1965 Maserati Sebring II Coupe

Aldolfo and Omer Oris, owners of the Maserati works, had a marketing success with their 3500 series Maserati GT cars in both coupe and convertible body styles. There was a broad range of variations among 3500s due to the continuous evolution in both mechanics and styling details. In 1962, Maserati introduced its Sebring 2+2, followed by the series I, then the Series II during 1965, all with coachwork by Alfredo Vignale of Turin.

Powering the Maserati 3500 were dual plug, dual overhead cam inline 6-cylinder engine fitted with triple Weber carburetors or Lucas fuel injection.

The final Sebring Series I production total of 348 was followed by Series II cars ending production after just 98 were built in 1965 and 1966. Sebrings could be ordered with either the 3.5L, 3.7L or 4.0L engine giving a considerable range of performance priced about $15,000 in base form, all with richly appointed leather interiors.

A range of options included wire wheels, a costly upgrade from the factory steel wheels with chrome plated hubcaps. Maserati marketed the Sebring as an 'Ultra high speed Coupe, comfortable and reliable,' and contemporary magazine road tests to near 150 mph confirmed the high speed part of that sales slogan. Attention to occupant comfort in 4-place bucket seating provided comfortable, elegant motoring at its finest.
