HERE IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE AN UNTOUCHED 1964 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE SERIES 1 . HERE IS A BIT OF HISTORY ON THE CAR: IT WAS FIRST SOLD IN ITALY, WHERE IT STAYED FOR A FEW YEARS, BEFORE THE OWNER MOVED TO THE U.S. THE CAR WAS SHIPPED TO THE STATES WHERE IT HAS SPENT THE REMAINDER OF ITS LIFE---UNTIL TWO YEARS AGO, WHEN I PURCHASED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE INTENTION OF RESTORING IT. SINCE THEN, I HAVE REBUILT THE FRONT AND REAR CALIPERS, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, FLUSHED ALL OF THE GAS TANKS, AND INSTALLED NEW FUEL LINES. THE ORIGINAL 10" CLUTCH WAS SEIZED SO I PULLED THE TRANSMISSION AND CONVERTED THE UNOBTAINABLE ORIGINAL CLUTCH TO A MORE DEPENDABLE AND AVAILABLE 9.5" FERRARI DAYTONA BORG AND BECK CLUTCH KIT. I RECENTLY PERFORMED A COMPRESSION TEST ON THE ORIGINAL ENGINE AND ALL 8 CYLINDERS WERE WITHIN 5% OF EACH OTHER, WITH COMPRESSION AT AROUND 170PSI. THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT UP AND SOUNDS VERY HEALTHY, HOWEVER, I WOULD RECOMMEND RECONDITIONING THE ENGINE WITH ALL NEW GASKETS,SEALS, AND BEARINGS SINCE THE ENGINE IS 50 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A VERY EARLY CAR, EQUIPPED WITH THE DE-DION REAR END, INBOARD DISC BRAKES AND THE EARLY S5-325 ZF TRANSMISSION AS FOUND ON THE GHIBLI OR ASTON DB5. THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAR MORE RELIABLE COMPARED TO THE LATER S5-20 ZF.  ALSO, NOTICE THE SINGLE CIBIE HEADLIGHT SETUP WHICH IS A FAR MORE ATTRACTIVE DESIGN. THE EARLY QUATTROPORTE HAD A BETTER SUB-FRAME ASSEMBLY THAN THE LATER CARS. THE SUB-FRAME EXTENDS PAST THE FIREWALL, ALL THE WAY TO THE CENTER SECTION ON THE CAR, UNLIKE THE LATER CARS WHERE THE SUB-FRAME WOULD END NEAR THE FIRE WALL PROVIDING GREATER STABILITY AND BETTER HANDLING AT HIGH SPEED. THIS CAR DID NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH AC FROM THE FACTORY. THE BODY IS VERY SOUND WITH NO RUST ON THE CHASSIS, FLOORS OR HOOD. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL BUBBLES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS. THE PAINT IS CRACKING AND LIFTING IN A FEW PLACES. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE HOOD SHOWING THE PAINT LIFTING OFF BUT THERE IS NO RUST! THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONLY SOLID QUATTROPORTES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET.  THE INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL AND SHOWS TEARS ON THE DRIVER SEAT WITH LEATHER CRACKING IN A FEW OTHER PLACES. THIS MASERATI WOULD BE A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR RESTORATION AND BE THAT AS IT MAY, WITH ONLY A VERY FEW QUATTROPORTES REMAINING ON THE ROAD, THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO A MASERATI COLLECTION. RARELY DOES ONE COME UP ON THE MARKET, ESPECIALLY IN ITS ORIGINAL PATINA.  THE CAR IS REGISTERED IN MY NAME WITH A CALIFORNIA TITLE. THE CAR IS LOCATED NEAR WASHINGTON DC. CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. SHIPPING IS AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE AND PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF AUCTION.   photo DSC09769_zpsfa928d77.jpg  photo DSC09766_zps542b6b02.jpg  photo DSC09767_zps02365c3e.jpg  photo DSC09771_zps55505c92.jpg  photo DSC09770_zps2423202d.jpg  photo DSC09810_zps41ca5058.jpg  photo DSC09798_zps5f6f4115.jpg  photo DSC09786_zpse15d9816.jpg  photo DSC09783_zpsa84332d9.jpg  photo DSC09807_zpsb6e548ac.jpg  photo DSC09806_zpse9e90b4c.jpg  photo DSC09758_zps7c4c50bd.jpg  photo DSC09761_zps80812557.jpg  photo DSC09763_zps32218fd1.jpg  photo DSC09764_zpsecefd744.jpg  photo DSC09801_zps65b72b9f.jpg  photo DSC09802_zps92485eab.jpg  photo DSC09800_zps4e73fac1.jpg  photo DSC09782_zps07ca7505.jpg  photo DSC09781_zps82791205.jpg  photo DSC09803_zps4915c095.jpg  photo DSC09804_zps20803756.jpg  photo DSC09816_zpsd467ed33.jpg  photo DSC09815_zps889ef5d1.jpg  photo DSC09817_zps8c73ecfc.jpg  photo DSC09799_zpsa35fc2e3.jpg  photo DSC09797_zpsf0da9005.jpg  photo DSC09796_zps6bf620bf.jpg  photo DSC09798_zps5f6f4115.jpg  photo DSC09795_zps977212f6.jpg  photo DSC09793_zpsf7f9dd45.jpg  photo DSC09794_zps7a605a13.jpg  photo DSC09792_zps6cf97789.jpg  photo DSC09756_zps1275fd68.jpg  photo DSC09774_zpsaebe2d91.jpg  photo DSC09772_zps307038ba.jpg  photo DSC09773_zps88b8a7be.jpg  photo DSC09775_zpsdd76c895.jpg  photo DSC09779_zps740abcd8.jpg  photo DSC09755_zps66a92f2d.jpg  photo DSC09753_zps3de6502d.jpg  photo DSC09751_zpsa5b69697.jpg  photo DSC09744_zps89f4a8d8.jpg  photo DSC09746_zps36ebde80.jpg  photo DSC09736_zpsd69fb059.jpg  photo DSC09739_zpsb33c4f56.jpg  photo DSC09777_zps974a7759.jpg  photo DSC09776_zpsad80afb5.jpg  photo DSC09778_zpse0e883d2.jpg  photo DSC09809_zpsac91bfa0.jpg  photo DSC09821_zps33a920f0.jpg  photo DSC09750_zpsdefb5fdd.jpg

