1970 Fiat 850 Sport Spyder on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
You are bidding on a 1970 Fiat 850 Spyder. EBay Listings for the Fiat 850 Spyder have become scarce over the last few years and should continue to decline as restorable examples have been bought up. These cars are pure fun to throw into turns, dip into the throttle, and push near the edge of tire grip. It's unusual coil spring independent rear suspension and single leaf spring front end combined with the rear engine, rear wheel drive work great together. My preference is top down during the day in the winter, top down at night in the summer, right and left handers in any season. I've owned the car for 10 years after purchasing it on the West Coast. I have done almost nothing to the body or interior other than cleaning and minor repairs. The convertible top is new and, just like the car, has lived it's entire stationary life during my ownership in my garage. All the glass is perfect. The door hinges have been rebuilt. EVERY light, small or large works, and all the gauges work. Wipers, courtesy lights, horn, dimmer, hi-low switch, idiot lights, heater motor high and low, and the cigarette lighter all work. Door locks work, windows crank properly, and that is an NOS Vitaloni mirror on the driver's side. It has three new tires (don't ask) and a spare along with the original Fiat tool kit. The list of things done to mechanicals is extensive and includes:
Addition of the under car cooler was needed to drive in our toasty 95 degree summers. Negative items: There is one baseball size area of rust directly behind the gas pedal and some rust around the master cylinder. This is the result of someone spilling brake fluid around the master, which then ran down a drain hole into a flexible drain hose, ate through the drain hose (NOS hose has replaced it) and fell on the floor board. The rust around the master has been treated, I will leave it to the next owner to fix the floor board. The seams on the seats are starting to come apart so it is time for some repair. Otherwise the seats show little wear. The floor liner has seen better days. These can be purchased as a kit or replaced with carpets. Please note that the vehicle is sold as is, where is, without any warranty. I have tried to be thorough describing the vehicle as possible. I am happy to answer questions. A $500 pay pal deposit is required within two days by the winning bidder. The balance must be paid in 5 days by cash or by certified bank check and shipping will not commence until my bank has verified non returnable receipt of the funds. Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will assist in any way I can. |

Marchionne: FCA, but not Ferrari, interested in Formula E
Sat, Aug 5 2017It seems like automakers have been clamoring to get on board with Formula E lately. In just the last few weeks a number of manufacturers have either become more directly involved, or otherwise announced entry into the series in coming years. That includes Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, with the latter two abandoning other series to join the electric one. Now, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne says his company might join Formula E as well, according to Motorsport. Previously, Marchionne had toyed with the idea of bringing Ferrari into the Formula E field, but now says that would be unlikely. Instead, he thinks an FCA brand would be a better fit, perhaps Alfa Romeo or Maserati. At the moment, Maserati seems like the best fit, as Marchionne just announced that the brand would electrify its entire lineup after 2019, with each car it sells having either a hybrid or electric powertrain. Fans would probably be excited to see Maserati return to racing, and Formula E would be a good test laboratory for the development of electric propulsion technology. Still, another brand could represent FCA in Formula E, and apply the knowledge learned there to its vehicles, as Marchionne says half of the FCA fleet will be electrified by the end of the company's five-year plan ending in 2022. Marchionne said that while Ferrari won't be directly involved, he doesn't know which FCA brand – Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, or Maserati – would enter. As interesting as an electric Dodge race car would be, it seems unlikely, especially because of, well, Maserati. We're hoping it's Jeep, though.

New Maserati Ghibli, Levante F Tributo special editions honor a legend
Fri, Apr 23 2021Maserati is harkening back to its racing heritage with two special edition models: the Ghibli F Tributo and Levante F Tributo. Maserati had its Formula One debut in 1954 in the legendary 250F driven by Juan Manuel Fangio. Maserati says the F Tributo honors Fangio, who was a five-time World Champion, the first F1 driver to achieve that feat. Fangio originally drove for Maserati in 1952-54. He returned to Maserati in 1957 and won his career-defining fifth World Championship in a Maserati 250F. The special edition cars are available in two colors: Azzurro Tributo (bright blue) and Rosso Tributo (bright red). Bright blue represents Maserati's home city of Modena, while bright red is the traditional racing color of Italy. The cars' yellow brake calipers and wheel accents are a reference to the red-and-yellow livery of Fangio's Maserati 250F. Red and yellow also are used inside, where buyers can choose either as the contrast stitching for the black "Pieno Fiore" leather. Outside, 21-inch black wheels, black badges, and a body-color trident logo complete the look. The Maserati Ghibli and Levante F Tributo were unveiled at Auto Shanghai. Maserati will offer the two Fangio specials in the U.S. market, and a total of 345 will be produced worldwide. The Ghibli F Tributo is based on the S GranSport ($88,035) or the Q4 GranSport ($90,535), both of which feature a 424-hp turbocharged V6. The Levante F Tributo also is based on the S GranSport trim level ($95,385) with the same engine. Pricing of the F Tributo will be available closer to the North American on-sale date of June 2021.

2022 Maserati Ghibli, Levante and Quattroporte get new trim levels
Wed, Jun 30 2021Maserati's three-car lineup soldiers into 2022 with some new trim levels for the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans and the Levante crossover SUV. Say arrivederci to the GranLusso and GranSport nameplates and buongiorno to the new GT and Modena monikers. They join the Trofeo, which arrived last year as the top-of-the-line variant for sedans after having been introduced on the Levante in 2018. In the Ghibli, the GT is powered by the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 making 345 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It also gets 18-inch alloy wheels and chrome accents outside, with leather "comfort" seats and Dark Mirror trim inside. The Ghibli Modena features a 424-horsepower version of the V6 engine with 428 lb-ft. Restyled bumpers with black inserts and 20-inch wheels complete the look outside, while the interior boasts "wraparound" leather seats. The top-drawer Ghibli Trofeo returns with its Ferrari-built 580-horsepower twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 with 538 lb-ft of torque (top speed: 203 miles per hour). The Ghibli Trofeo is also denoted by its carbon-fiber exterior trim, 21-inch wheels and red brake calipers. The Quattroporte GT uses the same 345-hp twin-turbo V6 as the Ghibli GT. The bigger sedan does upgrade to 19-inch wheels outside and what Maserati refers to as "radica" trim inside. In the Quattroporte also, the Modena again uses the 424-hp V6, rolls on 20-inch wheels and is dressed up inside with piano black accents. The Quattroporte Trofeo also rocks the 580-horse twin-turbo V8, carbon-fiber exterior, 21-inch wheels and red brake calipers. The Levante GT again uses the 345-hp V6 but deviates from the sedans with its 19-inch wheels and piano black interior accents. The Levante Modena gets the 424-hp V6, but a Levante-exclusive Modena S model swaps in a 550-hp version of the turbocharged V8. The Levante Modena S also has black exterior elements (the Nerrissimo Pack) and red calipers. The Levante Trofeo gets the full 580-horse version of the V8, again with carbon-fiber exterior trim and 21-inch wheels (with 22-inch available). Pricing has not yet been released for the 2022 Maseratis, although the cars are available to order starting July 1. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
