1962 Maserati 3500 GT Coupe

  • Coachwork by Moretti
  • Chassis Number: AM101.1858
  • Engine Number: 101.124
The Maserati 3500 GT, introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1957, was produced through 1964 with more than 2,200 examples built during that time. The 3500 GT's alloy body was styled by Carrozzeria Touring and utilized the firm's famous Superleggera lightweight construction techniques. The 3500 GT's 3.5-liter DOHC six-cylinder engine offered 200 horsepower in carbureted form. The 1961-1964 cars were equipped with a ZF five-speed manual transmission, replacing the four-speed used previously. The GTi designation arrived in 1962, with the 'i' signifying Lucas-sourced fuel injection that increased power to 235 bhp. They were initially built with 4-wheel drum brakes, the 3500 GT was gradually improved over the years, gaining the aforementioned five-speed gearbox, front disc brakes and finally, all-disc braking.

Most of the Maserati 3500 Coupes were clothed by Touring, while the Spiders received coachwork by Frua and Vignale, among others.

Moretti began building motorcycles in 1925 and later moved onto to microcars. After World War II, Moretti turned its attention to modifying Fiats and later building its own cars, with the most famous of those being the Moretti 750. Moretti would continue to work closely with Fiat until it closed shop in the 1980s.

This particular example was delivered new to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1962 as a Touring bodied coupe. After an accident in 1965, the decision was made to have the car entirely re-bodied rather than repaired. Moretti was tasked with performing the work. The completed car was put on display at the 1966 Geneva Auto Salon. It had a long hood and Kamm tail with a fastback design. At the time, it was finished in bright red, a slightly darker red than it wears today, and wearing Danish license plates.

The history of the car from the late 1960s through the mid-1980s, is not known. By the 1980s the car was with a collector in Germany. Alfredo Brener acquired the car from Germany in 2000, and brought the car to the United States. The car is mostly original and has been repainted in bright red, while its white leather interior was redone presumably around the same time.
