CAR IS A COMPLETE ONE OWNER CAR THAT NEEDS MECHANICAL AND SOME COSMETIC EXTERIOR RESTORATION. IT KIND OF RUNS. THIS CAR SAT FOR 22 YEARS IN THE ORIGINAL OWNERS GARAGE BEFORE I GOT IT TO RUN. THE WEBER CARBS ARE REBUILT BY ONE THE BEST CARB REBUILDERS THAT I KNOW. THE FUEL LINES AND THE GAS TANK WERE CLEANED. YOU CAN GO TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR HAIG THOMAS BABAIAN AND SEE IT RUN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 22 YEARS. IN MY OPINION, THE MOTOR WILL STILL NEED TO BE REBUILT AS THE MOTOR HAS WEAK COMPRESSION IN 3 CYLINDERS MOST LIKELY FROM BAD VALVE SPRINGS AND QUITE POSSIBLY RINGS AS WELL. THIS IS NOT A CAR THAT YOU CAN DRIVE RIGHT AWAY!!. THE STARTER WENT BAD IN IT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE A REPLACEMENT CHRYSLER HIGH TORQUE STARTER IN HAND ALONG WITH MANY MANY PARTS INCLUDING A NICE EUROPEAN AIR CLEANER HOUSING TO REPLACE THE TERRIBLE US VERSION ALONG WITH THE OTHER PARTS THAT I HAVE AMASSED FOR THIS CAR IN THE THREE YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. AMONG THE OTHER BAD THINGS ON THIS CAR IS THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED AND IS NOT REPAIRABLE. THESE UNITS ARE AVAILABLE. USED ONES ARE MORE AFFORDABLE, NEW ONES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. THE OIL PAN HAS A CRACK BUT I DO HAVE A REPLACEMENT PAN FOR IT. UNDERCARRIAGE IS VERY NICE AND MOST OF THE BODY PANELS ARE VERY STRAIGHT. THERE'S SOME MINOR DAMAGE AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER WHEEL OPENING THAT CAN BE EASILY REPAIRED. THERE'S SOME RUST IN THE FRONT DOORS ON BOTH SIDES THAT LOOKS TO BE PRETTY REPAIRABLE AS WELL AS SOME BUBBLING AROUND THE HOOD VENTING. INTERIOR IS THE STANDARD SADDLE COLOR AND IS IN NICE CONDITION. THIS CAR REALLY NEEDS THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION, AND BRAKES REBUILT AS IT HAS SAT FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AND A COSMETIC BODY RESTORATION OF WHICH IT IS WELL WORTHY OF. TOO MANY OF THESE CARS DIE THE DEATH OF DISASSEMBLY AS THE DISMANTLER BELIEVES THAT THEY HAVE A GOLD MINE IN PARTS BECAUSE ITS A MASERATI AND THEY LATER ONLY COME TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE NONE OF THESE CARS LEFT AND THE SPARE PARTS AREN'T WORTH MUCH BECAUSE THERE AREN'T CARS ANY LEFT. IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT FOR PARTS THAT'S FINE BUT I WILL NOT BE SELLING ANY INDIVIDUAL PARTS OFF OF IT. BUT IF YOU WANT TO RESTORE A CAR THAT NOBODY WILL HAVE AT A CRUISE NIGHT THEN THIS IS FOR YOU. THESE CARS AREN'T NUCLEAR REACTORS WHEN COMPARED TO MODERN AUTOS BUT WERE STATE OF THE ART IN TECHNOLOGY FOR THEIR DAY. IT DOESN'T SCARE ME AS FAR AS A RESTORATION PROJECT. I CURRENTLY HAVE TWO OTHER COLLECTOR VEHICLES AND I HAVE NO STORAGE SPACE FOR THIS ONE. IF NOBODY WANTS TO BUY IT THEN IT WILL GO INTO STORAGE SOMEWHERE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND I WILL RETURN TO IT AND COMPLETE IT. AGAIN THIS IS A PROJECT VEHICLE BUT HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL. BOOKS AND MANUALS COME WITH THE CAR AS WELL AS A BOAT LOAD OF SPARE PARTS..........CLEAR ONE OWNER TITLE IN HAND..........
