The sixth: ’67 Maserati Ghibli Coupe

Category: Submitted Tags: , 2 Comments

IMG_0396

We are huge admirers of the Maserati Ghibli. We, like many others who write about the “business”, are stymied by the lack of appreciation for this car compared to its contemporary, the Ferrari Daytona Coupe. We hear the argument about V8 versus V12 and that probably has something to do with it, but I think it is just the Ferrari mystique. All of the really rare Ferraris are inflating the entire market for F-cars. Now, Ferraris people wouldn’t look at cost more than a decent Ghibli and the Ghibli is freaking gorgeous! It is no slouch as an Italian exotic either. Read More

Now on eBay! “Private”: ’67 Maserati Mexico

Category: Preferred Currently Available Tags: , 1 Comment

$_57

We are fortunate to have a very nice 4.7 liter Maserati Mexico on offer from one of our favorite sellers. The Mexico is fitted from the factory with the 4.7 liter engine and Borrani wire wheels and that makes this one of the desirable early cars. Later Mexicos were fitted with the 4.2 liter engine and disc wheels from the Quattroporte. Read More

Mama Mia: ’68 Maserati Mistral

Category: Submitted Tags: 3 Comments

68 Maserati Mistral

Maseratis have been playing second fiddle to Ferraris for years now. Although we can understand the allure of a 12 cylinder Ferrari we can’t fully understand why the valuation gap is so big. Here we have a beautiful Frua bodied Mistral with a songstress of a double overhead can straight 6, double-plug engine that will probably sell for less than Ferraris least valuable V12 (365GT 2+2). While you are trying to figure it out, pick up the phone and try to buy this one before the auction ends. It is a keeper. Read More

Finally: ’59 Maserati 3500 GT

Category: Submitted Tags: 1 Comment

59 Maserati 3500GT fr

We’ve waited a long time for a nice 3500 GT and this, readers, is one to watch. Actually, don’t watch, call the seller and buy it. Then let us borrow for a month or two. This is an iconic Italian sports car with beautiful vintage lines and a wonderful interior devoid of wood. Instead the statement is made through paint, shiny bits, knobs, gauges and leather. We dare say it is glamorous, an adjective rarely used on the pages of Mint. Read More

A first: ’73 Maserati Bora

Category: Submitted Tags: , , 5 Comments

Maserati Bora

Maserati and Citroen merged and that created a unique opportunity for the Italian firm to try something new. The wonderful Ghibli was due for replacement and the engineers started with a clean sheet of paper and a Citroen parts book. They decided to go mid-engine like their peers at Ferrari and Lamborghini. But the Maserati is a monocoque unlike the others.  Read More

Opportunity: ’77 Maserati Merak SS

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

1977 Maserati Merak

This Maserati Merak will scare most buyers away and perhaps they are smart shoppers. But wouldn’t it be cool if you do a thorough PPI at a reputable shop near the seller and discover the issues are no big deal? For argument’s sake, let us say this car has no needs. The Merak SS is a beautiful car and in a rare color for an Italian exotic. The Merak was originally conceived to be a lower priced alternative to the Bora. It did use many parts from the Bora, however the cost savings came by using parts designed for the Citroen Maserati SM. The compact V6 from the SM is nestled behind the cockpit. The US version has 220hp and catalysts but it is said to still have carbs. All of the SM interior bits were replaced by Bora bits in the US version. There is a little extra room in the interior so Maserati threw in a rear seat but it isn’t fit for human occupancy. Read More

Bargain No More: ’64 Maserati Sebring

Category: Submitted Tags: , Leave a Comment

1964 Maserati Sebring

We have always had a soft spot for the Sebring influenced by the fact that we could actually have afforded one. Sadly those days of bargain Maseratis are gone. Unless you want one dreamed up by Lee Iacocca. This was the first Maserati to be given a name to celebrate Maserati’s success in the 1957 Sebring 12 Hours; one of the premier road racing events in the world, it was won by Fangio and Behra in a Maserati 450S.

Another bargain Maserati: ’68 Maserati Ghibli

Category: Submitted Tags: , 1 Comment

1968 Maserati Ghibli

Okay, so maybe bargain isn’t the proper way to describe any low volume, Italian Super Car from the sixties. But comparable cars like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura will set you back 8-times more money and not get you a better parking space when you pull up in front of Chateau Marmont. The Maserati Ghibli is an Italian gran turismo produced from 1967 to 1973 so our feature car is one of the early ones from 1968. Ghiblis share their underpinnings and mechanicals with the Mexico 2+2 coupe and power comes from a dry-sump, twin-cam 4.7-liter V-8.  Read More

Franco-Italiano: ’72 Citroen SM

Category: Your Pick Tags: , , , Leave a Comment

Citroen SM

This was some kind of car back in the day. So much so, it won the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award. We know what unique cars Citroens are. That’s exactly why its fans are so passionate. And the SM is the most extreme and its fans the most passionate. We don’t mean extreme in a bad way. In fact, you have to hand it to Citroen for not caring how other car companies did things. They emulated no one. Brake pedals in regular cars? – oui. Brake pedals in Citroens? – non. They have a button shaped like a mushroom to do the job. Read More

Maserati Ghibli

Okay, so maybe bargain isn’t the proper way to describe any low volume, Italian Super Car from the sixties. But comparable cars like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura will set you back 4-times more money and not get you a better parking space when you pull up in front of Chateau Marmont. The Maserati Ghibli is an Italian gran turismo produced from 1967 to 1973 so our feature car is one of the early ones.  Read More
