 |  | Coupe Chassis Num: AM11749478 | In 2007 this 1973 Maserati Bora was brought to the Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $60,000 - $80,000. It was listed without reserve. Mounted mid-ship is a V8 engine capable of producing 320 horsepower, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, and powering the rear wheels. There are four-wheel disc brakes and a suspension comprised of unequal length A-arms with coil springs and anti-roll bars.
The Maserati Bora models were available in a variety of colors. This example is finished in black Imron, color sanded and polished to its current condition. It was originally finished in Glidden nitrocellulose Lacquer which stayed with the car about ten years before it was removed and the car received its re-spray. The mirrors are from a 1982 Camaro and the original seatbelts were replaced with competition style restrains. The air conditioning system was upgraded to RC 134 and given an upgraded compressor.
The odometer reads just 9,700 original miles and the V8 engine is reported to be in good condition. Bidding on this car was solid, with the high bid proving the estimated value was accurate. The final bid, including buyer's premium, was $77,000. | |
