1972 Maserati Ghibli Coupe

The Maserati Ghibli was updated in 1970 with a more powerful version of the V-8, now displacing over 4.9 liters. By the time production came to a close in 1973, 1,190 examples of the Ghibli Coupe had been built, including the SS cars.

This Maserati Ghibli SS Coupe was built in September 1972. It was given many desirable late-model components, such as Veglia gauges, dashboard rocker switches, and a Bonaldi brake booster. The car was factory-equipped with power steering and an automatic transmission, original finished in Colorado Brown Metallic paint, and trimmed with a senape leather interior.

The car was sent to Grossmana Motorcaras in the United States and sold new to an executive at Universal Studios in Burbank, California. In the 1990s it was owned by John Mood before it passed to Ralph Paul Inc. in Wilmington, Delaware, which soon sold the car to a local councilman. In 2002, the Coupe was acquired by its current caretaker. Recently, the car underwent an interior restoration with light-cream Connolly leather. A sympathetic restoration soon followed including rebuilding or refreshing many mechanical components.

This Maserati Ghibli currently has 34,250 miles on the odometer. There is a correct reproduction toolkit and custom-made pound. It has a Becker Europa radio and Michelin XWX tires.
