1962 Maserati 3500 GT Coupe

  • Coachwork by Touring
  • Chassis Number: AM101.2102
The Maserati 3500 GT is regarded as the first serious postwar production car from Maserati. A total of 2,223 3500 GTs and the later fuel injected GTis were produced from 1957 to 1964. The list price for the coupe was $11,400, enough to buy almost three Mercedes-Benz 190 SL roadsters. The 3500 GT is powered by a 3.5-liter straight-six engine with triple Weber carburetors much like the racing engine in Maserati's Tipo 350S. From the total production run, 1,981 coupes were built by Carrozeria Touring Superleggera and the rest were bodied by other coachbuilders.

In January 1962, singer Eddie Fisher ordered this Touring-bodied 3500 GT Coupe from Maserati distributor Cornacchia Automobili in Rome for his wife, Elizabeth Taylor. Finished in the suitably glamorous color scheme of gold with white Connolly leather upholstery, the car was delivered on her birthday, and Liz immediately took the coupe for a test drive - but she returned to their Italian villa after just fifteen minutes. Tossing the keys back to Eddie, she told him that she hated the way the car drove, and she never got behind the wheel again! Fisher soon sold the Maserati to fellow actor and automotive enthusiast Anthony Quinn, who shipped the car to his home in Beverly Hills. Today the car is owned by the artist and founder of the Concorso d'Eleganza in Kyoto, Japan, Hidetomo Kimura.
This Maserati 3500 GT has been owned by three entertainment icons – Eddie Fisher, Elizabeth Taylor, and Anthony Quinn. Mr. Fisher purchased it new as a gift for Elizabeth Taylor in 1962. The next owner was Anthony Quinn of Beverly Hills, CA who purchased it in 1962. In 1968, Paul Zammit became the next owner. The car would remain in Southern California until the 1990s, when it was sold in unrestored condition to the current owner.

The current caretaker undertook a concours-quality restoration
