I still love Maser, don't get me wrong. If I could afford something vintage at the moment I would. I found a guy in Golden Colorado still using a 1967 Quattroporte as a daily driver to Boulder!! Anyway, I asked him if he wanted to sell, and he came back with "Well, if I got the right offer". Seems to me that when someone says that, they are really trying to say, "How deep are your pockets?" Then he went on and on about how he had thousands in brake work done, because he had to have custom parts made. . . It was a beater, but I guess at least it ran, and well. It had the 4.7, I believe, with a manual. He also often drove an early '70's BMW 2002. Kind of cool. Now that I've veered steadily off course. . .
