Up for sale  is my 1995 Mitsubishi Spyder VR4 with 56,500 miles.  Wife and I took it out this weekend to West Palm Beach FL and back, car is running awesome!   

Vehicle History

I purchased vehicle 2 years ago and drove 2,300 miles on an awsome trip down I10 from Arizona to Florida.  The auto was owned by a gentleman in his 60's, and I am in my 50's.  It appears the vehicle has spent most of its life in the low humidity of Arizona.  Currently it is in a dehumidified garage in Florida.  Of the 56,500 miles, I have put on 14,000 in the last two years.  The car has no damage history. The unique aspect of this vehicle is it's low milage coupled with being a daily driver over the past two years. Recently I have found and purchased a 1997 VR4 with 28,500 miles locally.  Being the 1997 VR4 makes 3 3000gt's at the house, thought it might be a good idea to skinny down to two.    I don't smoke, and the prior owner Ron did not smoke. The vehicle while in my possesiton has never been smoked in, the plastic ashtray does not have any burn marks or ashes the vehicle interior appearnce and fragrance is consistant with a vehicle which has never been smoked in.

Vehicle Condition

Exterior    The pictures taken we on 2/25/2013 and tell the story.  Most of the paint is original paint and although in near pristine condition, a close inspection will reveal scratches and some minor imperfections.  I had the trunk lid and convertible top repainted as the clear coat was showing its age.  The brand new paint and old look identical. 

Intererior    This is the origianl interior. The seats have some marks, as you can see in the picture, less than I would expect with a car of this age/miles.  Suprisingly the leading edge of the drivers seat (as you enter from the door) do not have the typical wear marks.

Mechanical     "Bone Stock" All maintenance is up to and ahead of date.  A full 60,000 mile maintenance is complete, including but not limited to timing belt, water pump, transmission inspection and flush, transfer case inspection, differential inspection, fuel filter, ICV, Fuel regulator - all the little stuff which will begin to cause issues.    New tires at 48,500 miles and the VR4 rims were cleaned and resealed so the tires will hold their air The tires appear to have 75% of its tread left.  Every button switch light system works on this car (well except one button)  The radio has two volume buttons one on the steering wheel and one  twist on/off button on the face of the radio.  The on off part works, but the twist part does change the volume, just never sure to what.  The steering wheel buttons work fine.  In 1995 and 1996 the radio has an AUX input which will accept Ipods/phone outputs.  Turbos sing like they should, and are original just like the rest of the car.  The trick to keeping your turbos happy and healthy is to allow the engine to cool (idle) before shut down.  The top works perfect.  Both hydrolic pumps which power the trunk and retractible hard top have had a complete flush and fresh hydrolic oil in July of 2012.  The only modification that has been done to this vehicle is the stock air cleaner has been replaced with a K&N air cleaner - Original air cleaner comes with car.

This car will not be what you expect.  I have beent he driver of this car for two years and have fixed and corrected any all issues to give to you a dream to drive.

 

Pro's & Con's

Pro

The vehicle had an extremly limited production run in 1995/1996 consequntly few are available.  Take into account this vehicle is original with low miles makes it a collectors car.  The Spyders (turbos and NA too) have been showing some appreciation in value on the market over the past few years.

This car gets phographed every 2000 miles or so (that I am aware of).    This is the only 3000GT (of the 4 I have owned) which gets photographed. It is a conversation piece wherever you go. You will be asked questions about it! 

Currently in service as a daily driver, ready to go cross county.  Would it be nice to get your new toy and fly in to Florida and go on a cross country drive to take her home?  She is ready fo the mission.

Low miles, Original, Mechanicaly up to date, No damage history, Never modded (except K&N air filter) - Original comes with the car for turning back to 100% stock.

Stored in low humidity Arizona and a dehumidified garage, extremly rust free undercarrige. - Don't underestimate the power of low humidity and its effect on corrosion as the vehicle ages.  This vehicle extremely is well perserved. 

ESC feature - Tour and Sport Suspension option - on some 95's and not on others, this one has it.

Florida title is in my hand

NO RESERVE this is a live auction!

Con's

Original paint and interior, has signs of ware far less to be expected with a vehicle of this age and miles.

Maserati and Zegna to roll out limited-edition Quattroporte in Frankfurt

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Back in April, Maserati announced a new partnership with men's clothier Ermenegildo Zegna. We wondered at the time how a Maserati could possibly get any more stereotypically Italian stylish, but now the Modenese automaker is presenting the answer in this fresh take on the new Quattroporte.
When the doors open at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, Maserati will unveil the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition concept car. That's their name, not ours, and if you're wondering how a production vehicle could be turned at once into both a concept and a limited edition, well... we don't know, either. Maserati says that it previews a production version to follow next year.
So, confusing nomenclature aside, what are we looking at here? For starters, there's a special platinum-color paint finish with tiny aluminum flecks and a gloss-black primer to give it that extra-deep luster. And the interior has been upholstered in "moka" and "greige," with leather seats, door panels and headliner and other surfaces finished in Zegna's own textiles.

Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.

Jay Kay's 1955 Maserati A6G/54 on the docket for Pebble Beach

Sat, 26 May 2012

Gooding & Company has revealed the highlights of its consignments for its Pebble Beach auction during the action-packed Monterey weekend. At the top of the list is the classic 1955 Maserati A6G/54 Frua Berlinetta currently owned by Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay. This Maserati, the show car from the 1955 Paris Auto Salon, features Frau coachwork, won Best in Show at the Salon Privé, and is expected to fetch between $1.5 and 2 million.
No less prestigious is the 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio convertible that belonged to Prince Louis Napoleon of France, grandson of Emperor Napoleon I and noted Bugatti collector of the time. Supercharged from the factory, the stunning two-tone droptop is projected to sell for $1.3 to 1.6 million.
Finally, an original 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra is on the docket, with pre-sale estimates at $750,000 - $950,000. See below for the full press release and watch this space as the classic car world gears up for Pebble Beach.
