This Vintage Spyder was manufactured in 2000 to full completion and is equipped with a high performance CB Performance 1915 cc Air Cooled Engine. The car is a beautiful German Racing Silver over a bright red interior. The options list when ordered included the RS package, helmet rest, 3.44 gear, and tonneau cover. A car cover is included as well. The car has been driven 4200 professionally maintained miles and at 1300 pounds moves briskly by the dynoed 133 horsepower engine. CB Performance 044 heads and forged Hi Po internals allow the engine to rev willingly and safely. The dual Weber IDF 40's have a recent rebuild and tune have four inch Velocity Stacks and also K and N filters included as well. The exhaust system is a four into one sytem that sounds beautiful as the throttle is floored. A 911 style cooling shroud and chrome Valve Covers and Starter make for a beautiful engine bay. The frame is a coated alloy and held on the ground by Aldan Adjustable Racing shocks and 15" five lug Chrome wheels and Dunlop Radials. VDO gauges complete the interior.
I love this car and feel the fit and finish is up to the highest standard to please the most detailed eye. The car has had two collector owners and spent its life in Palm Springs until August of 2012. I drive the car regularly and even at 6' 2" find it comfortable on road trips. The paint is very nice as is the interior, until I bought the car it had never been driven in rain. The car will come detailed and have a fresh service to include valve adjustment. The questions and looks this car attracts really surprised me. One question that some ask is if it is a kit car, and the answer is no, emphatically, Vintage Spyders hand built this car to completion to include the engine install to the highest of standards. She runs, she handles, and she's just a lot of fun. If you have any questions please feel free to ask as many as you wish.

2014 Maserati Ghibli

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Italy Passionately Returns To The Sport Sedan Game
In its 99-year history, Maserati has arguably never made a vehicle as important as this all-new Ghibli.
Of course, there have been countless styling breakthroughs, mechanical advances and technical innovations, but no single passenger car has been required to bear the weight of the Italian company like its brand-new sport sedan. If the Ghibli succeeds, Maserati will welcome tens of thousands of new customers and, most importantly, celebrate a rekindled relationship with demanding North American buyers. If the Ghibli fails - well, the truth is, nobody has written an option for failure.

Hear the Maserati Alfieri clear its throat at Villa d'Este

Tue, 27 May 2014

We know that Maserati will eventually bring a version of its Alfieri Concept to the road, as a next-generation production model slated to arrive in 2016. Shown at the Concours d'Elegance at Villa d'Este, the Alfieri wowed spectators with its throaty singing voice, releasing a few barks and a very racy idle note. Sadly, we know it won't sound exactly like this when it goes on sale.
See, Maserati is adopting a V6-only plan with the Alfieri, so the 4.7-liter V8 shown in the concept and adopted from the GranTurismo, isn't going to make be available in the production model. That's not to say the production car will sound bad - we've every reason to believe it won't - but that this isn't an accurate representation of what the 2016 Alfieri will sound like.
Take a listen and a look at the video down below, then hop into Comments and let us know what you think.

Maserati Alfieri Concept draws from the brand's past, looks to its future

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

We may be just as (if not more) used to the idea of Maserati making four-door passenger cars as we are of Porsche or Aston Martin doing the same, but the Trident marque is no less routed in producing sports cars than its German and British rivals. The trouble is that, now seven years on the market, the GranTurismo is Maserati's only two-door model, and it's growing a little long in the tooth to serve as the brand's halo car. Especially when it starts looking back at its history on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. So to mark the milestone, and reconnect with its more sporting past, Maserati has rolled in to Geneva with the concept car you see here.
It's called the Alfieri, and we've been anticipating its unveiling since (if not long before) rumors surfaced last week of its impending arrival, followed by confirmation from the manufacturer and the leaked images we brought you mere hours ago. But now it's been unveiled in the metal.
The Alfieri's wheelbase is 9.5 shorter than the GranTurismo, but packs the same 4.7-liter naturally-aspirated V8.
