Does anyone have any idea whether or not Maserati Shamal or Ghibli had ever been imported to US?
Where can I find one?

326HP V8, and engine sound is incredible.

Looks nice, I'd buy that for a dollar.

Looks like a cross of an old R32/33 Skyline, some sort of Jag, and some other kind of Nissan...

Nope, they were never officially imported into the States. They came out shortly after Masi pulled out of the States back in the late 80's early 90's.

Mean looking car though. But I would stay away from anything built by Maserati from that time period. Reliability was totally awefull. My Friend runs an Italian Garage, and the Masi BiTurbo's were some of the worst made cars ever. Engines lasted 30k miles if you were lucky.

Yeah but you are going to spend $5 just to keep it running.
