NO RESERVE!!


New pictures up.  The first one was taken 5 minutes ago in my driveway.  The last one is me driving down the road yesterday showing 80 on the speedometer, in 6th gear, cruise control on, with fantastic oil pressure and good coolant temperature (no the steering wheel isn't cocked, it lines up and drives straight, was just trying to take a picture and steer at the same time).

This car has been my baby and my daily driver for the last year and she's been awesome, but it's time to let her to go someone who will appreciate her more.  I'm 42 and I travel for a living, so I don't really use the full potential of this car and want someone to have it who will really enjoy it!  I'm the 3rd owner, it originally was sold on the West Coast, moved up to Washington State for almost a decade, then came down to Nashville.  It's NEVER been in the snowbelt, no rust issues.  

Only 457 of these were made, less are around now, very rare!

You will NOT find another one like this out there.  How do I know?  Because Mitsubishi did not offer the VR4 Spyder in Black on black colors, and I have recently completely replaced all the cream interior that goes bad so quickly with all NEW black leather seats and new carpets, it looks brand new!  All power functions work perfectly, including the top which has been recently calibrated by a Spyder technician, power steering, cruise control, windows, everything works!  No smoking, no loud lifter tick, no squeaking, no rattling, just a solid driving slick black driving machine; fly in and drive her home today!

Over the last year she's been completely refurbished, and I have receipts for all of this work, including but not limited to:

New transmission rebuild - over $2,000, performed 2 years ago in Washington State
New Air Conditioning Compressor, Condensor, Dryer, and system flushed and filled - $1,000 last summer, blows super cold and auto climate control works perfectly!
New Driver's Side power window motor - $250 last summer
New Radiator, radiator cap, and thermostat - $400 last summer
New FULL PAINT JOB - professionally stripped down to primer and re-painted black with clear coat, looks AWESOME - $2,200 - 6 months ago
Headlights sanded down and refinished - $150 - 6 months ago, but could stand being polished again
New Black carpet - $400 3 months ago
New black leather interior - $1,000 3 months ago
New tires - $750 3 months ago
New shift boot - 3 months ago
New antenna - this month
New windshield washer pump and nozzles - this month

The chrome rims shine up VERY nicely but have normal road wear on them.  The car had the 60k done many years ago according to the previous owner but has not had the 120k service done, but it still drives perfectly, every day.  I even took it back and forth 4 hours each way from Nashville to Atlanta last month, it drove perfectly, no issues.

So, in the last two years, it's had over $7,000 of work done!  Where else are you going to find a Spyder with this awesome of maintenance history, WITH RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT??!!  

These are super rare, and getting more rare every year as people wreck them or part them out.  Get a car that turns heads, no one knows what it is, looks AWESOME SEXY, and makes people stop and admiringly ask you what kind of car you're driving!

RELISTED DUE TO DEADBEET BIDDER (misspelled deliberately because eBay doesn't want me to use that word, I might "offend" someone, oh my).

$500 deposit required via Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.
Balance due within 3 business days via cash or Bank Check.  Bank check must clear before you can drive the car home.
This car has a CLEAN TITLE IN HAND.  There was a minor dent in a fender YEARS ago, since fixed and you can't tell at all (it'll show up on your Carfax).  NO SALVAGE CRAP HERE!
I can meet you at the Nashville airport if you choose to fly in and drive it home rather than have it delivered.
More pictures or video of running car available upon request, even a Facetime video if you want to watch the top in action!  
I encourage you to come test drive this BEFORE you bid.
PLEASE ask all questions BEFORE bidding.  You're bidding to own this car, not bidding on a chance to come look at it.  All bids are final, car is sold as-is where-is with no warranties express or implied.

Thanks for bidding, and good luck!

