Description
Experience the epitome of Italian craftsmanship and automotive heritage with the 1958 Maserati 3500 GT, a masterpiece of design and engineering. This remarkable vehicle, chassis number AM101*212*, exemplifies Maserati’s pioneering spirit, boasting original features that set it apart as a highly collectable and historically significant automobile.
Unveiled directly from the esteemed factory in Modena to its first owner, Mr Roberto Cantini in Milan, this Maserati 3500 GT embodies the luxury and performance of its era and holds a unique place in automotive history. Its distinctive lung-shaped air vents, a rare feature introduced in only a few early models, echo the innovative spirit of Maserati.
Under the hood lies a potent 3.485 cc in-line 6-cylinder engine equipped with early-type triple Weber carburettors, demonstrating the marque’s commitment to performance and driving pleasure. The engine, bearing the early-type external oil pump, is complemented by a ZF S 4/17 transmission, ensuring an exhilarating and smooth driving experience.
The exterior, originally presented in the elegant “Grigio topo” paint, and the interior, adorned with “Pelle Rossa” red leather and “Grigio Scuro” dark grey carpets, speak volumes of the car’s luxurious and timeless appeal. The car’s intricate French Jaeger instruments in the dashboard, mentioned in the 1958 test sheet, add a touch of sophistication and rarity, highlighting the bespoke nature of this automotive jewel.
This Maserati 3500 GT, with its matching numbers yet non-matching colours, stands as a perfect candidate for a concours restoration, offering an opportunity to revive its original magnificence. It’s a collector’s dream, a tangible piece of Maserati’s storied legacy, and a symbol of automotive excellence. Owning this piece of history is not just an acquisition; it’s an entry into an exclusive world of classic motoring elegance.
