Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Used older restored engine bay. Several sizable chips at the front of the passenger's side door, which sticks way out at the bottom. Hazy taillight lenses. Big crack at the front of the driver's side door. Some light surface rust on the wheels, light cracking in the front seats. Rear seat upholstery is quite good. Notable wear on the steering wheel rim. Gauges and dash are quite good. Sold new in Italy, then restored during its time in Texas in the 1990s with the original interior retained. Reportedly driven regularly during its time at the Riverside Museum, and doesn't look as shabby as some of the Museum's other cars.
Market commentary
The Mexico was one of Maserati's less exciting models in terms of styling, but less than 500 were built and they were capable GT cars with their Quattroporte underpinnings and large V-8 engines. This was a flawed example, but still could have brought a little more without being expensive.
