I'm slowly starting to get the idea that it's soon time to find another Maserati (after restoring a Quattroporte III a few years ago, then selling...
It's the same overall design from the same manufacturer (don't recall, but I could look it up), but beefier and reinforced. The QP3 is a much...
Rumor has it that the electrical system was under-dimensioned for the amount of equipment it needed to power. Combined with a less-than-ideal...
Beautiful car, and yes you are correct the lighter leather interior was offered in the Arab/Middle Eastern market, everywhere else was "cognac"...
I'm pretty sure there's an overdrive option add-on for the 727, to add a "4th gear" on top for lower RPMs at cruising speeds. I looked into one...
When I rebuilt the TF727 in my QP3 I upgraded with a TransGo kit (https://transgo.com/products/tf6-tf8-904-727/), offered faster shifting (less...
Tom, I would suggest dialing the carbs in and trying that out for a while before you make a decision to go EFI. I've synced & tuned the Webers...

Mine was indeed cracked, at the post that’s hidden behind the mounting plate. If you go back in this thread, there was a guy that started 3D...
Indeed it does. There are overdrives made specifically for the 727 trannies, might be something to look into. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Can you tell us some more about using dry ice to scrape off old residue? I haven’t heard that one before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Gusti, First, download the user & service manuals from Ivan Ruiz’s website (thecarnut). To open the trunk manually, remove the rear license...
