PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE COPIED & PASTED THE CARFAX TO THIS VEHICLE BELOW. PLEASE

TO VIEW IT.

1984 Maserati Quattroporte in very good original condition with only 84. xx miles since new and still wearing its original light cream colored paint. A two owner car. the first an airline pilot and the second current owner a professional mechanic who has owned the car for the last nine years. All original books and records. The car both cosmetically and mechanically is in very good condition. The wheels are showing their age and there are a few dings here and there (hardly noticeable unless you are looking for them as cream is a very forgiving color) but is otherwise in excellent shape. The lavish and opulent interior that these cars were known for is near flawless. Mechanically the car needs nothing with the exception of the front suspension bushings which should be replaced. Please note that new front busings will be included in the sale. Everything functions and works as it should. In addition. the transmission was rebuilt approximately 50. 00 miles ago as the current owner felt it wasn't quite right when he purchased the car. Please note that the catalytic converters as well as most of the other smog equipment (these parts are still available and come with the car if so desired) have been removed from the car so that it could perform up to its potential. Smog equipment during this time and the limited technology that accompanied it really hindered optimum performance. This is a rare car that you don't often see up for sale especially in this kind of condition. Here is your chance and opportunity to own it. Don't miss out. Below is an excerpt for Wikipedia describing this generation Quattroporte:

Considered a "businessman's Maserati. the Quattroporte III was presented by newly empowered Maserati chief Alejandro de Tomaso and his design staff in 1977. This was a rear wheel drive car. powered by a large V 8 engine. It was important to de Tomaso that there be an Italian vehicle to compete with the recently launched Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6. 9.

The Quattroporte III marked the last of the hand-built Italian cars. All exterior joints and seams were filled to give a seamless appearance.

In 1976. Giorgetto Giugiaro presented two Ital Design show cars on Maserati platforms. called the Medici I and Medici II. The latter in particular featured hallmarks which would make it into the production of the third-generation Quattroporte. At the 1977 Turin Motor Show. Maserati announced the Quattroporte III (Tipo AM 330). which took much from the Medici show cars. based on Maserati's Kyalami coupé. which in turn was based on the De Tomaso Longchamp. Special styling emphasis was placed on linearity. which was also useful to reduce tooling cost.

The sumptuous interior of the QP III

The Quattroporte III went into production in 1979. 9] equipped with a 4. 36 cc V 8 engine (confusingly but steadfastly referred to as the "4200" by Maserati) producing 255 hp (188 k W). 9] later 238 hp (SAE) (177 k W)[citation needed]. Also available was a 4. 9 litre V 8 (280 hp at 5. 00 rpm[9]). One distinguishing characteristic of the vehicle was its particularly lavish interior. The automatics initially used a three-speed Borg--Warner automatic transmission. soon replaced by a Chrysler Torqueflite gearbox. Manual gearboxes were ZF-built five-speeds. The smaller engine was phased out in 1985. When leaving the factory all "4200" Maseratis were originally fitted with Pirelli Cinturato 205 VR 15 tyres (CN 72).

From 1979 up to 1981 "4 porte" badging was used. changed to Quattroporte for up to 1989. In 1986. the Maserati Royale. a handbuilt to order ultra-luxury version of the Quattroporte III. appeared. The engine was upgraded to 295 hp (SAE) (220 k W).

In all. 2. 55 Quattroporte IIIs were produced. 8] one of them for Italian presidential use. Production ceased in 1990. Turinese coachbuilder Salvatore Diomante also offered a 65 cm longer limousine version. fully equipped with white leather. "abundant burr walnut". mini-bar. video recorder and many other necessities. The price of the Diomante limousine at introduction (1986) was a rather steep 210 million lire. [8]

The production figures for the Quattroporte are as follows:

There were 2100 4 portes and Quattroporte IIIs produced between 1979 and 1989.

The remaining 55[citation needed] or 53[8] cars were Royales. manufactured between late 1986 and 1990. These were US$80. 00 cars that were built to order only.
