Must sell to pay IRS this rear.  Would not sell if didn't have to raise the tax money.
This Spyder is in remarkable condition.  There are only a few minor rock bites,one on the nose and two by the rear wheel well. Pictures are attached.  The only item not working on the car is the power antenna.  The motor runs but, I believe the antenna was broken off prior to my purchase.  Radio works just fine without it.  I have owned two of these vehicles and this is the best one yet.  There is very, very little wear on the driver's seat exterior bolster.  Also, both defrost vents are cracked from the sun.  ALL of my 3000 GT's and Stealths had this issue.  There are no known mechanical problems of any type at this time.  I have religiously changed the oil and fluids for the past two years of ownership.  I use Pennzoil Synthetic oil.  The brakes are sound, both disk and emergency.  All options work except power antenna. Top retracts and restores flawlessly with all glass moving as it should.  I have also replace the hydraulic fluid in the reservoirs due to age and trash in the tanks.  Additional fluid will be provided with the car. I also will include the top diagnostic cable for the car that troubleshoots problems.  This came from one of the members on the Yahoo site.  There are no interior leaks around the top or windows.  
I purchased the car two years ago for $15,500.00 from a person in Las Vegas.  I drove it home to Kentucky without any trouble.  I have had no trouble to date except changing the battery and replacing the header mounted limit switches for the convertible top.  I have also replaced the nose and tail "Mitsubishi" decals as the originals were very faded.
All parts were purchased from 3S Warehouse in Pennsylvania.  A great resource for 3000 GT items.  Also, I replaced both interior door panels as the areas around the arm rest had billowed due to heat exposure.  While doing that, I replaced the front door speakers with Fosgate speakers as they were slightly torn from age.

I do not have the original wheels but I did keep some of the parts from the door panel replacement.  These are included with the vehicle for no extra charge.  I also have a remote for the car but, I needs to be programmed to this vehicle.  It will also go with the car.

This car has every feature available on SL model.  While it is not a VR4, it has significant power and almost all of the same options except all wheel drive.  I have had a Stealth Twin Turbo and it about took my head off when I floored it.  I am now too old to do that kind of thing so this cars performance suits me just fine.
Read the reviews and visit the forums on the 3000 GT on Yahoo.  They are very helpful and great sources of encouragement when you feel overwhelmed by the sophistication of the vehicle.   

Payment should be cash and cash only.  I may help with the delivery of the vehicle if it is sold to the east side of the Mississippi River.  Please feel free to have the car inspected by a third party.  Only ASE mechanics have touch it since I owned it but, I am not a mechanic and cannot vouch for any performance or operational issues other than those mentioned above.  I will cooperate fully on any inspection.  The new owner will be responsible for all costs of licenses, fees, taxes, shipping and any other costs above the sales price.  I reserve the right to sell the car locally and withdraw it from E-Bay upon sale.

I am available to answer any questions and wish to sell this car PRIOR to April 15, 2014.  However, I will be flexible if necessary. I have purchased many cars over E-Bay and understand about paying so much for a vehicle, sight unseen.  That is why I encourage an inspection.  It is cheap insurance for peace of mind.
Thanks for looking! Bid high and bid often so that both of us can meet our needs and the new owner of the Spyder will have a dynamite car to cat around in this summer.

Maserati's first electric car won't be a Tesla rival

Sun, Oct 9 2016

Italian supercar makers haven't exactly embraced electric vehicles with gusto (the LaFerrari hybrid is about as close as you get), but that should change in the next few years. Ferrari's sibling brand Maserati tells Car and Driver that it's working on an electric vehicle that would be shown before 2020. And unlike other luxury car brands, Maserati doesn't plan on eating Tesla's lunch. It has to produce something "very different" to stand out, the company's Roberto Fedeli says. Think of something more like the GranTurismo coupe (see above) than yet another upscale sedan. Part of the challenge, Fedeli claims, is making a green machine that's exciting to drive. Breakneck acceleration is the only really thrilling aspect of EVs right now, he says – the sheer weight of those lithium-ion batteries dampens the enjoyment on twisty roads. A Maserati would have to be lighter on its feet. Also, the automaker will have to find a way to give its car character without a roaring gas engine under the hood. In that sense, Maserati's 2020 goal is realistic. It may not have much choice but to wait for battery technology to catch up to its ambitions.

The List #0100: Drive the Italian Alps

Tue, Jul 7 2015

The List travels to northern Italy to experience driving the Italian Alps. For this grand drive, we need a proper grand touring sports car. The Maserati Quattroporte fits the bill, with four doors, space for luggage, and all-wheel drive for those snowy mountain passes. But first our hosts make a quick stop at the Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari in Modena to take in an exhibit celebrating 100 years of Maserati. "The scenery is unbelievable," says host Patrick McIntyre. "If you're going to come all the way to Italy, rent a car and drive through [the Alps]." Join Jessi and Patrick as the check 'drive the Italian Alps' off of their list. Have an RSS feed?

Next-generation Maserati Gran Turismo, Gran Cabrio confirmed

Thu, Aug 1 2019

The Maserati Gran Turismo will return for a second generation after all. The Italian automaker confirmed the on-again, off-again grand tourer as it presented its financial results to investors.  The Gran Turismo coupe and its convertible offshoot, the Gran Cabrio, were both included in the five-year plan parent company Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) presented in 2014. Their future began looking grim when they disappeared from the company's road map, according to Motor Authority. We know Maserati is busily working on another, more hardcore sports car inspired by the Alfieri concept, and odds are insiders worried releasing two similar models in the same price bracket would confuse buyers and torpedo both nameplates. The latest from Maserati's Modena, Italy, headquarters is that development of the next Gran Turismo is back on track. Additional details about the car remain under wraps, but Maserati's presentation noted every car it releases beginning in 2020 will be offered with a battery-electric powertrain. The current, 12-year old Gran Turismo (pictured) has been V8-only for its entire career, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the eight-cylinder return as an alternative powertrain for buyers who don't want an EV. Maserati has previously made it clear that it won't commit to an all-electric future. Maserati's product master plan pegs the next Gran Turismo's debut date at some point in 2021. Keep in mind the company isn't exactly known for timeliness. Even if we see the model during 2021, it's unlikely to appear in American showrooms until 2022 at the earliest. The Gran Cabrio will arrive the following year, so it will likely launch as a 2023 model. That means the current Gran Turismo and Gran Cabrio will likely remain in the firm's lineup for two or three additional years. The presentation reaffirms Maserati's commitment to finally becoming a full-line automaker. In 2020, it will give the Levante, the Ghibli, and the Quattroporte a mid-cycle refresh, and it will release the aforementioned production version of the Alfieri concept introduced way back in 2014. Then 2021 will bring a smaller SUV, and a convertible variant of the yet-unnamed Alfieri-inspired model. Finally, the Quattroporte and the Levante will be replaced in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Maserati will need to keep the Gran Turismo and the Alfieri in two distinctly separate segments.
