Equipment
3,217cc/326hp twin turbo fuel injected V8, 6-speed, OZ wheels, Michelin X tires, wood shift knob, dash clock, power windows, power seats, air conditioning.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented with a recent service. Original paint is fairly dull. Dull lenses. Small dent in the driver''s door. Curb rash and light scuffs on the wheels. Light road wear underneath. Well kept original interior. Really should be in better shape given the 6,200 km showing, but it''s no worse than a good driver. Recently serviced with a timing belt change. A rare, funky 90s Maserati with twin-turbo V-8 power and an unusually sophisticated suspension and driveline that you never see here in the States and one of 369 ever built.
Market commentary
''Obscure'' is a mild description of this Maserati Shamal''s awareness among collectors, an obscurity clearly seen in the disparity between the bid and ask on the block. Its history marked the end of the de Tomaso era at Maserati before the marque was subsumed by Fiat (and Ferrari), a footnote on the marque''s history.
