1985 Maserati Biturbo... NO RESERVE!!!

Vehicle Description

THIIIIIIIS is a 1985 Maserati Biturbo. I have owned it for about three years now and I have come to the realization that I will never finish it because I don't have time. It ran and drove great when I got it. There was a little hesitation at high RPM's and it needed a little tuning. Other than that, it ran like a raped ape and was very fast. I took it to a local mechanic and had all the brake likes replaced. He noticed there was a kink in the fuel line near the tank, so he straightened that out and attempted to tune it to get rid of the high RPM hesitation. It has never run the same since. We think it developed an oil leak in the driver's side turbo while it was in the shop and it is sucking oil into the engine fouling it out and making it seem like it is running rich. This is probably why the mechanic had trouble tuning it. It will start and idle but as soon as you try to drive off in the car is usually stalls. So, it needs to be towed home. If you are bringing a trailer, make sure you have a winch because it probably won't make it on the trailer under its own power.Here is what the previous owner did just before I bought it:-New clutch master cylinder-New clutch slave cylinder-New clutch throw out bearing-New thermostat-New coolant overflow tank-Rebuilt carbThings I did:-All new copper brake lines-Sway bar end links-Temporarily installed a fuel cell (the car has fresh gas) ...I do not have the original tank.-Installed an aftermarket fuel pump-Replaced all components of the parking brake-New spark plugs-New plug wiresThings I know are wrong:-It needs the carburetor tuned properly-The clutch makes a noise when released but engages perfectly and the car has always ran through the gears just fine. (I'm told it needs to be bled)-It has a large oil leak on the drivers side, It appears that the turbo is leaking internally and externally. I believe the engine is sucking the internally leaked oil from the turbo into the engine causing the drivability problem as mentioned above.. -There is an exhaust leak at a joint. It simply needs to be reattached with 3 new bolts.-The right front brake caliper leaks.The car really looks pretty good. The paint is still shiny and what I would call driver quality condition. It has plenty of imperfections here and there. There is rust on the bottoms of both doors and the front of both front fenders. The underside has no rust at all. There is one rust hole in the driver's side rocker. The interior looks fantastic. Usually the seats are all torn up but this car looks great. The leather is soft and supple. It is missing the headliner. Overall if you are handy and know your way around a carburetor and a turbo you should be able to have this car up and driving well in a weekend. It is an absolute riot to drive.If you have questions feel free to contact me through EBAY or call me at 630-334-6974 -Joe (No texting, please and thank you)LASTLY, THESE AUCTIONS COST REAL MONEY.
