You are bidding on a 1970 Fiat 850 Spyder. EBay Listings for the Fiat 850 Spyder have become scarce over the last few years and should continue to decline as restorable examples have been bought up. These cars are pure fun to throw into turns, dip into the throttle, and push near the edge of tire grip. It's unusual coil spring independent rear suspension and single leaf spring front end combined with the rear engine, rear wheel drive work great together. My preference is top down during the day in the winter, top down at night in the summer, right and left handers in any season. I've owned the car for 10 years after purchasing it on the West Coast. I have done almost nothing to the body or interior other than cleaning and minor repairs. The convertible top is new and, just like the car, has lived it's entire stationary life during my ownership in my garage. All the glass is perfect. The door hinges have been rebuilt. EVERY light, small or large works, and all the gauges work. Wipers, courtesy lights, horn, dimmer, hi-low switch, idiot lights, heater motor high and low, and the cigarette lighter all work. Door locks work, windows crank properly, and that is an NOS Vitaloni mirror on the driver's side. It has three new tires (don't ask) and a spare along with the original Fiat tool kit. The list of things done to mechanicals is extensive and includes:
Addition of the under car cooler was needed to drive in our toasty 95 degree summers. Negative items: There is one baseball size area of rust directly behind the gas pedal and some rust around the master cylinder. This is the result of someone spilling brake fluid around the master, which then ran down a drain hole into a flexible drain hose, ate through the drain hose (NOS hose has replaced it) and fell on the floor board. The rust around the master has been treated, I will leave it to the next owner to fix the floor board. The seams on the seats are starting to come apart so it is time for some repair. Otherwise the seats show little wear. The floor liner has seen better days. These can be purchased as a kit or replaced with carpets. Please note that the vehicle is sold as is, where is, without any warranty. I have tried to be thorough describing the vehicle as possible. I am happy to answer questions. A $500 pay pal deposit is required within two days by the winning bidder. The balance must be paid in 5 days by cash or by certified bank check and shipping will not commence until my bank has verified non returnable receipt of the funds. Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will assist in any way I can. |

Maserati says no to all-electric future, says U.S. chief
Mon, May 6 2019The future internal combustion remains questionable as automakers push for electrification. But not for Maserati, according to a report from Motor Trend on an investor call discussing first-quarter earnings. According to the outlet, FCA CEO Michael Manley and Maserati North America's head honcho, Al Gardner, made it known on the call that Maserati does not have any plans to say goodbye to good 'ol gasoline power. Rather, the company is planning to embrace electrification in different ways, such as hybridization. "This is a brand that needs combustion engines. It needs that raw emotion," Gardner told reporters at the conference. He also noted it's important for the company to get "back to its roots," citing the company's start with race cars before offering consumer vehicles. Maserati's electrification will begin as part of its model line overhaul leading up to 2022 that is also supposed to help reverse Maserati's slumping sales. Gardner noted that a new sports car will mark the start of the revamp, and we expect it will be a production version of the hotly anticipated and very sexy Alfieri Concept car. We may even see the car at Geneva next year. After that will be a new crossover smaller than the Levante, along with hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants with a few select electric vehicles. Maserati won't be the only automaker embracing electrification, as Jaguar, Volkswagen and Porsche are all pushing toward the new powertrain technology. Unlike Maserati, some of these brands are going all-in on electric cars. Volkswagen will release its last new internal combustion engine in 2026. Volvo's Polestar brand will only have pure EVs after the Polestar 1 sports car.
Maserati Ghibli pricing announced for UK
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Maserati's newest car, Ghibli, is a stunningly well-proportioned luxury sedan mixing the styling of the larger Quattroporte sedan and the GranTurismo coupe. We found it plenty good to in our First Drive review, and now we know how much it will cost (in the UK, at least).
Ghibli pricing announced at the Goodwood Festival of Speed is for customers in the UK, but based on current exchange rates and prices of other Maseratis sold here in the US, we can estimate its MSRP for our market. The base Ghibli, with a twin-turbocharged V6 making 325 horsepower, will cost 52,275 pounds for the Bits, making $75,000 a good guess for American buyers. If that number holds true, however, the Ghibli would be in a price category above its main competition from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Take a step up to the Ghibli S, sporting a naturally aspirated V8 producing 404 hp, and you'll have to fork out 63,415 pounds or an estimated $91,000 here.
Just for kicks, the Europe-only Ghibli Diesel, which makes 270 hp and 420 pound-feet of torque with its diesel V6, is the least-expensive Maserati 48,830 pounds. Running an estimated $70k for us, we'd really like to have that one, too. After all, the sparkplug-less engine is the same one found in the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru
Wed, 13 Nov 2013There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.