Bid on the very first Maserati Ghibli Spyder [w/video]

Wed, Jul 22 2015

In reviving the Ghibli nameplate, Maserati may have applied it to a sedan this time around. But the original Maserati Ghibli was a coupe – and as anyone who knows their history of exotic Italian automobiles will tell you, it also bred a convertible. What you see here is the first example, and now it's going up for auction during Monterey Car Week. Maserati only built 128 examples of the Ghibli Spyder, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Ghia, making it a highly sought-after roadster and an icon of its time. This Ghibli – bearing chassis number AM115/S 1001 – wasn't merely one of them. It was the factory prototype, the one which the Modenese automaker displayed at both the Turin Motor Show in 1968 and the Geneva Motor Show in '69. The production models that followed featured some subtle changes, particularly to the trunk, filler caps, and door handles. But rather than hold on to the prototype, Maserati sold this yellow show car when it was done with it. The roadster was bought by one Ruggiero Capuano in 1969, who had it for six years before selling it to Libero Girardi, an Italian-American and Ferrari mechanic in Rhode Island, who in turn transferred ownership to John Ferro, his son-in-law. Ferro drove it for over a decade before putting it in storage for the better part of 30 years. Its current owner bought it from Ferro, took it out of storage, and put it on the concours circuit, picking up numerous trophies along the way. Having been properly stored, the Ghibli Spyder never required much restoration, and remains in highly original condition. That ought to make it a hot item even among the other notable lots that RM Sotheby's has lined up for Monterey this year. Though the auction house isn't saying how much it expects the prototype to sell for, Sports Car Market records that a Ghibli Spyder (also in yellow) was sold by Artcurial in Paris last year for over $1 million. Considering the provenance and condition of this prototype, we'd expect it to sell for even more. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Maserati MC20 Cabrio is a 621-horsepower Italian hair dryer

Tue, Dec 21 2021

Winter is officially here, but Maserati is already looking forward to warmer temperatures and more driving-friendly weather. It released the first official photos of the MC20 Cabrio, which is exactly what it sounds like: a convertible version of the recently-launched MC20 coupe. Maserati likes having fun with the camouflage it uses to cover its pre-production prototypes, it notably dedicated an early MC20 test mule to Stirling Moss, and it designed a cloud-themed wrap specifically for the MC20 Cabrio. Unfortunately, whether it features clouds or swirls, the camouflage does an excellent job of hiding key details and the photos ask more questions than they answer. For example, we know that this is a convertible but there's no word yet on whether it will have a power-folding cloth soft top or if it will be fitted with a removable roof panel. Roof aside, the Cabrio looks nearly identical to the coupe, which isn't a bad thing; we think the MC20 is one of the best-looking cars that Maserati has released, and its exterior design will influence other additions to the company's range, including the Grecale crossover. Both the coupe and the convertible are built around the same carbon fiber monocoque, and we're guessing that there won't be major drivetrain differences between the two body styles. Power for the Cabrio will come from a mid-mounted, 3.0-liter V6 that's twin-turbocharged to develop 621 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. Called Nettuno, it spins the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. More details about the Maserati MC20 Cabrio will emerge in the coming months. Sales should start for the 2023 model year. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Maserati returns to Indianapolis to commemorate historic win

Tue, 27 May 2014

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend, folks, and you know what that means: racing. There was the Monaco Grand Prix for Formula One fans, and back Stateside there was the Indianapolis 500. You might expect to see a name like Maserati pop up at the former more than the latter, but that wasn't always the case.
These days its all about Dallara chassis powered by Chevy or Honda, but over the course of a century there have been plenty of foreign automakers that have won the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. McLaren won it twice in the 1970s, Mercedes and Peugoet won during the race's pre-WWI infancy, and in between them Boyle Racing won it two years in a row with a Maserati chassis and engine.
The car was the Maserati 8CTF "Boyle Special," and its first win came 75 years ago. So to mark the occasion (as well as Maserati's 100th anniversary), the car was brought back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a revival lap. Unfortunately Wilbur Shaw, who won the Indy 500 three times (twice in the Maserati) and went on to be president of the speedway, died in a plane crash the day before his 52nd birthday in 1954. So in his place fellow three-time winner Johnny Rutherford took the wheel of the 8CTF in front of the gathered crowds.
