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 Levante SUV may be built in Italy after all

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

In July Fiat halted its investments in Italy, putting on hold plans for the Maserati Levante SUV to be built at the automaker's flagship factory in Turin. But Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, whose company owns Maserati, met with unions on Wednesday, and he may announce plans to move forward with production of the SUV at the Mirafiori factory if the CEO and the unions reach an agreement, Bloomberg reports.
Marchionne is reportedly about ready to build new cars at Fiat's largest and oldest factory, on the grounds that 5,300 workers accept extended temporary layoffs through most of next year in a slowing European auto market. If unions don't accept the deal, it's not clear whether Fiat would still consider building the Levante at Mirafiori or not.
The Levante, Maserati's first SUV, is based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee platform, and we reported two years ago that it would be built in Detroit next to its Jeep cousin. Obviously those plans have been altered considerably in the intervening period of time.

Maserati confirms Levante SUV for 2015, Alfieri for 2016

Tue, 06 May 2014

The 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 gets smashed on its way to Top Safety Pick rating [w/video]

Sat, 30 Nov 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has crash-tested the 2014 Maserati Ghibli, and the Italian luxury sedan scored has well enough to earn the institute's Top Safety Pick rating. The model netted "Good" marks - the IIHS' highest rating - in moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats tests.
The new Maserati is equipped seven airbags and features strategic use of hot-formed steel to optimize vehicle strength for safety and aluminum to lower weight for better driving performance. While it still pains us to see two new Maseratis smashed to smithereens (watch the videos below), we imagine the company's well-heeled prospective owners will feel better about their $65,600+ purchases knowing that they aced the tests.
Head on below to see crash test videos from both the IIHS and Europe's NCAP, as well as for Maserati's official release, which covers some of the safety engineering that has gone into its new entry-level sedan.
