Well ole buddy ole pal of mine, Mr. Allan, maybe not on the getting in trouble on bringing back a 16 valve TC, the 1 of 11 Black Beauty 16 valve sold tonight on ebay. I am going to miss the ole girl. She was something special, she got a lot better after you and Rick doctored on her. I hope ole Kirby isn't watching, he and I will both start tearing up. It is going to someone that has wanted a 5 speed since they the TC's were new and he bought a buick reatta instead. So it may take me 18 or so years but I finally bring them over to the right side. ha ha Now I don't know if I want to take the yellow 5 speed off ebay now. If it sells, I will have no 5 speeds, and it has an unbelieveable reserve, and the Buy it Now is pretty special also. What will I do? Oh woahs me!. I got one out there though, that is real special that I am waiting patiently on. And anyone that knows ole lets buy 11 of these Maserati beauties in 60 days, Jasper, knows I am not known for my patience. ha ha I will see ya'll in a short time. I will be in on Saturday. When are you and Pat coming? Ask Pat if I owe him any parts? I owe someone some headlights. I need a reasonable top motor if you have one handy. I would gladly replace it shortly if I can borrow one today. Sound familiar? ha ha Tell them Jasper is a coming, and then we can all party-party. Jas PS I do need a ginger armrest. Please put my name on one. Will bring a core for exchange. I will pick up one for Lou if you end up with an extra one, if you want me too Lou. I should have another core around here somewhere. Now Allan, you will notice I am getting much better, I did not even ask how much? Yes much much better. hahahahahah Give me a shout when you get a chance, or email me. Jas PSS I wonder is anyone has pulled a 18 foot Donzi with a TC before? It would only be from Kansas City back to north alabama. Jas

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MiamiTVR</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Didn't the first one just go through eBay? I know we communicated about it at some point. </div></div> Strange thing happened to me on the way to sell a Yellow TC 5 speed. The buyer sent a large deposit and was supposed to pick up the car 1st part of March. Well long story shorter, I don't hear from him 2 to 3 weeks at a time, always going to be there sunday and never shows up. Nobody, waits over 2 months for a car to be paid for. DUH! Anyway the Yellow TC is listed again on ebay and it reflects a $2,000 discount on the buy it now and many more items thrown into the deal than last time. There are over 1k worth of extras included with the buy it now. Let us see if someone knows a bargain when they see one. I have found 2 other 16 valves I am wanting, or I would be a player on both these cars. Let me know if anyone needs any questions answerred. Both are good cars. Seller would really like to sell only one of the two cars but has both for sale to see which one goes 1st. Everyone is always saying you never see any of the 16 valves for sale. Here is 2 of them at reasonable prices. Thanks for looking, Jasper PS if any member that wanted either car brought to the national meet in Tuscon 1st of May, would be glad to do it for around 1/2 of what a car shipper would charge. Nothing wrong with having one shipped but if we can help save someone some $ would be happy to. Jas

Wanted you all to know 1st, there is 2, count them 2, Maserati TC's with the ultra Rare 16 valve 5 speeds on EBAY starting tonight. Both look good for the $. See what you think? Any questions contact ole Jasper at 256-777-0844 or mishunaire@aol.com. Getting the garage ready for a couple of newcomers. Don't worry they are gonna be TC's. Hope to see some of you at the National Meet in a couple weeks.

Ole Jasper is a coming. All by hisself, I am looking forward to it. I, as last year, am coming carless. I am going to swipe the keys to a certain yellow car that has gobs of HP though and go for a top down spin. I figure while the owner is up under one of the cars he will be repairing in the parking lot, It will be easy to grap the keys and run. ha ahhaahahahah I will be flying in solo, Rose is going to stay home and take car of the puppies. Somebody find me a TC 5 speed to bring back from out there. Jasper

I know that, it would be for me. I am needing one for some other reason. I am getting real low over here on the other other coast. Getting down to a scary #. Thinking may be able to pick up at the National. Call me when you get a free moment. Jasper

Hey Alan, you see this? Hmmmmm? Jasper

Will be back in a couple weeks. Anybody want to drive an award winning Maserati TC from Titusville Fl. to Asheville for a short Vacation? Will pay all expenses and air fare back. hmmmmmm? Jasper

ZOOOMMMM! Jasper

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 89TC-16V</div><div class="ubbcode-body">who thinks the customer even cares who Rick Diego is? </div></div> Well, if I had a 16 valve car & was only 50 miles from one of the few experts in the country that knows how and what to do on these extremely rare and wonderful cars, I would CARE lots & lots. You have to remember that although I am crazy enough to buy 11 of these cars in 60 days, you should really appreciate the crazy part when you know I do not know which end of a screw driver to hold or use. AS I have always said, golf clubs fit nicely but would not know what to do with a wrench if I could figure out which end to use. Rick has saved my butt several times and also great thanks to Alan in Southern Cal, but that is a long way to haul a 16 valve to get a little work done. Rick keeps them running fine and by the way if we want to do some real betting, I would have put this yellow car up against any stock 16 valve Masi in the country and I mean for $100's of dollars. It is/was super quick for a stock Masi. Yeeee Hi! Jasper

Well I say higher than that. Now we just have to decide whether we are going double or nothing with me as the winner on the last bet or you were the winner. Lets hear it folks, do I get credit for delivery, extra parts, or letting them have the infamous name and # of the Guru of 16 valve performance engines? Customer is paying $6300 plus $200 for the extras. That is $6500 in my book. Jasper

