1980 Maserati Merak Navigation
The Maserati Merak was introduced in 1972 and came equipped with a new four-cam V-6 engine. The engine was designed for the company's current owner, Citroen, to be used in their flagship MS model. Citroen also had aspirations that the small displacement engine would help Maserati compete in this growing market.
Maserati was sold to De Tomaso in 1977, and the Merak was given several updates. The Bora was dropped and the Merak SS 3.0-liter V6 received increased output of 190 horsepower in the US versions; the rest of the world received a 220 HP version. Another change to the Merak was the removal of the Citroen hydraulic system and was replaced by a more traditional setup.
Production of the Merak lasted from 1972 to 1983, with a total of 1,830 examples built. About 970 of those were the Merak SS.
This particular example is an original survivor, with just 14,145 miles on the odometer. It is finished in the factory original color of Rosso Fuoco. The car has its original Blaupunkt Radio, tool kit, owner's manual, window sticker, and parts catalog.
Only 314 Merak SS models were produced with the Bora style interior dash.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2016
