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.

Swedish toymaker offers a wooden Maserati collection

Thu, Mar 15 2018

In some ways, Maserati had it easier in the 1980s. We don't necessarily mean in a financial sense, or that the cars were especially reliable, but it has to be said both the Biturbo and the third generation Quattroporte are both simple, three-box shapes that are easy to re-create from blocks of solid wood. The Swedish toy company Playsam offers the Alfieri concept, the Levante SUV and open-wheel Maserati race cars in wooden toy car form, and the production portfolio is planned to be enlarged later. Maserati has plenty of classic designs for Playsam to re-create, but our tip is to look into the Biturbo style cars if they want to take a break from all those swoopy shapes you can see in the slideshow above. Maybe they could even offer the Chrysler TC by Maserati with a detachable hardtop: Those round opera windows must be really easy to drill in place. Browsing the online store, the prices for the Playsam's Maserati products are far higher than the toymaker's conventional $70 wooden toy car range, at over $370 apiece. But like the real counterparts, they should not just sit untouched: We would rather see them being used. Related Video:

Second 'No Time To Die' trailer drops with lots of crunching metal

Thu, Sep 3 2020

The second trailer for the new James Bond film, "No Time To Die," was posted to social media Thursday morning, getting us thoroughly hyped for the forthcoming installment thanks to some spicy car content and lots of other ridiculous, big-budget action sequences.  Fair warning for the purists: This might contain plot- and character-related information from the trailer itself. Also, it appears that many Land Rover Defenders died in the making of this film, so the footage may not be for the faint of heart; don't say we didn't give you advance notice.  As is typical of Bond films, most of the automotive eye candy is of the European variety. The classic Aston Martin DB5 gadget car (which we saw doing some crazy machine-gun donuts in the first trailer) makes yet another appearance, as does what appears to be fourth-generation Maserati Quattroporte. There's even something which might be a car, but also appears to be both some sort of airplane and submersible. Never change, Bond. We love it.  And then there are the Defenders. We've got Defenders speeding down hillsides, Defenders crashing through forests, Defenders flying over Land Cruisers. Yeah, do you like Land Cruisers? There's a Land Cruiser. It even (spoiler alert!) survives relatively unscathed; the same cannot be said for most of the automotive shenanigans we get to see here.  "No Time To Die" was originally slated to debut back in April, but its original release date roughly coincided with the projected peak of early coronavirus infections. Given how important the Bond film franchise's continued success is to MGM (it's virtually the only thing the studio has had going for it for 30 years) and the producers (who only make Bond films), meager box office returns were not an option. The last film, Spectre, pulled in the worldwide gross of $880 million, including $200 million in the United States and $83.5 million in China. The wait is almost over. "No Time to Die" will hit theaters Nov. 25 in the United States.  Related Video:

Maserati teases MC20 Cielo debut for May 25

Mon, May 16 2022

A while back, Maserati's product roadmap penciled in an MC20 Spider to hit the market this year. In December 2021, the Modena automaker teased frontal views of the droptop supercar wearing camouflage full of fluffy clouds. In a series of Instagram posts over the last week, Maserati posted photos from the point of view of someone with an uninterrupted view skyward — the same kind of view one would experience in a convertible, say. One of the captions was, "You will admire the sky in a new way on Wednesday 25 May." That will be the reveal date for what the automaker is now calling the Maserati MC20 Cielo, with that last word being Italian for "sky." This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Since we got no views of the rear of the camouflaged car, we have no idea what design changes we'll see in a little more than a week. Looking closely at the photos of the camouflaged prototype, it's clear there's are temporary panels between behind the B-pillar all the way to the decklid spoiler. An odd feature on the prototype is a trio of ribs running from the A-pillar to the rear of the car, with the middle protrusion looking like a papered-over roof scoop. That seems like a lot of work to hide a form we're already familiar with, and a convertible mechanism we don't expect to hold any surprises, so we'll see what we see on May 25. Maserati's usual Spider formula hasn't traditionally altered a car's underpinnings, so the same carbon fiber monocoque should come bolted to the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 making 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. The skylight does traditionally jack up the price, so expect to pay more than the coupe's $210,000 MSRP. We figure the model will arrive in showrooms late this year at the earliest, an appearance in the U.S. likely in 2023. After this, we know there's an even more powerful electric version on the way that will be the flagship of the range. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
