1970 Fiat 850 Sport Spyder on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1970 Fiat 850 Spyder. EBay Listings for the Fiat 850 Spyder have become scarce over the last few years and should continue to decline as restorable examples have been bought up. These cars are pure fun to throw into turns, dip into the throttle, and push near the edge of tire grip. It's unusual coil spring independent rear suspension and single leaf spring front end combined with the rear engine, rear wheel drive work great together. My preference is top down during the day in the winter, top down at night in the summer, right and left handers in any season. I've owned the car for 10 years after purchasing it on the West Coast. I have done almost nothing to the body or interior other than cleaning and minor repairs. The convertible top is new and, just like the car, has lived it's entire stationary life during my ownership in my garage. All the glass is perfect. The door hinges have been rebuilt. EVERY light, small or large works, and all the gauges work. Wipers, courtesy lights, horn, dimmer, hi-low switch, idiot lights, heater motor high and low, and the cigarette lighter all work. Door locks work, windows crank properly, and that is an NOS Vitaloni mirror on the driver's side. It has three new tires (don't ask) and a spare along with the original Fiat tool kit. The list of things done to mechanicals is extensive and includes:
Addition of the under car cooler was needed to drive in our toasty 95 degree summers. Negative items: There is one baseball size area of rust directly behind the gas pedal and some rust around the master cylinder. This is the result of someone spilling brake fluid around the master, which then ran down a drain hole into a flexible drain hose, ate through the drain hose (NOS hose has replaced it) and fell on the floor board. The rust around the master has been treated, I will leave it to the next owner to fix the floor board. The seams on the seats are starting to come apart so it is time for some repair. Otherwise the seats show little wear. The floor liner has seen better days. These can be purchased as a kit or replaced with carpets. Please note that the vehicle is sold as is, where is, without any warranty. I have tried to be thorough describing the vehicle as possible. I am happy to answer questions. A $500 pay pal deposit is required within two days by the winning bidder. The balance must be paid in 5 days by cash or by certified bank check and shipping will not commence until my bank has verified non returnable receipt of the funds. Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will assist in any way I can. |

Maserati Levante production starting next year, Alfieri could come within 28 months
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Maserati is on a roll. The new Ghibli and Quattroporte have been huge successes, and it unveiled the gorgeous Alfieri concept (pictured above) at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The next step for the brand is getting the Levante crossover into production.
"We are getting Mirafiori ready for production [of the Levante]. The first bodies are expected for 2015," said Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne to Reuters in Geneva. He also said that there isn't much keeping the Alfieri off the streets. "The platforms and motors are there. Technically, production could start in 24-28 months," he said. However, Marchionne refused to say whether the company would actually give the concept a green light to be built.
Fiat hopes to be profitable again by 2016, and while its acquisition of Chrysler is certainly going to help, rejuvenating Alfa Romeo and Maserati are also a major part of the plan. In 2013, the Italian luxury brand saw sales more than double to 15,400 vehicles. Maser is still far away from its goal of selling 50,000 units by 2015, but it's quite a start. Fiat bought Maserati in 1993, but business went through a decade or more of doldrums and falling sales. It appears that the century-old brand is finally finding a path forward with some gorgeous new cars.
Maserati confirms Levante SUV for 2015, Alfieri for 2016
Tue, 06 May 2014The Maserati share of the big Fiat Chrysler event today was expected to be something of a snooze, at least relative to the very busy Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Alfa Romeo portions. But the truth is there was plenty to pay attention to where the premium Italian brand was concerned. After all, moving from its 15,400 unit sales in 2013 to a target of 75,000 global sales in 2018 is going to take some doing.
One piece of big news is a shakeup in the existing ranks. 2014 will mark the final year of production for the GranTurismo (and its soft-top counterpart), meaning Maserati will be limited to just its Quattroporte and Ghibli sedans until the Levante SUV arrives in 2015, confirming previous reports. The first SUV to wear the trident, the Levante will only be available with all-wheel drive, but it will boast a Porsche Macan-smiting pair of V6s, with 350 and 425 horsepower, respectively.
Things get back to normal in 2016, as Maserati resumes sports car production with a road-going version of the Alfieri Concept from the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. Again, this is confirmation of a previous report. That car will be joined by a convertible variant in 2017. It seems like Maser is taking aim at, well, everything with the Alfieri, offering a 410-hp, V6-powered variant that dispatches its power to the rear wheels, to go along with 450- and 520-hp versions of the Alfieri's V6 that will only get their power to the road through an all-wheel-drive system.
Maserati Ghibli revealed ahead of Shanghai debut
Tue, 09 Apr 2013We knew it was coming, and here it is: the 2014 Maserati Ghibli. Maserati's plan of selling 50,000 cars per year by 2015 starts with the Ghibli, which will be positioned in a more volume-friendly market against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series. The Ghibli will make its official debut later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Although our first look at Maseati's newest sedan is limited to just three images, we can see that the car will have a sportier exterior design than its bigger brother, the Quattroporte, to go with an equally luxurious interior. Under its long, sleek hood, Maserati has confirmed that the Ghibli will utilize a pair of 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engines - one gas and one diesel - both mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions. A rear-wheel-drive configuration will be standard, and the Italian automaker's new Q4 all-wheel-drive system will be available.
