I have had this car for under a year, purchased from a retired friend of the family (original owner) in Woodside California then driven to Phoenix. The car is in exceptional condition with only few minor blemishes described below. First and foremost, this Quattroporte has a perfect running 4.9 engine, no parts missing & all original under the hood, air conditioning is disconnected from drive belt and is untested, heater is untested as well, fan blows inside the car front and rear passenger. It was serviced about three months ago with new plugs, wires, cap/rotor/brush. Carburetors were synchronized and jets replaced. Oil changed about 800 miles ago, emissions passed in Arizona with flying colors and is currently tagged until next year. Transmission is a three speed torqueflite which was rebuilt no more than a year ago with all new cooling hose to and back from radiator, torque converter and starter, shifts 100%, NOTE; When the transmission was rebuilt, the rear main seal to the engine was replaced as well for good measure,  I personally drove the car around town in California attending car shows just to keep it running, I went to fill her up with gas on my trip back to Arizona, pushed the re-set the trip counter button as I always do & the odometer/trip counter has failed to work since, I drove it home and parked it in the garage, needless to say I will not be driving it anymore in order to preserve it's original mileage. The car's interior is near mint, shows it's low mileage- Floor mats look as though they've never seen a shoe, leather seats all around are 100% no holes/tears/stains including the driver seat and elbow rest. wood interior is slightly cracking from age but not noticable until you feel it with your fingers, Steering wheel leather looks unused, cloth headliner is intact and looks new, leather in the very rear back window shows slight shrinkage from exposure to sun. The electrical system is needing some attention, let's remember it's an 1982, so not everything on this car will be perfect, with that said, let me state that everything on the car works electronically, BUT it's intermittent meaning some features will function sporadically (on and off when it wants to) assuming it's a relay issue, radio, fuel door, clock, horn, are showing power, but low voltage, the radio is an aftermarket removeable face type, I was told it could be the culprit for all these issues but I refuse to remove it. My opinion is a good electrician should look at it. NOTE: what was mentioned just now is the only true CON about this car, ALL the windows, turn signals, dash lights, gauges (fuel level, fuel consumption, speedometer, temp, oil, tachometer (idles perfectly) both mirror adjusters, trunk switch, DUAL power seats, etc work 100% otherwise with the exception of the odometer as mentioned before. The body & paint are VERY clean, with only a few rusty blemishes on the bottom of the doors and a spot on the rear trunk (shown in the photographs), Chrome is 100%, grille is 100%, bumpers are 100%, two wheels were re-finished but the other two need help with aesthetics, otherwise the Campagnolo wheels are straight and not bent with NEW tires installed no more than 800 miles ago. I had the car on a lift and it was inspected, the two fuel pumps are intact, no issues to report, brake pads are OK, tires show no wear, no cracks or broken or missing pieces, dual exhaust looks & sounds good. Trunk is clean & has full size spare Campagnolo wheel with Pirelli tire mounted, no tools or jack included except for a lug wrench. All doors including hood and trunk open and close with a tight seal, no missing parts on the body, and has all original glass from 1982 including heated windshield with no cracks, the car has clearly not been driven much, she is currently street legal and will run forever as long as it's maintenance is done and would not be hard to get to show room condition, a fine example of Italian history, Arizona free and clear title in my name notarized and ready for sale. Shipping will be buyers responsibility, local pick up accepted but not recommended to drive out of Arizona since it's in the 100's here and the A/C is unknown as mentioned. I'm very confident that it will please anyone, I've removed my phone number due to some serious spam texts so if you have questions please ask, and dont forget to view the "AutoCheck" (States one owner but in reality I'm the second) Title is Arizona BOX "A" (Actual) mileage and has not been driven since title was issued in Arizona.

Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection

Fri, Dec 29 2023

Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage.  One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.

Maserati Levante SUV may be built in Italy after all

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

In July Fiat halted its investments in Italy, putting on hold plans for the Maserati Levante SUV to be built at the automaker's flagship factory in Turin. But Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, whose company owns Maserati, met with unions on Wednesday, and he may announce plans to move forward with production of the SUV at the Mirafiori factory if the CEO and the unions reach an agreement, Bloomberg reports.
Marchionne is reportedly about ready to build new cars at Fiat's largest and oldest factory, on the grounds that 5,300 workers accept extended temporary layoffs through most of next year in a slowing European auto market. If unions don't accept the deal, it's not clear whether Fiat would still consider building the Levante at Mirafiori or not.
The Levante, Maserati's first SUV, is based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee platform, and we reported two years ago that it would be built in Detroit next to its Jeep cousin. Obviously those plans have been altered considerably in the intervening period of time.

Singapore car salesman jailed for gambling away $280k Maserati deposit

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Kenny Rogers' country classic The Gambler is right about two things: you gotta know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em. A former Maserati salesman in Singapore is learning that lesson about when to step away from the table, after being sentenced to 33 months in prison for allegedly gambling away a customer's deposit of 350,000 Singapore dollars ($280,800).
According to Asia One, Allan Tan Buan Yuen was selling a Maserati in 2011. He told the customer that the car would take six months to arrive and cost 650,000 Singapore dollars ($522,000). While that may sound high, cars in the Asian country are notoriously expensive.
Yuen asked for a deposit of 150,000 Singapore dollars ($120,400), but instead of handing the money to the dealer, he placed the funds in his own account. Apparently, the customer didn't notice, and over the next few months Yuen received an additional 200,000 Singapore dollars ($160,400) towards the car from him. Clearly, this ruse couldn't last forever, though. When the buyer eventually inquired about his Maserati months later, Yuen admitted that he had already gambled away the entire fortune.
