Houston, Texas, United States
Can't drive 55? Viagra not working? Like to drive fast? You need this Maserati! This car is being sold "as is" with a clean Texas title and 100% of the money goes to Texas Husky Rescue. This great hard working group rescues Husky dogs.
Here we offer a hot little Maserati five speed convertible with twin turbos and a rare Nardi steering wheel that some people want $1800.00 or more for. This particular car has an excellent engine and both turbos are operating. These cars are extremely fast and lots of fun. This car has been in storage since 1997 and has been started and driven in a parking lot several times a year. The engine has Royal Purple synthetic oil. The inside of the oil pan is spotlessly clean. The car has a Alpine stereo with a CD changer in the trunk.
The Spyder was introduced in the Turin Motor Show in 1984. The car was designed and built by Zagato. The aluminum 90 degree SOHC Maserati V6 engine was roughly based on the 2.0L Merak engine based on earlier V8 Formula One Maserati engines designed by Giulio Alfieri
This Maserati had a great deal of expensive mechanical rebuilding work completed in the 1990’s such as the front suspension was rebuilt with new ball joints, KONI shocks and bushings. The steering system had the power steering pump and steering rack replaced along with the hoses. The tie rod ends were replaced as well. The front end has been aligned.
1. The front and rear brake calipers were removed and rebuilt with new pistons, brake hoses, brake pads and all four brake rotors were replaced. The front wheel bearings were replaced.
2.The engine received valve cover gaskets with the valves being adjusted. The fuel injectors were removed and cleaned. The spark plugs, cap, rotor and ignition cables were replaced. The oil pan was removed and cleaned. A new timing belt was installed. New motor mounts were installed.
3.A new factory muffler was installed with new hangers
4.New radiator hoses were installed along with a new radiator
5.A new fuse box was installed with a new starter
The car needs:
1. new battery ( available anywhere)
2. new tires (common size)
3. new top ( We can supply a new factory top)
4. a dash clock ( available upon special order)
5, clutch master cylinder rebuild (The car has a new slave cylinder.) 6. repaint
The first and previous owner ( same fellow) of this car spent $20,400 on various mechanical rebuilding work and the car was placed into storage. His loss is your gain.The interior is the original leather with no rips. This car is very tight, handles very well and the engine runs extremely strong. For sale without reserve, get yourself a real bargain on a classic convertible and all the money goes to Texas Husky Rescue. We have lots more photos and can send them right to you.

Slow Chinese market delays Maserati and Alfa Romeo models
Thu, Dec 3 2015We already told you that Alfa Romeo was delaying the Giulia sedan and an unnamed CUV, but now things are getting worse. According to Bloomberg, Maserati has delayed the Alfieri sports car. And it's all China's fault. The faltering Chinese domestic market, which is experiencing its slowest period of growth in nearly three decades, is forcing Fiat Chrysler to rethink its plans for its Italian models, Bloomberg reports. Rather than going for models that would likely be popular in China, including the Alfa CUV and a larger sedan, the company will shift its focus and bring out updated MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks, both of which would play better in Europe, an unnamed source within FCA told Bloomberg. This news is notable because it shows that FCA boss Sergio Marchionne's ambitious product transformation is not progressing as smoothly as planned. In the MiTo's case, the company is willing to go back on its original strategy. The subcompact hatch wasn't supposed to survive beyond 2016, but Bloomberg is reporting an update is due by the middle of next year. As for Maserati, well, there's not much to say. The Alfieri was supposed to go on sale next year, and now it's not. There's no word on how (or even if) Maserati's priorities will shift to another vehicle, or if this is simply a matter of money being distributed away from one of FCA's brands and toward another.

Why Maserati won't share the Nettuno V6 with its siblings
Mon, Apr 4 2022Maserati spent a great deal of time and resources developing a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 called Nettuno. It made its debut in 2020 in the MC20, and it will be available in the Grecale Trofeo in 2022, but Autoblog learned that the six won't travel outside of the trident family. "We want to keep the Nettuno engine as a signature for the brand. It was developed with the aim of being uniquely associated with the Maserati brand, so it was designed and engineered specifically for Maserati. It's technically feasible to apply it to other cars [in the Stellantis group], but we want to keep it proprietary. We have it in the MC20 and now in the Grecale; there will be other uses for it in the future, but always in Maserati cars," Federico De Medio, Maserati's head of vehicle validation, told Autoblog on the sidelines of the Grecale launch. While he stopped short of providing details about the other uses, De Medio hinted that Nettuno will gradually replace the Ferrari-derived V8 that Maserati has used for many years. He explained that the project's goal was to design a six-cylinder engine with V8-like power. Does that mean that a V8 with V10-like power is on its way? Nope, it sounds like the eight-cylinder's days are numbered in the Maserati line-up. Asked how long the V8 had left to live, De Medio replied that "it depends on the life of the product itself, so the response will be provided by the market and by regulations." And, how about a new V8 designed in-house? "Never say never, but for now we just launched Nettuno so let's enjoy the V6," he answered. What's certain is that the Levante and the Quattroporte won't need a V8 for much longer: they're going electric in the coming years. We know the Ghibli is on its way out, so that leaves the next-generation Gran Turismo as the only candidate for a V8. Nothing is official, but our crystal ball tells us it's more realistic to expect that the coupe will make its debut with a V6 than with a V8. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
