NO RESERVE!!


New pictures up.  The first one was taken 5 minutes ago in my driveway.  The last one is me driving down the road yesterday showing 80 on the speedometer, in 6th gear, cruise control on, with fantastic oil pressure and good coolant temperature (no the steering wheel isn't cocked, it lines up and drives straight, was just trying to take a picture and steer at the same time).

This car has been my baby and my daily driver for the last year and she's been awesome, but it's time to let her to go someone who will appreciate her more.  I'm 42 and I travel for a living, so I don't really use the full potential of this car and want someone to have it who will really enjoy it!  I'm the 3rd owner, it originally was sold on the West Coast, moved up to Washington State for almost a decade, then came down to Nashville.  It's NEVER been in the snowbelt, no rust issues.  

Only 457 of these were made, less are around now, very rare!

You will NOT find another one like this out there.  How do I know?  Because Mitsubishi did not offer the VR4 Spyder in Black on black colors, and I have recently completely replaced all the cream interior that goes bad so quickly with all NEW black leather seats and new carpets, it looks brand new!  All power functions work perfectly, including the top which has been recently calibrated by a Spyder technician, power steering, cruise control, windows, everything works!  No smoking, no loud lifter tick, no squeaking, no rattling, just a solid driving slick black driving machine; fly in and drive her home today!

Over the last year she's been completely refurbished, and I have receipts for all of this work, including but not limited to:

New transmission rebuild - over $2,000, performed 2 years ago in Washington State
New Air Conditioning Compressor, Condensor, Dryer, and system flushed and filled - $1,000 last summer, blows super cold and auto climate control works perfectly!
New Driver's Side power window motor - $250 last summer
New Radiator, radiator cap, and thermostat - $400 last summer
New FULL PAINT JOB - professionally stripped down to primer and re-painted black with clear coat, looks AWESOME - $2,200 - 6 months ago
Headlights sanded down and refinished - $150 - 6 months ago, but could stand being polished again
New Black carpet - $400 3 months ago
New black leather interior - $1,000 3 months ago
New tires - $750 3 months ago
New shift boot - 3 months ago
New antenna - this month
New windshield washer pump and nozzles - this month

The chrome rims shine up VERY nicely but have normal road wear on them.  The car had the 60k done many years ago according to the previous owner but has not had the 120k service done, but it still drives perfectly, every day.  I even took it back and forth 4 hours each way from Nashville to Atlanta last month, it drove perfectly, no issues.

So, in the last two years, it's had over $7,000 of work done!  Where else are you going to find a Spyder with this awesome of maintenance history, WITH RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT??!!  

These are super rare, and getting more rare every year as people wreck them or part them out.  Get a car that turns heads, no one knows what it is, looks AWESOME SEXY, and makes people stop and admiringly ask you what kind of car you're driving!

RELISTED DUE TO DEADBEET BIDDER (misspelled deliberately because eBay doesn't want me to use that word, I might "offend" someone, oh my).

$500 deposit required via Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.
Balance due within 3 business days via cash or Bank Check.  Bank check must clear before you can drive the car home.
This car has a CLEAN TITLE IN HAND.  There was a minor dent in a fender YEARS ago, since fixed and you can't tell at all (it'll show up on your Carfax).  NO SALVAGE CRAP HERE!
I can meet you at the Nashville airport if you choose to fly in and drive it home rather than have it delivered.
More pictures or video of running car available upon request, even a Facetime video if you want to watch the top in action!  
I encourage you to come test drive this BEFORE you bid.
PLEASE ask all questions BEFORE bidding.  You're bidding to own this car, not bidding on a chance to come look at it.  All bids are final, car is sold as-is where-is with no warranties express or implied.

Thanks for bidding, and good luck!

Little Red Racing Car Kickstarter project a father/son affair [w/video]

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Tales of fathers and sons, whether told for adults or for children, never go out of style. It's appropriate then that The Little Red Racing Car, a story about a father and son finding and restoring a 1955 Maserati 300S, is such a stylish piece of work.
Author Dwight Knowlton first started working on The Little Red Racing Car when, after his son was born, he "went looking for the perfect Father/Son/Car book" and couldn't find one. Knowlton's artwork in has been influenced heavily by vintage automotive advertising and Grand Prix posters, and has a very clean, art deco vibe as a result.
Of course, TLRRC is still just a work in progress. Knowlton is hoping the Kickstarter community will help to get the ball rolling, and raise $25,000 to the book printed and distributed. The author even has a stretch goal to have the whole shebang made into and animated film - we love big dreams. Follow on below to hear Knowlton's pitch in his own words, or jump over to his Kickstarter page to look further or buy-in.

Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.

Maserati ramping up production of Ghibli, Quattroporte

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

While Porsche may be relatively new to the four-door game, Maserati has been building the Quattroporte with few interruptions since 1963. But like its rival from Stuttgart, the Trident marque is rapidly shifting from a sports car company primarily to a manufacturer of high-end family transportation. Not only does it have the new Quattroporte on the market, but now it's got the Ghibli sedan as well and the Levante crossover on its way.
It's a gambit that's reaping huge benefits not only for Maserati itself but also for its newly merged parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which is finding the mass market less lucrative than it once was and is positioning both Maserati and Alfa Romeo against other luxury marques like BMW, Audi and Porsche. As a result, Maserati is considerably expanding its production.
Last month, Maserati sold over 3,000 cars, putting it on track to double its sales from 2013. But it's not about to stop there. With growing demand for its authentically Italian luxury sedans, Maserati is shifting more workers to its assembly plant in the Turinese suburn of Grugliasco (where the QP and Ghibli are made) and shortening vacation time to ramp production up from 750 cars per week to 900.
