P4/5? Feel like going to Bahrain? Now's your chance to scratch all those itches at once. Glickenhaus is heading to the U.A.E. for the 2008 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix on April 4th-6th. It's an event we're told will "play host to a mouth-watering array of machinery celebrating Ferrari's sixty years as a constructor of Formula One and sports racing cars."

As opposed to shutting cars away in garages merely to accrue value, the Glickster takes his unique vehicles outdoors where they accrue lust from car nuts like us. In the meantime, we'll just have to live vicariously through him in this interview from Garage419, which includes a great discussion of downforce-inducing exhaust designs. [Garage419] More »

Our New York homeboy James Glickenhaus, of Ferrari P4/5 fame, made a couple of choice modifications to his bespoke, Pininfarina-rebodied Ferrari Enzo. Apparently, after bombing through Sicily on the Targa Florio earlier this year, G-haus had some new exhaust tips installed during a routine teardown at Pininfarina. According to an e-mail exchange with Winding Road, he says the new shape improves airflow over the integrated rear wing. The exhaust system can also be manipulated between muffled and unmuffled (for track use) by way of a new bypass switch in the cockpit. Damned if that guys millionz aren't going to good use.

It's filmed in the backyard of Jalopnik's New York compound, in Westchester County (motto: Come watch our bond traders procreate!). He also describes the process of backing up a Brinks truck full of cash at the Pininfarina headquarters in exchange for their coachworks efforts, and Ferrari's reaction to his plan. All that and how his wife got to pick the seat cover fabrics. Haters step off, this is the feel-good hit of the year. – Mike Spinelli More »

Ah, to be Jim Glickenhaus, the only man ever to produce a Basket Case movie and have Pininfarina scan his body for a perfect fit in a custom Enzo-based car. We met him briefly in Paris last fall and he turned out to be a very nice, personable dude, always willing and ready to drop some science. Here he tells the story of the battle of wills contested between two titans of the automotive world: Hank The Deuce and Enzo Ferrari. Part I above, click the link for part II.

Ed Jim "Big Daddy" Glickenhaus has had a few months to toy with his Pininfarina-built, Enzo-based Ferrari P4/5, and the auto types over at Forbes commissioned Ted West (who did the Car and Driver P4/5 profile released just before the car's debut at Pebble Beach last summer) to speak with tha Glick about what the car's like to live with. He was careful not to dis the underlying Enzo, pointing out that the P4/5 is both an evolution and a result of technology that's four years newer. He then went on to point out that his machine is faster, louder and less likely to scrape on curbs than Ferrari's own basket-case-mad supercar. – Davey G. Johnson More »

Glickenhaus is the Ferrari collector who went and commissioned Pininfarina to build him a $3 million bespoke update of the Ferrari P4 over an Enzo chassis, the 612 P4/5. It'd appear that every time this car gets mentioned in the newspaper, it gets an upgrade of about half a million in the price tag. By Detroit, we're thinking they'll be pegging the price at about $9 million. As for Mr. Back In Black, wait for the always funny money shot at the end — we guarantee the punchline'll be worth it. – Ray Wert More »

Rich guy and Ferrari buff James Glickenhaus showed off his Pininfarina-designed Ferrari 612 P4/5 for the international media yesterday at the Paris show. This morning we caught the customized Enzo as it rode the turntable with obligatory Sultry Italian Model(TM), showing off its various bits. Glickenhaus also told us he was among the first to order one of Alfa Romeo's sexy new 8C Competizione models — which will sport a 4.7-liter 460-hp V8 — after Alfa opened its book on the model yesterday (no word on price). Between the Ferrari, Alfa and "Basket Case II," Big G is our new Captain Kangaroo. [Gallery] More »

As debutante balls go, this one was a doozy, featuring all manner of exotica and just plain expensica. While our favorite car in the building was Spyker honcho Victor Muller's three-place vintage Rolls with a wooden deck and a side-mounted gun-rack built for some maharajah or other, all eyes were on the stage for the unveiling of James Glickenhaus' Pininfarina designed-and-built P4/5. We've written about it ad nauseum, and pix from Pebble have already appeared on the site, so this post is essentially an addendum to illustrate the sheer madness as the great washed (you think they let the unwashed through the gates at Pebble Beach, son?) swarmed the magnificent vision in carbon fiber. Still, Jim, we've gotta give you shit on the horrid Jock Jams you cranked during the reveal. Next time you drop four mil on a custom car, call us. We'll set you straight on the tunes. H sker D 's "New Day Rising" seems like it would've been the natural choice for such an occasion. More »

Our techie brothers at Gizmodo took a look at James Glickenhaus's Pininfarina-designed, rebodied Ferrari Enzo, the P4/5. They turned an electric eye toward the bespoke model's gadgeted-up interior, which has a few more e-trinkets than does the donor Enzo, including vid-mo and iPod Nano.

On Monday we had Glickenhaus and his first-person account of driving his new custom Pininfarina — and now we've got the pictures. This 1960's 330 P4-inspired Ferrari is basically an Enzo that's been prettied up a bit by the boys and girls over at Pininifarina — and oh, how it has.
