1962 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk. Powered by a 289 CI 4 barrel engine and an automatic transmission. This Studebaker began it's life in California, in the Los Angeles area, and spent 28 years there, in 1990 it was driven to Missouri. Shortly after arriving in Missouri the car was sold and the new owner wanted to do a restoration. The transmission and rear end were rebuilt prior to leaving California so the new owner started with the engine, having it professionally completely rebuilt from oil pan to carburetor at a cost of $3,200.00 in 1992 from a reputable local shop. I have very good documentation on the engine rebuild with a list of new parts used and machine work. The new owner purchased historic license plates for the car and drove the car a total of 95 miles since the rebuild in 1992 to present. Most of the time the car has sat on a concrete slab beside his garage under a tree just watching the years roll by and slowly deteriorating. Through the years the car was started occasionally and later just turned over to keep it loose. The body on the car is very straight. The car appears to have had one repaint and the color changed from silver to white, this was a less than quality job and the white paint is flaking off in places. There is through rust low in both front fenders, there are rust bubbles starting to form in the front of both rear fenders, there is rust in the left hinge area of the hood and a crease from the hinge being stiff, there is rust along the lower lip of the deck lid. It would be best if the hood and deck lid could both be replaced, and the rest of the areas should be repairable. All of the glass is in tact, the wing windows are starting to bubble and there are some light wiper marks on the passenger side of the windshield, and the rest of the glass is excellent. The interior is the worst part of the car, the headliner has separated and is hanging down but all of the headliner trim is nice and still in place. The padded dash has a small split maybe 1" long. All of the seats are in place but need new covers, the door panels are in place but are starting to show wear, and the carpets are rotten and mostly removed so the floors can be seen. The front passenger floor is soft and has holes and will need to be replaced, and the rest of the floors are brown but are solid. The dash insturments are all in place as they should including the clock, the factory tach and the radio. The trunk floor is also very crusty, has holes and will also need work. The exterior trim is about 15% dinged up or pitted and about 85% excellent. Both bumpers are loosing chrome and the back one is bent, I do have a spare good front bumper. The grill and the aluminum trim on the deck lid is very nice. This Studebaker is equipped with power steering, Mark IV add-on A/C, bucket seats with a heater under the passenger seat, and a floor console. All of the tires have tread and the back two look brand new but the are all over 20 years old and dry rotted, but do hold air, all are on factory steel wheels with full wheel cover which are in good condition. The odometer reads 28,614 and I assume that is 128,614 but cannot document that. This is a complete car that I consider to be in very good condition for it's age and would make a great restoration project for someone to finish what was started 21 years ago, and remember that the engine only has 95 miles on it and the oil is still clean from that 1992 rebuild. The car is currently not running or road worthy and will need to be hauled to it's new home. I have tried to describe this old Studebaker to the best of me ability but have probably missed something that you would like to know, if so just ask. If you would like to inspect the car prior to the end of the auction again just ask and arrangements will be made. Car comes with a good Missouri title and a genuine 1959-1964 Studebaker shop manual. The winning bidder will be responsible for all transportation costs if needed, and I will help with arranging pickup and loading on this end.

Maserati Levante production starting next year, Alfieri could come within 28 months
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Maserati is on a roll. The new Ghibli and Quattroporte have been huge successes, and it unveiled the gorgeous Alfieri concept (pictured above) at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The next step for the brand is getting the Levante crossover into production.
"We are getting Mirafiori ready for production [of the Levante]. The first bodies are expected for 2015," said Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne to Reuters in Geneva. He also said that there isn't much keeping the Alfieri off the streets. "The platforms and motors are there. Technically, production could start in 24-28 months," he said. However, Marchionne refused to say whether the company would actually give the concept a green light to be built.
Fiat hopes to be profitable again by 2016, and while its acquisition of Chrysler is certainly going to help, rejuvenating Alfa Romeo and Maserati are also a major part of the plan. In 2013, the Italian luxury brand saw sales more than double to 15,400 vehicles. Maser is still far away from its goal of selling 50,000 units by 2015, but it's quite a start. Fiat bought Maserati in 1993, but business went through a decade or more of doldrums and falling sales. It appears that the century-old brand is finally finding a path forward with some gorgeous new cars.
