1967 Maserati Mistral Coupe

Maserati introduced the Mistral in 1963, designed by Pietro Frua, which represented a new direction in styling from previous models. Production lasted until 1970, with 828 Mistral coupes produced. Until 1964, the cars had 3.5 liter engines, but after 1964, Maserati switched to 3.7-liter engines. From 1966 to the end of production, a 4.0-liter engine was available. A few cars were steel-bodied and while others were a combination of steel with aluminum hoods and doors and others were all aluminum. The Mistral is significant for being one of the first cars to have a hatchback. This car has a 4.0-liter engine and an all-aluminum body. Originally sold on the west coast, this car made its way across the country with numerous owners until it was purchased by the current owner in 1988. A complete restoration was undertaken in 2000.
