I have to wonder if today you couldn't move that battery to the rear like the Merak does. No it's not desirable to add more wight to the rear but you could offset some of that by using a hi tech battery instead of just a lead acid variety. That compartment behind the driver's seat is one area.

I remember the car you speak of as it was all over eBay numerous times. Sorry but I have to wonder how well it could have worked anyway. There are just too many negative issues with that idea. I spoke with guys who turbocharged a 4.9 V8 and they broke the crank doing it. The issue of heat in that engine compartment is already bad enough WO adding turbos. I'd have to see and drive the car in warm weather to believe it actually worked properly.

Buy a nice original example if you want another Jorge. In stock guise properly sorted they are very nice cars but not rocket ships like today's supercharged or turbocharged cars.
Even my 84 Biturbo beat the pants off of the Bora up to about 110 - 120 mph.

Just my dos centavos.

Did you ever find your Espada S1?

 

Bob,
I am not interested in that Bora although it is very attractive. I had seen it on eBay and then it showed up in Houston. I met the owner and he told me what was being done. I was just curious how that had turned out.
No, no Espada, no Urraco, nor any hi buck cars for me right now. I am wondering if what we're seeing with these prices is another asset bubble. I rather be safe than sorry.

 

Hi Jorge,

The top of the hood has a vent to expell the hot air, but certainly makes sense that one would think it to be an intake.

Ciao,
George

 

George,
You're absolutely right. Careless use of words on my part.

 

Gentlemen---

Moot point!
Either way it does NOT work...

Regards.

 

Rare Maserati Bora Engine 4.9 QOHC 1 of 235 Complete w Carburetors & A

Off of a 1974 Bora.
Real cheap!

 

No Kidding! But ... posted 17 days ago and it's still there????????

Smells like a scam.

 

But how will you know how much it actually sells for. It it's gone quickly then that should be a good indicator.

Bored with your Bora or are the prices just too tempting?

 

Really close to my 73 Bora except mine has an all black interior and its a euro model. I too am interested to see what it sells for.

 

There were several back and forth with the seller, which demands advance payment only and no paypal ...

Attached a picture of the Engine number: AM 107 * 902 *

Best Regards

That's a long time ago.

 

Nice Bora, great color combo and the fact that it appears to have original carpets is a big +.
Priced right and if not gone already should be snapped up imeadiatly.
There, I chimed in.

Seats were redone. Was a 3 condition car cosmetically. Can't speak to mechanicals.

 

That is strong money for a #3 car.

I find it interesting my Bora has been in the family since 1978 and it just never really saw a jump in value until now. It goes to show high end cars come around in value if one holds long enough.

 

…but not too long? Funny how some seemingly narrow segments of "high end" can drop. Have a look at the softening values of '57-'58 Chrysler 300C/D's. The earlier '55-'56's seem to be holding well. Is it buyer demographics?

Cheers, -Art

 

It looks pretty good in the photos if not perfect. What makes this a #3 car who established that as the condition?
