My wife own this cars twin. She just loves it. It's in dry storage now. I think they originally sold for something like 33K. Now it's worth about 2k and going down daily. I told her to will it to our son and have him bring it out in 30 years.

Are you mad at your son?

Your right. I guess that would be really harsh.

There was a maroon one available here in Guthrie, OK. Population 10,000.
The owner died. He was a really nice guy. His sister was trying to handle everything from out of state. One of the local shop owners asked me to take a look at it and give him a value, I am guessing because I own some odd ball stuff.

I guess there are some folks that really like them (hey, your wife does, so that's good for something, right?)

The 500 or so built with the Getrag 5 speed and the Cosworth made head do have a bit of a cult following. But even those don't bring much. The rest of them really don't have much of a Maserati touch.

Launched to coincide with Hanukkah in 2016, Burger King's SufganiKing (Donut Burger) was a hit in Israel, the only country in which it was available.

Burger King Japan's RiNGO Burger - "ringo" being the Japanese word for "apple" - launched in the winter of 2013. It featured a Whopper topped with a slice of apple that was covered honey mustard, giving the sandwich a distinctly sweet taste.
