This is currently a tired old racing car that has suffered major crash damage following repairs done after at least one roll-over accident in the 1950's. I've wished to do the repairs on my own but have not made the time to do them in light of the fact that we have many other similar projects and some similar cars that we enjoy. This Siata requires chassis repairs that will include some re-construction at the front. I am prepared to do the chassis repairs during the next three months. The body requires that a portion of the nose be made new as the area in front of the centerline of the front suspension was cut off and discarded by 1961. A grille has to be made as well. Headlamps (partially Fiat 500) need to be acquired and a few parts made to fit them. The first photo shows the car when almost new with its first owner. Other photos show the car before some work that has been done already. The parts are part of the selection from which the car might be completed. There are many parts not shown and there are some parts shown that will be directed to other projects. The car will be delivered as complete a package as possible aside from the acknowledged parts that are missing. Fortunately, the windscreen was seemingly off the car during the car's roll-over and it is intact and in good shape, as are the top-bows for the tattered convertible top. Despite the above-stated mileage of 99,999 (an eBay requirement) the car has unknown mileage as there is no odometer. Many earlier versions of the 300BC never had an odometer! Engine supplied will be a Fiat 1100/103 of either 1089cc (as original) or 1221cc (later option from Fiat) and will newly made intake and exhaust manifolds. Sample photos will be supplied in case you wish to make it to appear as "original" as possible. The transmission is a Fiat 1100/103 "sport" version which has ratios that are virtually identical to those used most commonly by Siata in these cars. The front suspension has the correct Borrani hubs and the earlier Fiat 1100E derived brakes, as original. These parts were not part of the car as acquired and are probably not the original parts from this car. The brakes will need to be gone through. The rear end was not with the car when acquired and this has to be built up as Siata would have done. The majority of the parts to do that are included with the car but this is one area where a slight revision for strength may be logical. This will be discussed and the appropriate parts supplied as per your wishes. Four Borrani wheels are included for the road but the package is without a spare. The chassis repairs required will be completed before delivery, slated for end of March (2014) or at another time to be agreed upon. Body repairs are optional at added cost. Again, mechanical options are to be agreed upon after consultation but a complete mechanical package will be supplied. Price is considered to be $150,000 for the repaired chassis, rolling on its wheels. Reserve price is set at $140,000 as I have a near offer already. Since a very incomplete body without identity is currently selling on eBay for something "north" of $90,000, it seems time to part with this project that has been in the family since about 1965. We have two very nice similar (albeit unique) examples already and this alone allows me to consider selling this project. If you wish for the body to be repaired and be essentially ready for primer and paint, then the price will climb to the buy-it-now price of $180,000 ... with additional work remaining to be done elsewhere on the car. In order to own this car in a rolling state (after a bit of a wait for the work to be completed), you need only be the first to make a bid of $175,000. Please send me an email at that same time so that I will know to check and conclude the auction. At that point the auction will be terminated, regardless of any time remaining until its scheduled conclusion. Since I have already some interest in this Siata, I reserve the right to withdraw from this eBay offering at any time and conclude a sale on my own. Questions? email me at [iicarjohnATgmail] Thank you for your interest! John de Boer - The Italian Car Registry My father and I raced ST433BC and ST434BC quite a lot during the 1970's and 1980's and found them to be wonderful little giant-killers. Spend some time with one and you'll learn to dance on the edge of control with a smile on your face. These 1100 powered cars have some real "grunt" when compared to the 750cc version and this allows some white-knuckle enjoyment for a passenger that is not so easy to experience in the Crosley-powered version.

Maserati rapidly expanding dealer network
Mon, 13 Oct 2014With the new Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans out on the market, and the new Levante crossover and Alfieri coupe on their way, Maserati is making serious headway towards revitalizing its lineup. Now all it needs in order to reach its ambitious sales targets is to expand the network of dealers where they're to be sold. And according to Maserati chief Harald Wester in speaking to Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, that's exactly what it has in store.
