- I am selling my clean title 1966 Rivera Gran Sport , 
- rebuilt motor with less than 5,000 miles on rebuild, 
- 400 trans rebuilt about 10 years ago, 
- car had been repainted about 11 years ago and not done very well, body work is not very good on pass front fender body line
- the body is showing bad prep work in a few places so it is bubbling on doors and fenders and 1/4 lowers, there is battery acid that had eaten thru the DS fenderwell which is very common on these cars
- the underbody, floor pans and trunk are in excellent shape, see pics of the car on the rack, there is a little 2 inch piece of rust on underside of DS 1/4 panel -see pics
-the interior is very nice for original seats , dash , door panels etc
- am radio still works, along with the gauges= oil pressure, temp, amp meter, wipers, map light, signals,
- car still has original spare and jack set-up
-this is the single 4 barrel GS option with the "MW" coded 425
- has a homemade fan shroud but it is not correct but still functional, so I didnt want to remove it, but is definately not correct for this car
-car has the posi rearend, see pic
-GS logo on the fenders and the glove box as it should, along with correct 1966 only aluminum valve covers, and chrome air cleaner
-car runs and drives good, it does have a squeaking sound= which I think is either the brakes or the speedo cable but not positive on either just a guess
-the car runs and drives and stops, I just drove it 70 miles an hour and it floats nice, plenty of power, smooth shifting
- havent seen any leaks hitting the ground, 
- has redline aftermarket tires which were an option when new
-power steering is good and easy to use, 
- does now have a power seat option I added to the car but havent finished the wiring but does include the wiring and proper switch plate
- also this is a mid level optioned car has manual windows, but has rear defrost (that works), bucket seats with floor shift console, tilt wheel, 
-has keys for the ignition trunk and doors but the driver door latch is picky on when you close it, sometimes it latches, other times you have to pull up on the door = but i will include a latch that works correctly
-this is a project if you want to show this car, or you can just cruise in a 1966 time capsule, you can build it as you go, or just turn the key and just drive it!!!
-This car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction early due to local sale.

Watch Edo Competition pit a Ferrari FXX against a Maserati MC12 Corsa on the 'Ring

Fri, 03 May 2013

High-zoot supercar tour organizer Gran Turismo Events held its annual Nürburgring track day last month, and in addition to the amateur punters the gates were opened to two tuned supercars from Edo Competition: A Maserati MC12 Corsa and a Ferrari Enzo ZXX. The ZXX, in case you've forgotten, is the same love child of Edo Competition and Zahir Rana's ZR Exotics that belly flopped into the Atlantic during the 2011 Targa Newfoundland.
We get a trip around the Nordschleife with both cars during a no-doubt quick but not insane lap, on board with driver Patrick Simon in the 755-horsepower MC12 and 'Ring queen Sabine Schmitz following in the 840-hp ZXX.
That should be all the build-up you need when the action's in the video below.

Maserati's small two-seater could arrive by 2016

Mon, 13 May 2013

As a following act to the redesigned Quattroporte and the recently unveiled 2014 Maserati Ghibli, Maserati will be releasing a slew of new products in the coming years, including the next-generation GranTurismo, the all-new Levante SUV and a new 911-fighting coupe - possibly called Gran Sport. While all of this information was detailed last year in a leaked product plan document, there were no dates associated with any of the new products. Auto Express is now reporting that the new GranTurismo will be out in 2015 and the new smaller coupe is expected out in 2016.
According to the report, the new coupe will be smaller and sportier than the GranTurismo, and it will feature a mid-engine layout with a platform that isn't shared with the Alfa Romeo 4C. This product onslaught is a part of Maserati's plan to increase sales to 50,000 units globally by 2015.

1967 Maserati Ghibli puts the grand in grand tourer

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

Motor Tend technical director Frank Markus owns a 1967 Maserati Ghibli, bought back in the early 2000s when "they could be had for Camry money" - now Hagerty values them anywhere from $63,000 to $107,000. The grand tourer designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro outsold the more powerful and less expensive Ferrari 365 Daytona, and the more powerful and more expensive Lamborghini Miura.
Carlos Lago, host of the magazine's Ignition video series, figures it's because of the Ghibli's long-haul comfort and the tractability of its 4.7-liter V8 with 330-horsepower and 330 pound-feet accessed with a five-speed manual, even though he cites the powertrain and suspension as being behind the times.
There's no arguing about the Ghibli's sound, though. You can get several ears-full of it, as well as Lagos' and Markus' thoughts on the car, in the video above.
