Car was taken all the way down and restored. NADA Classic Car shows the value to be at $16,565 for Average Retail, and $25,085 for High Retail. This one is a lot closer to High Retail condition. I purchased this car from Desert Valley Auto Parts (aka Desert Car Kings as seen on Discover Channel), so it was bone dry with no rust when I got it. It took me a little over two years in restoring it. The original Fisher Body plastic coating was still intact on the underbelly and frame. The "build sheet" shows it was built in Sacramento California and sold new at a dealership in Albuquerque New Mexico. So it has spent its entire life until now in the desert plains. This is a "TRUE" Muscle Car Era vehicle, with a rare "working" Ram Air Hood Scoop.
I completely disassembled the car and replaced, reconditioned or upgraded every aspect of the car down to the nuts and bolts. It was amazing to see solid floor pans and trunk metal. Not a bit of rust around any of the window/windshield openings. After stripping it down, everything received a fresh coat of zinc chromate or heavy primer.
This is a list of "NEW" items that went into the vehicle: Grill, Aluminum Radiator, Headlights, Wiring Harnesses (All harnesses - bumper to bumper), Fuel Pump, Fuel Sending Unit, Fuel Tank, Water Pump, Alternator, Holley 650 Spread Bore Carburetor, Doug Thorley Ceramic Coated Long Headers, Magna-Flow Stainless Steel X-Pipe Exhaust System, U-Joints, Front End "Completely" rebuilt (i.e. Tie Rod Ends, Upper/Lower Control Arm Bearings, Bushings, etc.), Polyurethane Bushings "Throughout", SSBC Front Disc brake Conversion, Head Liner, Upholstery, Door Panels, Carpet, Weather Seals "Everywhere", Buick 15" Rally Wheels, Good-Year Eagle GTII Tires, Vinyl Top, Upgraded Radio W/USB Adapter, Power Antenna, All New Lamps, etc.
This is a very rare car in that the production numbers are very low. I painted the car the correct VIN Number color which is a Twilight Blue Poly. The car drives as good as it did when it came off the showroom floor (maybe even a little better). I have driven this car very little since completing the restoration. I used nothing but quality parts and materials in the restoration (Year One, Auto parts Place, Original Parts Place, SSBC, Holley, Magna Flow, etc.). Serious offers only please, but I am open to all reasonable offers. Anyone who has ever restored a vehicle knows what goes into the project and my asking price is "VERY" reasonable.
This car is being advertised on Auto Trader Classics at the same time, so this auction could end early if a serious buyer is found. On the Auto Trader Classic site (just do a narrowed search), it has a walk-around video with the car running. If you want to see a complete photo file of the restoration, just ask and I will send a link for you to view.

No surprise here, the Maserati Alfieri has been delayed again
Wed, Oct 19 2016It happened again. Maserati has reportedly delay the gorgeous Alfieri coupe, the concept version of which made its debut way back at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. According to a report by Autocar, the 2+2 sports car has been put on the back-burner and is now expected to arrive in 2020 – at the earliest. Giulio Pastore, general manager of Maserati Europe, told Autocar that the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio are more vital to the automaker's lineup than the smaller Alfieri. Once Maserati replaces those aging models, it will then shift its focus onto the Alfieri, Pastore says. After the Alfieri concept was unveiled in 2014, reports emerged that it got the green light for production and that a production model would hit the road as soon as 2016. Then the delays started happening, with China's weakening car market as the culprit. More recently, a report claimed that Maserati would have the Alfieri on the road in 2018. With that now pushed back a few years, and the chance for more delays, the car might need a redesign before it goes into production.

Maserati Grecale and Alfa Romeo Tonale delayed
Mon, Oct 18 2021MILAN — Maserati on Monday delayed the launch of its new Grecale SUV until the spring of 2022 from November this year due to a global chip shortage. The announcement by the luxury brand, part of Stellantis, comes as a shortage of semiconductors forces automakers around the world to slow or suspend production. Maserati said its decision stemmed from ongoing disruptions in the supply of parts. "In particular, due to a scarcity of semiconductors, production volumes would not adequately meet expected global demand," Maserati said in a statement. A global premiere for the Grecale, which will be produced in Cassino in central Italy, was initially scheduled for Nov. 16. Stellantis this month also confirmed it would present the Tonale, the new Alfa Romeo SUV, next March after it had been expected at the end of this year. Stellantis, formed this year though the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has halted production at several plants, including in Europe and Canada, due to the chip shortage. It has forecast it will produce 1.4 million fewer vehicles this year. The FIM-CISL union has said the impact of a semiconductor shortage on Stellantis' Italian production this year will be worse and longer-lasting than the damage to output caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Maserati's next sports car shown in heavy camo
Wed, Nov 20 2019Maserati has started the process of re-tooling its historic Modena, Italy, factory to build a new sports car scheduled to come out in 2020. Full details about the model remain under wraps — even its name is a mystery — but the very first batch of images provided by Maserati and brought to you exclusively by Autoblog reveal several key points about it, including a few that we didn't see coming. The photos douse cold water on the rumors claiming Maserati's next sports car would be essentially a toned-down version of the Alfieri concept introduced in 2014. The test mule depicted in the images is heavily camouflaged, but its proportions, the size of its cabin, and the huge vents behind the doors suggest it's a mid-engined two-seater, not a front-engined model with a 2+2 interior layout. Autoblog learned the test mule is powered by a completely new drivetrain, but your guess is as good as ours when it comes to what it's made up of. Regardless, it was designed and built entirely in-house, and it will spawn a family of drivetrains that will exclusively power the company's vehicles. Starting from scratch is a huge undertaking. Engineers will closely analyze the data gathered during the testing phase, and use it to fine-tune the drivetrain on its research and development department's simulators. The improved components will in turn be road-tested. Maserati's new approach to vehicle design relies heavily on simulators, but head of product Joe Grace told us real-world testing remains hugely important. The company puts about 3 million miles annually on its prototypes. While the photos beg more questions than they answer, they confirm Maserati's renaissance is around the corner. The company will introduce its next new model during the Geneva Motor Show in March 2020, so we expect to learn much more about it in the coming months. It will be followed by the next-generation GranTurismo and GranCabrio, which will be available with the company's first electric powertrain, and by a new SUV positioned below the Levante.
