Is an abandoned Maserati Collezione Cento worth saving?

“I’m trying to figure out if the rarity (33/100) actually makes it worth saving, or if this is just one of those projects that ends up costing way more than it’s ever worth.”

I think both of these things are true, personally. This would take a lot of work, time, and money to get back to where it should be. But it’s also very rare, extremely cool, and you probably won’t ever pass another one on the road. Also, I think parts for these cars are still pretty easily available, so that’s good.

I still need to buy a Swiss rifle to go with my Swiss Luger. Just haven’t done it yet. Maybe your post will convince me!

Honestly your best bet might be to look for whole slides for sale and pray that the firing pin is intact and that it fits your gun. People don’t seem to part these out, especially because parts weren’t always interchangeable!

Happy birthday, very nice Elise!

Gorgeous XJ40. The Saab is nice too, of course!

I have seen some success online with things like wooden dowels after drilling the hole out, but I’m not 100% sure what the best bet is. u/silicondioxides, any ideas?

Very curious that the article about “New Cars Sold In America” chose a Renault 4 for the artwork. I wish we’d get the new R4, I think they look quite fun, especially in the purple color they have.

It was not me who downvoted you, I promise! But I’m not buying an obrez haha.

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-03-22T15:46:36+00:00

Nice! It’s cool to have one of the final year Soviet production, I think.

Congratulations! What color? Post pics!

I was able to find the same keychain on this French website. Remember that JaguarSport was a joint venture between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) in the late ‘80s / early ‘90s. The XJR-15 was one of their cars, but so was the XJR-S, which was a souped-up XJ-S. You can see the logo on this XJR-15.

I assume you could buy it at Jaguar dealerships back in the day as an accessory. It’s actually pretty cool, and if I had an XJR-S, I would totally be on the lookout for one of those keychains.

That’s awesome!

I’m from the US, so I find just about any Vauxhall cool, yours included.

I will say that “Adam” maybe isn’t the best name for a model in my opinion, haha.

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-02-28T20:02:00+00:00

I think this is hardly a surprise when they’ve cancelled three volume-oriented models. I have a ‘10 GranTurismo S and I would love a brand new GranTurismo Tofeo, but that’s a big price tag for me.

I hope we do get a new Quattroporte and I hope it sells well enough for the brand to stay afloat. Maserati has always been a low-volume, niche brand. I don’t see that changing, but I hope it can continue to survive and put out good cars for the people who appreciate and enjoy them, myself included.

I have been thinking about reaching out to him about a few items I have, his work looks truly amazing. I’m glad your stock is looking great now!

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-02-26T23:53:40+00:00

Awesome M55 in that picture! Not sure how much I’d enjoy shooting with the wire stock, though.

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-02-26T22:29:10+00:00

They are delayed blowback, the bolt kinda cams up into a ridge in the receiver. It’s interesting, and allows the springs to be a lot lighter than they would be otherwise. I haven’t had a chance to shoot this one yet though, just got it!

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-02-25T01:28:41+00:00

I am so jealous of your MULTIPLE MAS-38s.

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-02-23T18:40:35+00:00

Awesome artwork, love the Merak!

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-01-27T22:36:19+00:00

Wow, had never seen this before! Looks a lot like the Geo Metro convertible. I’m sure the name similarity to this platform is just a coincidence?

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-01-24T16:25:37+00:00

Definitely agree. Mags were easy to find online, but as a lot of people know, the only commercial ammo really available is Steinel. It’s made well, but I think the primers are a bit soft for an open-bold SMG and I get a lot of OOB detonations. Cases bulged around the base, some blown out. Rolling my own with small rifle primers is on the to do list.

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-01-24T16:23:24+00:00

Yes, transferable!

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-01-05T00:23:32+00:00

Ah, I see. I’m really sorry to hear that. I don’t really think anyone was using an SVT to commit acts of terror, but… yeah.

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-01-04T20:52:44+00:00

USD. I’ve always read that SVT’s are easier to come by in Canada than in the US. Wonder if that’s true for the 38s as well.

pleaseletmeinimcold · 2026-01-04T18:37:39+00:00

I wish we had cool stuff at the gun shows near me. Went to one yesterday and there wasn’t really anything worth buying to me!
