Must sell to pay IRS this rear.  Would not sell if didn't have to raise the tax money.
This Spyder is in remarkable condition.  There are only a few minor rock bites,one on the nose and two by the rear wheel well. Pictures are attached.  The only item not working on the car is the power antenna.  The motor runs but, I believe the antenna was broken off prior to my purchase.  Radio works just fine without it.  I have owned two of these vehicles and this is the best one yet.  There is very, very little wear on the driver's seat exterior bolster.  Also, both defrost vents are cracked from the sun.  ALL of my 3000 GT's and Stealths had this issue.  There are no known mechanical problems of any type at this time.  I have religiously changed the oil and fluids for the past two years of ownership.  I use Pennzoil Synthetic oil.  The brakes are sound, both disk and emergency.  All options work except power antenna. Top retracts and restores flawlessly with all glass moving as it should.  I have also replace the hydraulic fluid in the reservoirs due to age and trash in the tanks.  Additional fluid will be provided with the car. I also will include the top diagnostic cable for the car that troubleshoots problems.  This came from one of the members on the Yahoo site.  There are no interior leaks around the top or windows.  
I purchased the car two years ago for $15,500.00 from a person in Las Vegas.  I drove it home to Kentucky without any trouble.  I have had no trouble to date except changing the battery and replacing the header mounted limit switches for the convertible top.  I have also replaced the nose and tail "Mitsubishi" decals as the originals were very faded.
All parts were purchased from 3S Warehouse in Pennsylvania.  A great resource for 3000 GT items.  Also, I replaced both interior door panels as the areas around the arm rest had billowed due to heat exposure.  While doing that, I replaced the front door speakers with Fosgate speakers as they were slightly torn from age.

I do not have the original wheels but I did keep some of the parts from the door panel replacement.  These are included with the vehicle for no extra charge.  I also have a remote for the car but, I needs to be programmed to this vehicle.  It will also go with the car.

This car has every feature available on SL model.  While it is not a VR4, it has significant power and almost all of the same options except all wheel drive.  I have had a Stealth Twin Turbo and it about took my head off when I floored it.  I am now too old to do that kind of thing so this cars performance suits me just fine.
Read the reviews and visit the forums on the 3000 GT on Yahoo.  They are very helpful and great sources of encouragement when you feel overwhelmed by the sophistication of the vehicle.   

Payment should be cash and cash only.  I may help with the delivery of the vehicle if it is sold to the east side of the Mississippi River.  Please feel free to have the car inspected by a third party.  Only ASE mechanics have touch it since I owned it but, I am not a mechanic and cannot vouch for any performance or operational issues other than those mentioned above.  I will cooperate fully on any inspection.  The new owner will be responsible for all costs of licenses, fees, taxes, shipping and any other costs above the sales price.  I reserve the right to sell the car locally and withdraw it from E-Bay upon sale.

I am available to answer any questions and wish to sell this car PRIOR to April 15, 2014.  However, I will be flexible if necessary. I have purchased many cars over E-Bay and understand about paying so much for a vehicle, sight unseen.  That is why I encourage an inspection.  It is cheap insurance for peace of mind.
Thanks for looking! Bid high and bid often so that both of us can meet our needs and the new owner of the Spyder will have a dynamite car to cat around in this summer.

Maserati switching to in-house twin-turbo V6 and turbo four

Fri, Jun 26 2020

Automotive News has been able to put some output figures to the two primary engines that will power Maserati's renaissance. Last year the Italian luxury brand sent notice that it would terminate its deal to with Ferrari to use the Maranello-sourced F160 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and F154 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8. As new Maserati models appear and current models are overhauled, the brand will begin installing either Maserati's own 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, or an FCA-sourced 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The V6 will greet the world from the middle of the MC20 supercar poised for debut in September, assuming nothing goes worse with the world than it already has. Rumor from Mopar Insiders and Allpar forums is that Maserati began building its V6 based on Alfa Romeo's 690T V6. Alfa Romeo puts the 690T in the Stelvio and Giulia Quadrifoglio, the engine's development having started seven years ago with Ferrari's F154 V8 as its heart. Tuned for speed, peak output could reach 542 horsepower. After making its home in the racy coupe, the V6 will also serve a new midsize Maserati crossover coming next year, as well as the next GranTurismo coupe and GranCabrio convertible. In the crossover, power is apparently limited to no more than 523 horses. In Maserati's new V6, one piece of technology that permits such high output and emissions friendliness is turbulent jet ignition (TJI). German supplier Mahle has been developing the technology for at least 10 years, and put it to use in Ferrari's Formula 1 engine about five years ago, after which Japan's Super GT manufacturers picked it up. Instead of a spark plug igniting fuel directly in the combustion chamber, TJI places the spark plug and an injector nozzle at the top of a "jet ignition pre-chamber assembly." The injector shoots a mist of gasoline into the pre-chamber, the spark plug fires, and the force of ignition in the pre-chamber sprays the combustion through tiny holes at the bottom of the pre-chamber into the cylinder as the piston rises. Mahle says the shorter burn and improved combustion spread means cleaner-burning gas engines that emit fewer emissions.   AN says that the "new V-6 engine will be 'electrified' in some form." It's not clear if that means all versions of the V6 will get some sort of hybrid assistance, or if — as had been thought — there will be a non-hybrid unit.

Maserati orders triple on strength of Quattroporte demand in China

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Considering Maserati sold all of 6,300 cars globally in 2012, its goal of selling 50,000 by 2015 seemed like a bit of a stretch to say the least, but it turns the Fiat-owned automaker was on to something. Reuters is reporting that Maserati has already received about 17,000 orders for cars this year, with help from the new 2014 Quattroporte and strong demand in China.
The US continues to be the top market for Maserati sales, but the report quotes Harald Wester, brand chief executive, as saying that China is now the top market for Quattroporte. As big of an improvement as this is it bears mentioning that the Ghibli isn't even on sale yet and the Levante SUV, a redesigned GranTurismo and a new 911-fighting coupe are still waiting in the pipeline.
