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.