All of the Bond cars of 'No Time To Die' (caution for spoilers)
Thu, Sep 30 2021Note: The following overview of the cars in No Time To Die contains spoilers. Read at your own risk, or come back after seeing the film to make sure you caught everything.  No Time To Die picks up right around where Spectre leaves us. James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) are driving along in Bond’s restored and iconic DB5 in Matera, Italy. Things donÂ’t stay all that cheery for long in picturesque Matera, though. As is tradition in Bond films, the first car chase hits us with an explosion of action in what's a super-long opening scene. Fourth-gen Maserati Quattroporte: The baddies in the beginning are driving a Maserati and chasing after Bond in the DB5. Specifically, theyÂ’re in a fourth-gen Quattroporte, which feels right for a chase scene in Italy. Its squared-off looks are mean enough, and its Italian growl is a good background soundtrack to the DB5Â’s inline-six. In addition to the Quattroporte, the chase scene in Matera is home to a couple of the best stunts of the entire movie, including the arch jump done with a Triumph motorcycle seen in trailers — Matera is extremely hilly. Eventually, Bond and Swann find themselves in the DB5 again together, which is where the famous gatling gun scene from the trailer commences, but not before the bulletproof windows and body of the DB5 are thoroughly tested. RIP to the first-gen Range Rover Classics and Jaguar XFs that joined the Maserati in pursuit of Bond (here's a list of other Bond cars over the years). As the DB5 escape scene concludes, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a Ferrari from the 1970s. However, the view was far enough away that weÂ’ll need a second look to be sure of the exact model. Land Rover Series III: Next time we see Bond, heÂ’s fishing in Jamaica and driving around a blue Land Rover Series III. ItÂ’s yet another of the many Land Rover products featured throughout the film, and unlike most of BondÂ’s Aston Martins, this one doesnÂ’t seem to have any unique features. The other intriguing vehicle out of Jamaica? An old Chevrolet Bel-Air expertly and effectively piloted by Bond newcomer, Ana de Armas. Next up, we get a few shots of the new and still-not-for-sale Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine supercar (also seen in trailers). BondÂ’s old boss M is in the scene which appears to have been shot in some secret wind tunnel of sorts. Much to our dismay, nobody ends up driving the Valhalla in the film. Could it be a teaser for what the next 007Â’s car is?
2017 Maserati Levante First Drive
Fri, Apr 29 2016You can argue all you want about whether or not certain companies should build crossovers. That's what the comments section is for. We'd argue that Maserati should have done it a long time ago, having shown its first crossover concept back in 2011 and only delivering on it now. Porsche blazed that trail with the Cayenne and others have followed suit since, racking up big sales. It's a little odd, then, that after waiting so long to get in the game, the Levante came together in just 22 months. Blame nationalism. The original plan was for the Levante to be based on and built in Detroit alongside the Jeep Grand Cherokee. That changed when Sergio Marchionne decided, in his dictatorial way, that all Maseratis and Alfa Romeos would be designed, engineered, and manufactured in Italy. So the team hit reset, borrowed the Ghibli platform, and went about creating a not-quite-a-crossover, taller-than-a-wagon hatchback with air suspension. Just shy of two years later, we're driving the Levante. In Italy, naturally. The dimensions and stance are what set the Levante apart from the abundance of luxury performance crossovers and emphasize its Italianness. It's longer, wider, and lower than a Porsche Cayenne or the Grand Cherokee it was nearly spawned from. The hood looks impossibly long in person because it is really long. The front end takes inspiration from the Alfieri concept, and there's a refreshing lack of mesh or filler between the grille's thin vertical slats. It can stand to be so open because there is a set of active grille shutters just behind to manage airflow. What would be usable cargo space on a blockier crossover is sacrificed by a rakish hatch, which looks pretty and we're told routes air in a particularly aerodynamic-friendly fashion. Instead of building the boxy version first, Maserati took the gamble and went straight to the fashionable coupe-ish shape. That foresight paid off, as it seems the coupe-like SUV trend is here to stay. For all the scrambling that must have gone on to produce this new model so quickly, it doesn't present like a rush job. Sure, most of the engineering was already done for the Ghibli and Quattroporte, but the Levante actually feels like a more complete effort than those cars. The attention to detail is most felt in the cabin, where the latest corporate infotainment system has been neatly integrated into familiar surroundings.
