1980 Quattroporte III for sale

[89Spyder]

Hello,

Here is a 1980 Quattroporte with about 36,000 miles. The car was stored in a warehouse in 2016 and wasn't driven since. Body has NO rust NO dings but paint is pealing, mainly
because of the clearcoat. Interior is quite good and no tares on seats. I tried to start it and turned out that the gasoline turned into varnish - so a whole fuel line cleaning is needed +
the 8 carburetors must be cleaned and rebuilt. When I spray starter fluid, or even a little bit of gasoline, the engine fires up and appears to be very healthy. This car deserves a loving restoration! If some one is really interested, I'll try to pull it out and get better pictures.

Looks like a few old motors there. Be interesting to find out what else it lurking under the tarpaulin

Only the QP III is for sale.

In which country is this car?

LHD and American spec bumpers so perhaps Leftpondia? Methinks it would have to be cheap to be viable.

You could well be right. But they are all LHD, as the QP III was never offered in RHD.

Sorry Ewan, I didn't realise that. If I was in the market for a III, I think I'd be looking at this one:

The car is in San Diego, California.
I think $4000 will take it.
