Equipment
Steel wheels with hub caps, Lucas fuel injection, Nardi woodrim steering wheel, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, Jaeger dash clock, locking filler cap.
Condition
Heavily cracked original paint near the front, heavily crazed on the roof and trunk, but presentable. Surprisingly clean engine bay. and tidy underbody as well. Very good original interior with really not much wear on the passenger seat, although the driver seat is pretty bad on the left bolster. A pretty good preservation class car. For people into patina, this car has a charming, not excessive level of it. Likely a car that sat a bit too long out in the sun, but stayed dry in the process.
Market commentary
Sold at Bonhams Greenwich in 2014 for $176,000, a result that showed buyers' willingness to pay extra for originality. Since then, it's surprisingly done 969 miles. The seller has therefore had his fun and one would think that more or less breaking even on it would be a satisfactory result, but the market for these great old GTs has moved up quite a bit in the last couple of years and he can't be blamed for holding out for more, especially for a very well kept one like this. The gamble didn't pay off, however, when this Maserati sold at Ft. Lauderdale two months later for $170,000 hammer, $187,000 with commission.
