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.

2017 Maserati GranTurismo will only come with a hard hat

Wed, Dec 3 2014

If you've been waiting for the next generation of the Maserati GranTurismo to come along before you place your order for a four-seat convertible, you'd better change your plans and act fast. Because the latest report coming in from across the pond confirms what we long suspected: that the next GranTurismo will be offered in coupe form only. The news comes from Auto Express, which quotes Peter Denton – Maserati's manager for Northern Europe – as saying that "The GranTurismo will be replaced at the end of 2017, but as a coupe only." That coupe will also be smaller than the current model, but the timeframe means that by the time it's phased out, the current GT will have been on the market for a staggering ten years – based on architecture dating back to 2003, if not earlier. That doesn't mean that Maserati won't offer a convertible altogether, though. By the time the new GranTurismo arrives, the Trident marque will have introduced the Alfieri, which (like the outgoing GranTurismo) will be offered as both a coupe and a convertible. The trend seems to follow a larger industry direction away from four-seat convertibles – particularly under the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles umbrella. Chrysler discontinued the 200 Convertible, and unlike Ford and Chevy that offer convertible versions of the Mustang and Camaro, Dodge does not offer a convertible Challenger. Aside from the fated GranTurismo Convertible (known as the GranCabrio overseas) and the Jeep Wrangler, the only droptop in the entire sprawling group with more than two seats is the Ferrari California – a model whose presence may have factored in to the decision to discontinue the Maser cabriolet as well. The news will undoubtedly come as welcome to competitors like Aston Martin and Bentley, which between them offer several four-seat convertibles including the DB9 Volante, Vanquish Volante and Continental GTC. It remains to be seen, however, whether Jaguar will offer a convertible version of the next XK to stand alongside the smaller F-Type roadster.

Maserati to recall Quattroporte and Ghibli over shifter

Thu, Jun 23 2016

On Thursday, documents on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website revealed that Maserati is preparing to recall 13,092 2014 Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans because of a "counter-intuitive" gear shift lever. The shifter may lead drivers to believe the car is in park while it's actually in reverse, potentially causing the car to roll away. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Maserati's parent company, has recalled 1.1 million vehicles worldwide for this same issue. The affected vehicles span several model years and all share a ZF-designed eight-speed automatic transmission. The shifter design in these vehicles is similar to but not exactly like the one in the two Maseratis. Currently, 41 injuries have been attributed to this issue. There seems to be no indication of hardware failure for any of these incidents. In the United States, the 2012-14 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 and 2014-15 Jeep Grand Cherokee were named in this first recall. Actor Anton Yelchin's recent death, caused when he was crushed by his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, may be related. As of the current model year, the Charger, 300, and Grand Cherokee have an updated shifter design. According to the documents, FCA is currently working on a software update that will remedy the issue. Because the solution must be tested and verified, the company doesn't expect it to be ready for another few months. Both recalls were brought about after a NHTSA investigation. In May, NHTSA suggested Maserati issue a recall and on June 1 the company agreed with the group's assessment, though Maserati did tell NHTSA that they have had no complaints of vehicles rolling away. We're currently waiting on comment from Maserati North America and will update the story when more information is available. Related Video: Recalls Maserati Luxury Sedan maserati ghibli

Maserati Alfieri Concept seen and heard in early leak [w/video]

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

As is so often the case ahead of a major debut, somebody wasn't able to keep the latest concept car from Maserati under wraps all the way until the drawing of its curtain at the Geneva Motor Show. The low-slung silver coupe you see above is said to be the Maserati Alfieri Concept, and, though these images aren't exactly the greatest, it looks pretty good. We like the small proportions of the Alfieri and the aggressive look of the car's front and rear fascias, and we certainly note a more assertive design than the Granturismo it would likely replace.
Rumor has it that both V6 and V8 engines may be on the table, mounted up front and driving either the rear or all four wheels, but we'll have to wait for official confirmation before we know for sure. In any case, this new Maserati, if it does go into production, is tipped to line up against such sporting contenders as the Jaguar F-Type and Porsche 911. Check out the two leaked images above, watch and listen to the car move under its own power in the video below, and feel free to let us know what you think in the Comments.