Not too hard to find 16 valve parts, if you know where to look. I thought I would never even see a 16 valve when my Dad and I were looking at and for the TC's in 1990 & 1991. Now I can show you over 10 for sale right now. It just depends on how & where you look. This forum has been amazing to me. If you watch, you can & will get some bargains, except on headlights. ha ha Jasper

What about if I threw in the top caddy and car cover and sold him Rick Diogo's phone # for an extra $200? I ought to get a little credit somewhere you know. ha ha Now what do you think my 70k 16 valve triple black show car completely restored would bring on ebay? hmmmmm? Considering putting it up, but I do not think I will have the courage to throw it up with No Reserve! What is your # on that one 89tc? Double or Nothing! I am going to take lower or higher on this one. Ya'll come! Jasper

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: TwinCamFan</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Any idea what stae that car will end up in Jasper??? Alan </div></div> I can tell you one thing, it isn't going to be California. ha ha I may get my $6500 yet, & win my bet with 89tc 16v. I am offering the buyer total shipping for $200, which if I am not mistaken brings the total to $6500. Hmmmm? Ole Jasper just a swangin!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jeffn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">He has his critics-they say he 'cold reads' people and spends lots of time missing rather than hitting. I guess one would only know by a one on one experience like yours. </div></div> I believe the critics have not witnessed him doing it live. Most of the things he hits are not readily recognizeable since you are not thinking in that vein, but I would say he hit us about 75% correct while we were there but it turned out to be around 95% when I got home and was able to check with family members and think thru some of the things he said. Now as far as the things he hit on some of them were things only I would know, not even my wife of 30 years knew. So long story short he is the real deal. My main reason I like what he does, is I have never seen or heard him say a harsh word about someone or their relative. He only brings in positive things and helps so many people with their loss of a family member. My wife needed something from her Mother that had passed within the last couple of years and although she gets little symbols from her Mom that they discussed before her passing, she came thru loud and clear with my dads help and Rose needed that very badly. It was wonderful and she is a much more at peace person afterwards. It was wonderful hearing or whatever it is called from my Dad, but I did not need it, I already had him with me everyday since his passing. He is just always there watching after me and trying to keep me from being a complete FOOL. haha I always thought John Edwards may be able to read peoples minds but that does not explain how he gets certain things from before our lives that we do not know about. We find out later from other family or friends of the family. I have seen him help thousands of people. I do know it was something special for us and will last the rest of our lives. I also thought a lot of my family would think it nonsense but almost all of them have had a positive veiw about it. We would all like to REALLY know and feel there is something else after we cross over. I KNOW, & I will be driving a TC 5 speed of course, pulling a Donzi Boat! Tell em Ole Jasper says hey!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jeffn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I guess it pays to read every post in here. Here's some irony for you Tommy: we have an antiques shop about 2 miles form John Edward's office on L.I. We had tix to see him in November but got snowed out that night(the only snow of the year here). I'll have to drive by his office and show off a TC in the flesh. </div></div> There you go, he was supposed to do a follow up and come down to florida and come by and see us. If you get a chance, he is down here a lot more than most places. I think he likes the sunshine. ha ha He is very special at what he does. He takes a lot of the guess work out of this life. Everybody needs a little Woo Woo in their life. If you have not seen him in person, you are missing something. Keep trying. Ya'll hollar when you come south. Tell em Momma n em, seys Hay! Jasper

We got both Mike. Let us know mishunaire@aol.com. We are in east florida to eastern NC in the next 10 days. Jasper

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jeffn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Holy spirits batman, John edward the medium read a guy who has a couple TC's! How clairvoyant. </div></div> Jeffn, 11 of them TC's not a couple. We are doing our part to bring the TC's into the known world from beyond. HA HA That was my Dad that came thru on John Edwards show talking of our wonderful TC's. If you believe in that stuff OK but take it from a skeptic, you had to be there. Take a minute and read the post from "small mention of our cars", pretty much all of the story is on that post. The longest one of course. Tell em Jasper says Hey!

JustinC </div></div> Justin, we have a matched pair with cornering lights and frames with the top covers with the turn knob that you remove from the top of the light to get to them while in the car. They are not cheap but reasonable for a matched set all inclusive. Email us at mishunaire@aol.com or 256-777-0844. Thanks, Jasper

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 89TC-16V</div><div class="ubbcode-body">sold for 6300$, thats cheap considering, somebody got a good deal </div></div> Not quite $6500 but close.

I say it gets to $6500 and it will not be pulled. By the way I do have some engine pics finally for those that were asking. Remember this one has not been restored but is areal deal survivor. I mean SWEEEEETTT! Email mishunaire@aol.com for engine pics. Jasper

A milkcrate would have been a blessing, got to remember that next time. I had this little 12 inch tall mission footstool to sit on and everytime I pushed in the clutch, whoops, there he goes again. I could barely see THRU the steering wheel and then I would fall over and start up cussing again and there were people about to fall over from laughing so hard, including my dear sweet wife. That reminds me, I got to get her for that! Jasper

Everything is off the car now. So any needs let us know, still have quite a few parts available. Jasper 256-777-0844

How could you tell at those speeds? The little Yellow Rose seems to have stalled at $4300. Come on you 16 valve fans out there, the Head and headlights are worth $4300, now lets get some bids on the rest of the beauty or I might lose my bet. Don't wait till the last minute, my heart may not take it. Cmon $6500! Yea Baby! Jasper says, Momma n dem says HEY!
