A lot has been written about the truly magnificent success stories credited to Lee Iacocca. But like all extremely successful businessmen, there is always at least one spectacular failure. For Lee it would be his decision to cut a deal enabling Maserati to be a Chrysler brand. This resulted in the Chrysler TC by Maserati, a $600 million loss for Chrysler.

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.

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.
