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.

2023 Maserati MC20 Cielo First Drive Review: Fine-tuned from the top down

Fri, Oct 21 2022

CATANIA, Sicily — “We wanted to give the Cielo the same behavior and character as the MC20 but with the sharp edges made a little smoother,” explained Federico Landini, the man in charge of the MC20Â’s development. Cielo is the name Maserati chose for the convertible MC20 — it means “sky” in Italian and sounds less generic than Spider, Spyder or another arachnid-inspired label. This new version of MaseratiÂ’s first supercar in over a decade slots in the range as a softer, more touring-oriented alternative to the coupe. While the two MC20s look a lot alike, Maserati ensured the Cielo has its own personality. Same heart, different bones Like the MC20 coupe, the Cielo is powered by MaseratiÂ’s excellent 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine, which is twin-turbocharged to develop 621 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 538 pound-feet of torque from 3,000 to 5,500 rpm. While 600+ horsepower is par for the course in this segment, achieving that number with six cylinders is rather unusual. The engine develops 207 horsepower per liter of displacement. If every engine offered this level of power density, weÂ’d have a 414-horsepower Volkswagen Golf GTI to play with. This engine also powers variants of the Grecale SUV, though the MC20 models use a dry-sump lubrication system. Landini told me Maserati felt confident sending a V6 into a ring dominated by rivals with eight or more cylinders because it fitted the engine with both direct and indirect fuel injection systems. This innovative technology — which traces its roots to Formula One racing — adds pre-chambers inside the cylinder head and a second set of spark plugs to the 90-degree V6 to provide a 100-horsepower boost. Mid-mounted, the Nettuno spins the CieloÂ’s rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission linked to a pair of steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. Maserati quotes a 0-62-mph time of a little under 3 seconds and a top speed of approximately 199 mph, so the coupe is slightly quicker and faster. Giving up two or three tenths of a second to highway speeds and forfeiting a few miles per hour at the top end is a fair trade for unlimited headroom. Going topless also makes the Cielo about 143 pounds heavier than the coupe: it tips the scale at roughly 3,400 pounds, which remains reasonably light.

No surprise here, the Maserati Alfieri has been delayed again

Wed, Oct 19 2016

It happened again. Maserati has reportedly delay the gorgeous Alfieri coupe, the concept version of which made its debut way back at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. According to a report by Autocar, the 2+2 sports car has been put on the back-burner and is now expected to arrive in 2020 – at the earliest. Giulio Pastore, general manager of Maserati Europe, told Autocar that the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio are more vital to the automaker's lineup than the smaller Alfieri. Once Maserati replaces those aging models, it will then shift its focus onto the Alfieri, Pastore says. After the Alfieri concept was unveiled in 2014, reports emerged that it got the green light for production and that a production model would hit the road as soon as 2016. Then the delays started happening, with China's weakening car market as the culprit. More recently, a report claimed that Maserati would have the Alfieri on the road in 2018. With that now pushed back a few years, and the chance for more delays, the car might need a redesign before it goes into production.

Learn why this man has four different Maserati 3500GT classics

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

When you're born, it's impossible to know what sort of cars you'll be into as an adult. Your dad might be into old Mopars while your mom prefers a Ford Mustang. You, on the other hand, might end up being a fan of English cars (that was the case with your author, at least). Regardless of which vehicle type, era or marque you prefer, though, it's usually possible to trace back to the exact moment you fell in love with them.
For Frank Mandarano, his love of all things Maserati started at its birthplace in Italy, before spawning into a passion that saw him found a club and take possession of four 3500s over the years. One car in Mandrano's one-make collection stands out, though - a rare 3500GT that was imported into Mexico in 1960. It is a sweet sounding and gorgeous coupe to behold, making it the perfect subject for the crew at Petrolicious. Scroll down and have a look.
