Maserati NO it's not mine, No it's not for sale, Yes I have posted pics of it before. It is one we restored and is back in for some additional carb werk. Black GTV-6 belongs to the guy I werk with.

Orange on the valve covers is not original (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I've just got a plain jane 440 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Only other pic of the GTV-6 I have

An hour here...an hour there....Drove it arouind the block this morning before going to werk on the tranny waggin. Left a rubber trail to find my way back to the shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Prolly gonna spend a couple more hours in the engine bay, cleaning and blacking it out. Got something a wee bit special in order for the air intake (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) bad news is I have found ALOT more missing parts including the base for the passenger seat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Took a couple hours yesterday to work on the carrier and my friends Fury. Dropped the carrier 2" and got the Fury running ....again...... Here's a couple shots as well as a comparison next to the Vulva. I wan to put the bike next to it sometime. I'm pretty sure the DOOR is about as long as the motorcycle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Great detail job on the motor! The paint don't look too bad. I'll bet an hour or two with a buffer & polishing compound, it will shine. That is a true "land yacht"!

Actually ( and unfortunately ) the paint is crap. It's cracked all up and the buffer made almost no difference. I eve tried wet sanding a sot on the hood....waste of time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It's gonna have to stay like this until I, or the next owner, starts stripping it.

You should carry a 914 as a lifeboat on that thing. Chrysler breaks down, no problem just winch down the teener and go for help!

So I got kind of carried away with my water pump swap. I had planned on the valve covers, but once I got in there the engine was gross, the A.C. compressor has always bugged me, then I got sick of that God awful gold paint. Dirk made me do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Then whats the point in putting on nice, newly painted valve covers and a nice water pump, and A.C. delete setup and not changing out the plug wires ? Well if you're going to do all that and new plug wires surely an electronic distibutor would help. Now that all that has been dicided on it would be really lazy to not do something about the plug wires dangling all over the place right ? Oh and a friend of mine photoshop it with airbags. I hatre him now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Cool,

Just curious, and this is from not knowing how the current suspension functions.

How did you lower the front end? Are you cutting the springs, changing the perches, or do you have air bags?
For all I know it came with airbags as stock...some of the old luxury cars did, back in the day.

This has a torsion bar front end with a large bolt on the bottom. I cranked it about 15 turns and got it down 2.5" supposedly you can go as much as 3" before hitting the bump stops but mine at 2.5 is damn close (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I looked at the front suspension a couple days ago contmeplating the air bags. It would be pretty simple to fab up,

440 cu. in. + 750 C F per Min. = Both miles per gallon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) How much were we paying for gas back then? My Uncle had a new Mercury conv. back then. The trunk was big enough to carry a VW in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
