History:     This is one of the very few of it's kind left in this condition. I am the 2nd owner. The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder Convertible is one of the rarest sports cars ever produced. For a full history on the vehicle, please go to : www.3000gtspyderregistry.com  or www.frankpearson.com . On these sites, go to the "registry", my car is number 808 and VR4 number 466. There are probably less than a few hundred of these vehicles left in the world, a true collector's car. This one is in that condition, in every way.This particular vehicle is all Origional and has not been "customized" or modified in any way.The current mileage is 71,843 on the day I took the photos for this add on 5/20/14. As the second owner I have barely driven it. The vehicle has been garage kept with a dust cover on it. The first owner did the same. This vehicle also come from a smoke free environment (Both Owners). 

 

Condition:    I will describe this vehicle, but there is NO compareison for seeing it in person. To truely appreciate the condition this specimen, you gotta see it! The body has absolutely no damage anywhere (accept for a small crack in the passenger side mirror case, (which is fixable). The paint is in excellent condition all over. There may be one or two small stone chips on the front, which is normal but low for a car of this age. The engine is strong and runs smoothly as it should. The turbo works flawlessly and has been well maintained. The AWD & All wheel stearing work as a new vehicle. The manual transmission is solid, but not quite as smooth as a brand new 2015 sports car. THE ROOF opens and closes exactly as it should, smooth with NO problems. EVERY eletronic option on this car is in perfect working order: Cruise control, Heater & A/C, stereo, cassette player, CD player (which comes with 3 not 1 CD, 6 Disc magazines), eletric seat adjustment and lumbar support, All lights (Front and rear exterior, dash and insturment pannels, all interior and door lights), Cigarette lighter, etc, etc. Nothing doesn't work. The telescoping antenna works as a new car's does and it is straight, not bent or damaged as you will see on so may other Spyders. The engine compartment is clean. The leather seats are in very good condition. This was one of the first things I looked at when I bought the car. Many 3000GT's leather are very worn. The carpet is in the same condition (accept for a small stain near the passenger side, it can be cleaned, I just never tried. The 60K mile tune up (including a new timing belt and new Mitsubishi battery were all done by the previous owner). The Michelin racing tires are all in almost new condition, they may have 2800 miles on them. The chrome wheels are also in great condition. The factory alarm system works exactly as it should and the first owner had a "LoJack" theft/recovery system installed as well. This can help with insurance rates, a plus. I also have all the origional paperwork & keys (as seen in the photo), both keyless entry fobs work. 

 

Shipping & Payment:   The Buyer is responsible for all licensing, title transfer fees and applicable taxes for the transaction (as I was when I bought it). A deposit of $500.00 with in 48 hours of the auctions close is required. Full payment is required with in 7 days of the close of the sale/auction and prior too the transfer of title to the buyer's name. Buyer will be responsible for the pick up or shipping of the vehicle. 

If you have any questions or if I have missed something, please feel free to call me between the hours of 9am- 9pm (Eastern time), 7 days a week at (502)-551-1229, ask for Mark. FOR SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.

2017 Maserati Quattroporte gets updated styling, equipment

Tue, Jun 14 2016

Maserati revealed a series of updates to the Quattroporte, the most obvious of which is revised styling inspired by the Alfieri coupe concept. The overall shape remains the same, but there's a new grille and front bumper, matte black trim, and an active aero element similar to the air shutter on the Levante crossover that helps cut drag by 10 percent. The Modenese automaker also took the opportunity to update the interior, principally integrating a new 8.4-inch multi-touch dashboard display to replace the old 7-inch unit. Manipulated by a new rotary multimedia controller, the system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. A new driver assistance package available as an option, encompassing adaptive cruise control, lane-departure and forward-collision warning systems, and automatic emergency braking. There are two new trim packages as well – dubbed GranLusso and GranSport – that can be optioned on the Quattroporte S and S Q4 or chosen between on the GTS model. Under the hood, both engines carry over unchanged. Standard power still comes courtesy of a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 good for 404 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, channeled through an eight-speed automatic transmission to either the rear wheels or all four. The GTS packs a bigger 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, still rated at 523 hp and 524 lb-ft. 0-60 times as a result remain unchanged at 4.9 seconds for the Quattroporte S, 4.8 for the all-wheel-drive Quattroporte S Q4, and 4.6 for the Quattroporte GTS. US pricing will be announced "in the coming weeks," we're told, however Maserati will begin delivering the revised Quattroporte already this month. The relevant question is whether these changes can help Maserati take a bigger slice of the fullsize luxury sedan market away from rivals like the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes S-Class. Maserati sold fewer models across its entire range in the United States last year than Mercedes did of the S-Class family, making the Quattroporte something of a footnote in this elite segment. If what we're looking at here represents a mid-cycle refresh of the model introduced in 2013, it will likely be 2019 before FCA's most upscale brand replaces its flagship sedan altogether.

Ram/Jeep Ecodiesel engine has Maserati roots

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

The 3.0L turbodiesel V6 in the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel earned a slot on Ward's Automotive 2014 10 Best Engines for its power, fuel economy and refinement. In a piece looking at how Fiat subsidiary VM Motor developed the engine, Ward's also makes note of the fact that the same lump goes in diesel versions of the Maserati Quattroporte and Ghibli. They're tuned a bit differently, naturally, with the QP putting out 275 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, the smaller, lighter Ghibli making do with the same number of horses but a lower torque output of 420 lb-ft.
The 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet put out by the oil-burning six-cylinder in the Ram was tamed with a host of advances, but it appears that Ram hasn't tamed demand: the initial allocation of 8,000 engines was spoken for within three days of the truck going on sale. Head over to Ward's to read the story of how Ram worked out the equation light-duty-pickup + diesel = success.

Alfa Romeo will gain a Jeep Compass-based SUV

Fri, Nov 30 2018

It was reported earlier this week that FCA would invest into its Italian factories to ramp up production at currently underutilized locations. Those plans have now been clarified with official information from FCA, as reported by Automotive News. The entire investment is worth $5.7 billion. First of all, Alfa Romeo will gain a new compact SUV based on the Jeep Compass architecture. The still-unnamed model will be available as a plug-in hybrid, and it will be built in Pomigliano, Italy. No U.S. availability has yet been announced, but it would not be odd to see the Compass-based model sold below the Stelvio in the States. The last time Alfa Romeo had anything similar in its model portfolio was when it offered Crosswagon-badged four-wheel-drive versions of the 156 and 159 wagons. As for the Jeep Compass itself, it will begin to be built at the Melfi plant in Italy. The rumored small "baby" Jeep slotting under the Renegade has not yet been officially mentioned. Fiat will introduce a battery electric 500, built in Turin, and the Pomigliano plant that will make the compact Alfa Romeo SUV will also be used to build a mild hybrid version of the Panda city car. The 500X will gain a PHEV variant. The Stelvio platform will also spawn a corresponding SUV for Maserati, and FCA also mentioned Maserati will introduce a new, unnamed model it will make in Modena. Automotive News quotes Italian press as saying this will be the Alfieri coupe and convertible, also offered as battery electric versions. Related Video:
