5 speed manual transmission – NOTE: In interest of full disclosure - the 3rd gear synchronizer is a little weak, condition has been same and unchanged since approximately 60k miles.

HARD DOG SCCA-legal rollbar with single diagonal ($$) - for looks and safety, never raced
Brand New Black Top installed this year ($$)
4 Brand New Falken ZIEX512 tires ($$)
CHE stainless header (factory manifold with intact precat included... if shopping, BEWARE of other spyders that still have the factory manifold, the precat often fails and destroys the motor in the process)
New air filter, new serpentine belt, all new DENSO O2 sensors, new battery, recent front brake pads,
New in the box rear brake pads included, extra rear Falken full tread tire included that needs a patch due to a nail.
Has the usual small, cosmetic imperfections of a 10 year old daily driver, most notably clear coat on the rear bumper cover is failing and the rims could stand to be re-powdercoated. Please email me lumbertonob @ yah00 d0t c0m for a file with detailed pictures of all known flaws.
Car has been a DREAM to own and I’ll miss it! Would prefer to sell to a fellow enthusiast. My wife and I love the car, but our FIRST BORN(!) is due in January and it may be time to move on to a family car.
Bid to own, not to inspect. Again, contrary to carfax, I have the clean and clear title in hand with NO lien against it. I will make every attempt to show this vehicle to all interested parties during the next week. (cell phone: 609-980-1697)

Maserati to show GranCabrio MC in Paris
Mon, 24 Sep 2012Maserati sure seems to be milking the GranTurismo franchise for all its worth these days. In addition to plenty of limited editions and sport models for both the coupe and convertible, Maserati recently launched the MC version of the hardtop. Now, ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show, the Modenese automaker has dropped details on its latest iteration of the GT platform, the GranCabrio MC.
Visually, the droptop's most noticeable change is its new face, which has been lifted directly off the MC Stradale coupe. This means the car is a full 48 millimeters longer than the standard and Sport versions of the GranCabrio, but we like the decidedly more aggressive look to that big ol' schnoz. The large rear spoiler has also been reworked for the MC, providing even more downforce to keep that large body firmly glued to the road.
Maserati has not released powertrain details, but we assume that the GranCabrio MC uses the same 4.7-liter Ferrari-sourced V8 as the MC coupe, good for 444 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Maserati and Lamborghini pull out of Iran
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Daimler is out, Toyota is out, Porsche is out, Hyundai, PSA Peugeot-Citroën are out and when it comes to selling cars in Iran, now Maserati and Lamborghini are out, too. The definitive pullouts of those last two automakers are said to be reactions to a press conference held by a group called United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI). The group highlights businesses that sell in both the US market and Iran, and works to get those businesses to choose one market or the other.
UANI said it had sent letters to Maserati and Lamborghini about their dealings in Iran, but that the letters went unanswered. Mark Wallace, head of UANI and a former US ambassador to the United Nations, held a press conference in October of last year that referenced the two companies. Apparently Lamborghini contacted Wallace just after the press conference and told him "they were out, they weren't doing any business in Iran anymore."
Discussions with Maserati then took place, and the Italian automaker said it had been out of Iran ever since Fiat announced it was leaving the country in May 2011. UANI said Maserati had been in talks with an Iranian distributor, however, and that distributor was continuing to use the Maserati name. The carmaker has since cut all ties with Iranian interests and has prevented its name from being used, adding that its new models will not be able to be sold there because they won't pass regulations the country's regulations.
Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru
Wed, 13 Nov 2013There'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.
