5 speed manual transmission – NOTE: In interest of full disclosure - the 3rd gear synchronizer is a little weak, condition has been same and unchanged since approximately 60k miles.

HARD DOG SCCA-legal rollbar with single diagonal ($$) - for looks and safety, never raced
Brand New Black Top installed this year ($$)
4 Brand New Falken ZIEX512 tires ($$)
CHE stainless header (factory manifold with intact precat included... if shopping, BEWARE of other spyders that still have the factory manifold, the precat often fails and destroys the motor in the process)
New air filter, new serpentine belt, all new DENSO O2 sensors, new battery, recent front brake pads,
New in the box rear brake pads included, extra rear Falken full tread tire included that needs a patch due to a nail.
Has the usual small, cosmetic imperfections of a 10 year old daily driver, most notably clear coat on the rear bumper cover is failing and the rims could stand to be re-powdercoated. Please email me lumbertonob @ yah00 d0t c0m for a file with detailed pictures of all known flaws.
Car has been a DREAM to own and I’ll miss it! Would prefer to sell to a fellow enthusiast. My wife and I love the car, but our FIRST BORN(!) is due in January and it may be time to move on to a family car.
Bid to own, not to inspect. Again, contrary to carfax, I have the clean and clear title in hand with NO lien against it. I will make every attempt to show this vehicle to all interested parties during the next week. (cell phone: 609-980-1697)

Ferrari LaFerrari supercar to spawn Maserati LaMaserati?
Fri, 22 Mar 2013CAR reports Maserati may benefit from the introduction of Enzo-succeeding Ferrari LaFerrari (shown below). According to unnamed parties, Maserati is keen to create a successor for the MC12 (above) based on the bones of the new Ferrari.
Details are about as scarce as they come, but CAR reckons Maserati has a few options when it comes to building its own supercar. Those include using the suspension, chassis and electrical systems of the Ferrari but with a unique carbon fiber body and without the LaFerrari's hybrid system. The new take on the MC12 could use a detuned version of the 6.3-liter V12 from the LaFerrari or stick a quad-turbo 3.8-liter V8 behind the front seats.
The latter option could see the next MC12 yield up to 900 horsepower, putting it within reach of its cousin as well as hardware like the McLaren P1. Of course, all of this - including our fanciful name in the headline - is just speculation for the time being. CAR says that if the machine makes its way to production, it would could cost well over $1.3 million.
2013 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale gets its groove, seats back
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale was exclusively a two-seater, but here in Geneva, the big Italian coupe gets its rear thrones back. We don't know if the addition of rear passenger space will help improve sales of this special trim of the aging GT, but it's at the very least an excuse for Maserati to shine a few lights on its gorgeous two-door.
Under that rakish carbon fiber bonnet is the same Ferrari-sourced 4.7-liter V8 we've loved for years now, tuned to 460 horsepower in this application and mated to Maserati's MC Race Shift six-speed automatic transmission. Other updates for the MC Stradale include new 20-inch alloy wheels and a smattering of new materials inside the cabin.
Yes, it feels like we write about some version of the GranTurismo every time we attend the Geneva Motor Show, but this car still tickles our fancy each and every time. Scroll down for the press blast and check out the four-seater for yourself in the high-resolution gallery.
Watch Maserati prep this Quattroporte for Geneva by hammering on its sheetmetal
Tue, 05 Mar 2013There are untold amounts of primping and set up that goes on in the days leading up to an international auto show. Of course, there are exhibits to erect, lights to hang and scripts to rehearse. There are also cars to prep. Usually the latter involves little more than removing finger prints and dusting, but in the case of Maserati the day before the Geneva Motor Show press days, the process apparently includes banging on the sheetmetal of one of your prized showcars like a crazed woodpecker.
We're not sure what caused a surface irregularity in the door skin of this 2014 Quattroporte - perhaps shipping damage - but it was interesting (and mildly painful) to watch, and hear, a show prepper attempt to repair this six-figure sedan with what looks like a jeweler's hammer, high-intensity light and soft cloth.
That'll buff right out.
