Hello exotic car lovers. We are selling our beloved and VERY rare 1986 Quattroporte with 22,000 original miles. This is the last year of the QPIII and is one of the best cars they made. This car is silver over tan (pumpkin) leather interior and nice tinted windows. The interior is in excellent condition, no rips or tears in the leather. Some minor spotting in the carpeting. All electronics work including the AC, it works great. All windows & lights work as does the remote trunk button. We just did a lot of maintenance on the car including AC system recharge, new rear door handle, oil change, tune up and much more. The paint is in very good condition, has a few tiny spots in the paint clearcoat on the roof but otherwise looks good. The car also has a few small dings that we are going to try and have removed before you pick the car up. This car has a 4.9 liter 288hp V8 engine with a Chrysler Torqueflight automatic transmission. The car is the fastest and best running QPIII we have ever driven. You could drive this car around the planet if you had a road long enough. It will run all day long and not overheat, even after sitting in 2 hours worth of Atlanta traffic. The only problem we are aware of is the hood struts will not hold the hood up and the interior hood release lever needs to be held to open the hood, it will not release both hood locks if you just pop the lever once.

This is our 5th Quattroporte and BY far the fastest. It does have a custom sport exhaust and is pretty loud but sounds absolutely glorious. Everything works as it should. Car gets a lot of attention and people just love it. Runs and drives perfectly and VERY smooth. Tires are in good shape. Car has never had any body work or accident damage. VERY VERY rare car, less than 100 of them were brought into the states in 1986. Cost $70k in 1986! Many QPIIIs appeared in lots of movies in the 80s and 90s. Its an amazing and fun car, folks love this car we get tons of thumbs up and smiles. We are Maserati Club Members and are multiple exotic car owners. The ONLY reason why we are selling it is because my elderly Dad cannot handle the car safely anymore. We have attended many car shows and Maserati and Ferrari Club events with it and its a hit everytime we show it! Its got a clear title and a crystal clear Carfax report. You are welcome to come see the car and drive it. If you need more pics, please let me know.

Car comes with tool kit, spare wheel, service receipts and some owner's/workshop manuals.

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.

Stirling Moss-crashed 1956 Maserati 450S to be auctioned in Monaco

Sun, 06 Apr 2014

RM Auctions has some very special and expensive Italian sportscars of the 50s and 60s consigned for its auction in Monaco on May 10, but the one that currently carries the highest estimated value at between 4 and 5.5 million euros ($5.5 - $7.5 million) is a 1956 Maserati 450S with some very interesting provenance.
The Maserati started its life as a six-cylinder 350S that Stirling Moss drove in the 1956 Mille Miglia race. Unfortunately, the brakes failed, and it crashed into a tree and nearly into a ravine. Moss and his co-driver weren't injured, but the car was kaputt.
Maserati repaired it and used the chassis as a test mule for its new 5.7-liter V8 racecar called the 450S. It featured an extended wheelbase to fit the larger engine and a new body with a single seat. The racer hit the track again at the hands of Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1957 Buenos Aires 1000 KM but retired with transmission issues. Later that season, it crashed again at the 1957 Mille Miglia at the hands of driver Jean Behra. After that, the car sat around the workshop until it was sold without an engine in 1965.

Maserati releases quartet of videos featuring new Quattroporte

Tue, 06 Nov 2012

In case you missed it, Maserati has decided to introduce the world to its next Quattroporte well ahead of its official debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January. As expected, it's beautiful.
Not content to leave well enough alone, the Italian automaker has revealed a series of videos to go along with the six images and press release it had already let loose upon the globe's unsuspecting automotive press.
We're still a bit shaky on the details, but Maserati says the Quattroporte's new engine, assembled by Ferrari in Maranello, will "[establish] new benchmarks for Maserati in terms of power and acceleration." That sounds good to us, though we're not sure if that means 530 horsepower as possibly alluded to by the license plate on the press shots. We also note that the automaker says the car is designed to accept "a wide range of engine architectures," so that rumored supercharged V6 sounds likely.
