If you can believe it, a 3500GT Spider was available for sale in the Safeway
parking lot near my house in Walnut Creek in 1983. It was sitting in the
parking lot with a "for sale" sign. Top was down and completely open so I
sat in it and popped the hood - completely looked the thing over. No one
worried about vandals then.
The guy wanted about $10,000 for it, was in very good running condition and
no rust, but paint was a little faded (Maserati dark blue). Daytonas were
selling for around $30K at the time. I remember thinking the thing must've
been a straight 12 because it had 12 spark plug wires! I couldn't quite
figure out how to pay for it and settled on paying $3,000 for my BJ8
instead....
