MOST OF THE CONDITION ISSUES WERE ADDRESSED EXCEPT THAT AN EX GIRLFIEND KEYED MOST OF THE PANELS, DIDN'T GET DOWN TO THE FIBERGLASS. WHEN THE BIDDING PASSES $12,500, I'LL INCLUDE PPG PAINT AS FOLLOWS: A GALLON OF BLACK DCC SINGLE STAGE, A GALLON OF DBC BLACK, 2 GALLONS OF CLEAR, CLOSE TO A GALLON OF NCP 271 PRIMER AND AS MUCH HARDENER AND REDUCER TO MIX THEM WITH. I'LL ALSO INCLUDE A QUART OF RESIN TO DO THE GLASS REPAIRS. THE BODY IS GOING TO NEED THE FENDER BONDED ON AND THE GLASS WORK DONE. THERE'S STRESS CRACKS ON THE HOOD AND AROUND THE WHEEL WELLS. THE ENGINE AND TRANNY MOUNTS ARE FABRICATED BUT NEED TO BE WELDED IN. TYPICALLY THERE IS NO ENGINE MOUNT BUT I DIDN'T WANT ALL THE WEIGHT ON THE TRANS MOUNT.
I ESTIMATE THERE'S A DAYS WORTH OF WELDING, 2 DAYS WORTH OF BODY WORK, A DAY'S WORTH OF PAINTING AND A COUPLE OF DAYS TO ASSEMBLE. STARTING FROM THE FRONT, THE CAR HAS CLEAR TURN SIGNALS WITH CHROME TRIM RINGS THAT I TOOK OFF A NYC BUS. THERE'S ALSO YELLOW LIGHTS IN THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING THAT WORK AS FOG LIGHTS BUT ALSO GIVE AN EERIE GLOW WHEN THEY'RE TURNED ON. 5" DROPPED SPINDLES GIVE THIS CAR A GREAT STANCE. THE HANDMADE OVERSIZED GAS TANK IS ALUMINUM AND BAFFLED. THE PLATE FROM BECK SAYS IT'S THE 47TH CAR HE BUILT. IT'S GOT DISC BRAKES ALL AROUND WITH FRONT CROSSDRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS AND DOT 5 SILICONE BRAKE FLUID RUN THROUGH A KEYED LINE LOCK AND ADJUSTABLE PROPORTIONATING VALVE TO CHANGE BRAKE BIAS.THE WINDSHIELD WAS HAND CUT WITH JUST THE BOTTOM AND SIDE TRIM USED, I MADE A SPECIAL BRACKET TO HOLD THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD IN AND IT ALSO HANGS THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, SO THE CAR LOOKS EXTREMELY LOW. SHORT THROW SHIFTER, CUSTOM HANDLE. ODOMETER SHOWS UNDER 10,000 MILES, THAT'S WITH THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. MILEAGE ON THE SUBARU IS UNKNOWN BUT THE BUILDER SAYS AROUND 25,000. THE LINK SYSTEM MAKES WIRING IT A BREEZE. THREE REDS FOR POWER AND STARTER, HALF A DOZEN MORE FOR GUAGES AND SENSORS. HIGH PERFORMANCE IGNITERS PULL 250+ HORSEPOWER FROM THE ENGINE. 5 POINT SEAT BELT HARNESSES. BUYER GETS AN EXTRA SET OF SPRING PLATES AND TORSION BARS, THE WHEELS ARE 914 ALUMINUM WITH ALMOST NEW TIRES. THE TUNABLE SUPERTRAPP PLATE MUFFLER, EXTRA VDO DASH GUAGES AND ANYTHING ELSE I CAN FIND FOR THE CAR.

Latin music star Ren? P?rez destroys own Maserati to send kids a message
Thu, 06 Mar 2014Can destroying a car be art? That question comes a bit too late for the Maserati Quattroporte seen above. The act depicted is from the music video for Adentro by Puerto Rican hip-hop act Calle 13 new single.
While the video is not yet online, the making-of featurette is available below and shows the luxury sedan getting beat with a baseball bat (and more) by the group's frontman René Pérez. According to Latin Gossip, Pérez wants to send his fans a message not to place too high a value in material objects. The Maserati represents a time in his life of too much excess, it seems...
The guy might have an argument, but it still seems pretty wasteful to destroy a perfectly good Italian sports sedan. We will be curious to see how far the destruction goes, but you can get a peak at it in the video below.
Maserati offers peek into Alfieri concept's design
Mon, 24 Mar 2014This year marks Maserati's hundredth anniversary, which means we'll be spending the rest of 2014 talking about all the company's planned celebrations. The Alfieri Concept, shown at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, though, is quite possibly the most noteworthy part of the brand's centennial.
Named after one of the company's founder, Alfieri Maserati, the coupe is a striking piece of design, although it did manage to fall short of earning a spot on our editors' choice list for the Geneva show (we blame this more on the number of exciting products at the show rather than any shortcoming of the showcar).
In this video, Maserati Centro Stile designers take us through the process of penning the Alfieri, from the car it was inspired by, on to the actual process of designing the car. Fans of automotive design won't want to miss this video. Take a look below.
Maserati rules out smaller Macan rival
Tue, Mar 17 2015These days every luxury automaker is going after the Porsche Cayenne with a crossover of its own. Among those coming up is the Maserati Levante, which will mark the Trident marque's first foray into high-riding territory. But don't expect it to follow up with a Macan rival as well. Speaking with Autocar, Maserati chief Harald Wester ruled out the possibility of a smaller crossover to join the Levante in the Modenese automaker's lineup, ostensibly because doing so would step on the toes of other brands under the Fiat Chrysler umbrella – particularly with Alfa Romeo set to launch a crossover of its own. "We are an extremely complex multi-brand group and to have every doing a little bit of everything is not the right way," Wester told the British magazine. "In this business, you should never say 'no' in a dogmatic way, but my personal opinion is that Maserati wouldn't want to go below the Levante in size." And Wester's opinion goes a long way in the halls in Turin and Auburn Hills: he's head of both the Maserati and Alfa Romeo brands, and is also the group's Chief Technology Officer. That's something that has never seemed to deter the Volkswagen Group, though, where Bentley is gearing up to take on its sister company's Cayenne with the upcoming Bentayga and is also said to be considering a Macan rival. And that's to say nothing of other SUVs occupying similar size and price positions from Volkswagen, Audi and potentially Lamborghini. Which only serves to underline the different approaches taken by Europe's two largest automakers. Look for the Levante to debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.
