I saw this and had to share - I figured this group would appreciate the sheer insanity. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___Custom-1982-Maserati-Quattroporte-5- -4-V8-626hp_W0QQitemZ120344444938QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewIt- emQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item120344444938&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3- A727%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 OK, it's a completed project. But can you imagine the amount of time, money, and probably alcohol it must have taken? And now someone has the fastest '82 QP on the planet. Awesome. -Jason

Replying to: lemmer (Dec 05, 2008 6:47 am) '82 Maserati 4Porto -- that would be a sweet car to have if the conversions were done well and the thing doesn't sound like a Hell's Bells hotrod. The 4Porto has the loveliest leather seats you'll ever experience, and if enough sound-deadening and balancing has been installed to block out the over-built Ford V8 (the Maser V-8 was very quiet and very smooth), this car would be a winner to cruise around the country in. This car is a monster, and you aren't going to fling it around like it was a BMW M5, so best keep it as a stately GT car that goes fast. The choice of gauges, wheels and steering wheel are unfortunate, but this is Las Vegas. I'm also not a big fan of 200 lbs of airtex piping all over the place. Also not sure if the double-shocks are going to jar your fillings loose in your teeth. It's a car that needs to be driven before it is bought, or you might end up with a freak here. Jay Leno might like it.

Replying to: lokki (Dec 05, 2008 4:58 pm) That Roadrunner pic looks kinda like an aborted Dukes of Hazzard stunt. Maybe for the pilot they tried using a '71 Roadrunner but discovered it sucked at jumping, so they went with the '69 Charger (and a few '68's and an occasional '70  ) instead?

Replying to: lokki (Dec 05, 2008 4:58 pm) Let's see---we got yer Classic Birds or "Little Birds", then yer Square Birds ("lets give the market away to Corvette") , then yer Bullet Birds, then yer Jet Birds (why that name?) and then the Dark Ages aka the "Big Birds" (appropriate as they weighed 4,300 lbs)...... 2002 T-Bird: "Let's make them all 6 cylinder automatics. No one will notice!"
