1979 Lancia Zagato, Limited Edition with Fuel Injected motor. Original Owner, Chassis VIN# 828BS1 200229. This was quite a charming car in that it was always rare, even when introduced, and would promote positive responses from fellow motorists. It has proven itself to be very reliable and was counted on to perform all of the family transportation needs including vacation trips to the mountains and cross country trips.
BODY:
On this example, the finish is quite shiny, the body is very straight with minimal rust. The early Pinin Farina Zagato's had a few extra touches: The rear fender to rear window cowl are factory filled, and the gas filler is concealed by a door. Also, the original paint is of very high quality, and original undercoating and rustproofing was very good for a 34 year old car. The driver side front fender was replaced along with the door. The door was repairable, but a clean replacement was available so it was changed. The hood and some other panels have been re-painted over the years by high end paint shops using the best materials available. There is a chip on the left rear fender lip that occured when the car was carried from the storage location where it was sleeping for the past 16 years.
INTERIOR:
The carpet and trunk carpet are original, and in excellent condition. The original leather seats are glove leather and were very soft but have hardened and shrunk over the years and need replacing. The original dash has just developed cracks over the gages.
ENGINE & CHASSIS:
The engine is a 2.0 liter with double overhead cams and hemispherical combustion chambers and electronic ignition. The Lancia engine was replaced at~80,000 miles with a newer fuel injected Lancia 2.0 engine that had ~57,000 miles. The engine swap increased torque and horsepower (122 Vs 88hp), and made the car more fun to drive. The Lancia factory used extra care as can be seen by the cylinder block's carefully hand finished and dressed cast edges. When the car was received, a new battery installed, the fuel pickup was cleaned, and a cracked fuel return line was replaced, and she started right up. I put it in gear and drove it forward a little and reversed it to test a few systems. The power steering is ZF rack & pinion. It has 4-wheel disc brakes with a dual hydraulic circuit in front. The stopping performance challenged many of the best sports cars available in its day. The car has a very nimble feel with sure footedness on windy roads with comfortable non-fatigueing stability on the highways. The Pirelli's are well worn. This car received meticulous care and has 315,xxx miles on it and is now in need of mechanical restoration.
Owned by the same owners since brand new.

Maserati Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte get Edizione Nobile limited edition models
Wed, Dec 5 2018Maserati has a new special-edition package for its 2019 vehicles it calls the Edizione Nobile , or Noble Edition. The Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte (not the GranTurismo) are all going to get in on the Noble fun, with 50 of each being built. Why Maserati decided to go with the Noble Edition name isn't exactly explained beyond the name of the paint being Blu Nobile. Each Maserati gets that handsome blue paint plus 20-inch alloy wheels and silver brake calipers to set them apart from their non-noble (peasant?) siblings. We'll note that this package is available on top of the GranLusso trim level for each of the cars. Inside, you'll get the sport seats from the GranSport covered in a black/brown color combination. The Quattroporte and Ghibli cabins use glossy wood for their cabin trim while the Levante uses a high-gloss metal. An Edizione Nobile badge is displayed on the center console with the car's series number next to it. There aren't any exclusive features beyond the appearance of the Edizione Nobile, but a few options are made standard. Those include the Alcantara headliner, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and Maserati's Level 2 driver assistance package. Maserati says Edizione Nobile models will be delivered to dealerships sometime this month. Just add $7,500 on top of the GranLusso trim for each model, and you've got your price. This means a Levante S GranLusso would go from its $91,980 starting price, to $99,480 with the Edizione Nobile package. These models don't really differ much from your run-of-the-mill Maseratis. However, if noble vehicles are your thing, Maserati has 150 of them waiting. Related video:
Sergio rethinks FCA-GM merger idea, dismisses critics
Sat, Dec 5 2015After many public overtures, Fiat Chrysler Automotive CEO Sergio Marchionne has claimed his company won't be making a hostile takeover bid for General Motors. This is despite widespread speculation that FCA's desire to merge was motivated by its allegedly dire situation. As one unnamed GM exec who spoke to Automotive News earlier this year put it, "Why should [GM] bail out FCA?" "We are not choking. We are in relatively decent shape," Marchionne told journalists attending an FCA shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, AN reports. "We have been publicly rebuffed, we have been rejected and you cannot force these things. I don't want to. At the moment, we have no intention to do anything hostile." Instead of focusing on merging with GM, or any other partners for that matter, FCA will refocus on implementing its ambitious five-year investment plan, which would see it dump $52 billion into its various brands, with a particular focus on Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Jeep. So far the attempt has largely been unsuccessful, especially as it relates to the Italian brands. Earlier this week, additional reports emerged that claimed Alfa was pushing back the Giulia and an unnamed CUV while reassigning resources to updated versions of the Giulietta and MiTo hatchbacks. This is not the first time we've heard about trouble for the Giulia, of course. For Masearti, though, it was the first we'd heard of delays for Alfieri sports car, which allegedly won't appear in 2016, as promised. We can expect a proper breakdown of FCA's adjusted plans when Marchionne and Company reveal an updated product slate next month.

2017 Maserati Levante wraps Italian style around an SUV
Fri, Feb 19 2016Maserati has a glittering history that dates to 1914. It's based on gorgeous sports cars, decadent sedans, and a rich motorsports heritage. Now comes a new chapter: the first Maserati sport-utility vehicle. Called the Levante, it will debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show and launch in Europe in the spring. The rollout will continue around the world throughout 2016. Maserati says the Levante will have gasoline and diesel engines, though it didn't specify what's under the hood for US-bound models. It will be assembled in Turin, and the company says the first units are already in production. Details are slim as far as the rest of the specs, but Maserati says the Levante will have an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive capability. We also hear that serious off-road performance is one of the Levante's capabilities. The Levante carries many of the brand's styling cues, and the grille, curvy fenders, headlight shape, and vents will fit in with the rest of the brand's products, like the Ghibli and Quattroporte. Maserati joins Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Porsche, and other traditional sporting brands that have added SUVs to their portfolios in an effort to remain relevant and capitalize on new revenue streams.