Maserati Alfieri Concept draws from the brand's past, looks to its future

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

We may be just as (if not more) used to the idea of Maserati making four-door passenger cars as we are of Porsche or Aston Martin doing the same, but the Trident marque is no less routed in producing sports cars than its German and British rivals. The trouble is that, now seven years on the market, the GranTurismo is Maserati's only two-door model, and it's growing a little long in the tooth to serve as the brand's halo car. Especially when it starts looking back at its history on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. So to mark the milestone, and reconnect with its more sporting past, Maserati has rolled in to Geneva with the concept car you see here.
It's called the Alfieri, and we've been anticipating its unveiling since (if not long before) rumors surfaced last week of its impending arrival, followed by confirmation from the manufacturer and the leaked images we brought you mere hours ago. But now it's been unveiled in the metal.
The Alfieri's wheelbase is 9.5 shorter than the GranTurismo, but packs the same 4.7-liter naturally-aspirated V8.

Watch Edo Competition pit a Ferrari FXX against a Maserati MC12 Corsa on the 'Ring

Fri, 03 May 2013

High-zoot supercar tour organizer Gran Turismo Events held its annual Nürburgring track day last month, and in addition to the amateur punters the gates were opened to two tuned supercars from Edo Competition: A Maserati MC12 Corsa and a Ferrari Enzo ZXX. The ZXX, in case you've forgotten, is the same love child of Edo Competition and Zahir Rana's ZR Exotics that belly flopped into the Atlantic during the 2011 Targa Newfoundland.
We get a trip around the Nordschleife with both cars during a no-doubt quick but not insane lap, on board with driver Patrick Simon in the 755-horsepower MC12 and 'Ring queen Sabine Schmitz following in the 840-hp ZXX.
That should be all the build-up you need when the action's in the video below.

Maserati and Zegna to roll out limited-edition Quattroporte in Frankfurt

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Back in April, Maserati announced a new partnership with men's clothier Ermenegildo Zegna. We wondered at the time how a Maserati could possibly get any more stereotypically Italian stylish, but now the Modenese automaker is presenting the answer in this fresh take on the new Quattroporte.
When the doors open at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, Maserati will unveil the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition concept car. That's their name, not ours, and if you're wondering how a production vehicle could be turned at once into both a concept and a limited edition, well... we don't know, either. Maserati says that it previews a production version to follow next year.
So, confusing nomenclature aside, what are we looking at here? For starters, there's a special platinum-color paint finish with tiny aluminum flecks and a gloss-black primer to give it that extra-deep luster. And the interior has been upholstered in "moka" and "greige," with leather seats, door panels and headliner and other surfaces finished in Zegna's own textiles.