At the end of last year, Maserati had 79 dealerships across the United States. It has already boosted that number to 100 so far this year, but before 2014 is over, it plans to open another 20 to bring the total up to (carry the two, divide by the square-root of Pi)... 120 showrooms.
Globally speaking, Maserati reportedly closed 2012 with around 220-230 dealers around the world, and currently has about 355, but aims to close 2015 with a worldwide network of 450 dealers, representing a doubling of its network in two years' time. Having more than a quarter of those in the US alone is testament to how seriously Maserati takes the American market.
2017 Maserati Levante wraps Italian style around an SUV
Fri, Feb 19 2016Maserati has a glittering history that dates to 1914. It's based on gorgeous sports cars, decadent sedans, and a rich motorsports heritage. Now comes a new chapter: the first Maserati sport-utility vehicle. Called the Levante, it will debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show and launch in Europe in the spring. The rollout will continue around the world throughout 2016. Maserati says the Levante will have gasoline and diesel engines, though it didn't specify what's under the hood for US-bound models. It will be assembled in Turin, and the company says the first units are already in production. Details are slim as far as the rest of the specs, but Maserati says the Levante will have an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive capability. We also hear that serious off-road performance is one of the Levante's capabilities. The Levante carries many of the brand's styling cues, and the grille, curvy fenders, headlight shape, and vents will fit in with the rest of the brand's products, like the Ghibli and Quattroporte. Maserati joins Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Porsche, and other traditional sporting brands that have added SUVs to their portfolios in an effort to remain relevant and capitalize on new revenue streams.

2019 Maserati Ghibli GranLusso S Quick Spin Review | A mixed designer bag
Wed, Feb 27 2019It's been a minute since we've driven the Maserati Ghibli (our first drive was way back in 2013), the twin-turbocharged, V6-powered smaller sedan from the legendary Italian outfit. In the last couple years, rumors have swirled that the Ghibli would donate its platform to the Dodge Charger and its Challenger and 300 siblings. So, in a sense, our time in Southern California in the 2019 Maserati Ghibli GranLusso S was both a preview of FCA's shared rear-drive sedan future as well as a check-in about how the Ghibli is maturing in general. Not that the Ghibli hasn't evolved in the six years since it went on sale. For 2018, Maserati moved to an electrically-assisted steering rack, mostly to enable driver assistance systems with steering intervention. The V6's output has been bumped in the S, to 424 horsepower. The headlights and grille have been updated, too, to compliment the newer and more aggressive Levante. In Los Angeles, at least, the Ghibli doesn't stand out – the town is lousy with Ghiblis, Levantes, and Quattroportes. Good for Maserati, I suppose, but bad for exclusivity. Nor does the car pop in photos like it does in person. My tester was a metallic, creamy white, which is flat and dull in photos or from far away. That's a shame, because this car has phenomenal contouring. From behind the wheel, the driver's side fender porpoises above the shapely hood. Walking along the side, the curvature of the rear fender where it meets the deep tumblehome of the C-pillar is delightful. Everybody stares at an exotic, but the owner of a Ghibli should feel special contemplating their sheetmetal. This sense of specialness dissolves inside. There are Maserati tridents everywhere, presumably to help you remember that you're looking at the expensive Italian sports sedan you just purchased rather than a riot of low-rent, Chrysler-derived bits. The steering wheel buttons feel cheap and wobbly, the too-shiny center console finish seems synthetic, the prominent lighting and engine start/stop controls to the left of the steering wheel are ensconsed in a dull plastic surround. Some of the aesthetic choices – subjective, yes – are confounding. Take the textile inserts on the seats and door cards. I love the fact that interior designers are playing with textiles, which can be used to great effect. And the pitch here is compelling: an apparently famous Italian designer (Ermenegildo Zegna) used a fancy fabric (mulberry silk) with special weaves and textures.
