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 small two-seater could arrive by 2016

Mon, 13 May 2013

As a following act to the redesigned Quattroporte and the recently unveiled 2014 Maserati Ghibli, Maserati will be releasing a slew of new products in the coming years, including the next-generation GranTurismo, the all-new Levante SUV and a new 911-fighting coupe - possibly called Gran Sport. While all of this information was detailed last year in a leaked product plan document, there were no dates associated with any of the new products. Auto Express is now reporting that the new GranTurismo will be out in 2015 and the new smaller coupe is expected out in 2016.
According to the report, the new coupe will be smaller and sportier than the GranTurismo, and it will feature a mid-engine layout with a platform that isn't shared with the Alfa Romeo 4C. This product onslaught is a part of Maserati's plan to increase sales to 50,000 units globally by 2015.

Maserati returns to Indianapolis to commemorate historic win

Tue, 27 May 2014

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend, folks, and you know what that means: racing. There was the Monaco Grand Prix for Formula One fans, and back Stateside there was the Indianapolis 500. You might expect to see a name like Maserati pop up at the former more than the latter, but that wasn't always the case.
These days its all about Dallara chassis powered by Chevy or Honda, but over the course of a century there have been plenty of foreign automakers that have won the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. McLaren won it twice in the 1970s, Mercedes and Peugoet won during the race's pre-WWI infancy, and in between them Boyle Racing won it two years in a row with a Maserati chassis and engine.
The car was the Maserati 8CTF "Boyle Special," and its first win came 75 years ago. So to mark the occasion (as well as Maserati's 100th anniversary), the car was brought back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a revival lap. Unfortunately Wilbur Shaw, who won the Indy 500 three times (twice in the Maserati) and went on to be president of the speedway, died in a plane crash the day before his 52nd birthday in 1954. So in his place fellow three-time winner Johnny Rutherford took the wheel of the 8CTF in front of the gathered crowds.

Zagato to reveal new Maserati-powered Mostro at Villa d'Este

Thu, May 21 2015

Zagato has a record of collaborating with some of Europe's finest automakers, but it's the storied past it shares with Maserati that the coachbuilder will be celebrating at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este this summer. And that's where Zagato will reveal the Mostro, previewed here. The coachbuilt custom pays tribute to the 1957 Maserati 450 S – known as "il Mostro" for its monstrous power. The Zagato-bodied coupe (one of its last designs not to use the Kamm tail) was commissioned and raced by Stirling Moss at Le Mans, and supposedly remained the most powerful front-engined racecar in the world into the 1990s. This modern tribute is built around a carbon monocoque, with a dry-sump Maserati V8 mounted up front but between the axles for optimal weight distribution, driving a six-speed semi-automatic rear transaxle. The design comes from the same studio that gave us such recent creations as the Alfa Romeo TZ3 and Perana Z-One, and shares some similar design traits, but with quasi-pontoon front fenders capping the long nose and swept-back greenhouse. In correspondence with Autoblog, Zagato confirms that the Mostro is designed for the track, but will be "ready for street homologation." The carrozzeria will build five examples before Maserati's current centenary year is over. Each has already been spoken for, though none are headed to customers in the US. Coachbuilders seldom reveal pricing for this type of project (particularly when they've all been pre-sold), but we're told that "none of Zagato's atelier cars exceed 1 million. As collectible cars, the value of a Zagato typically overcomes the purchasing price within a few years." We'll look forward to seeing the finished product in full once it's ready. In the meantime you can view it – along with a brief pictorial history of the relationship between Maserati and Zagato – in the slideshow above and the details in the trio of texts below.

The Mostro powered by Maserati is the latest creation of Zagato's current Iconic decade, a new tradition for the atelier that began at the end of coachbuilder's Neoclassical period (2000-2010) to celebrate the most iconic models of automotive history. Marking the delivery of the first customer car, Zagato will present the new Mostro as a world premiere at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este.
