Description
The Maserati Bora, a landmark model in Maserati's lineup, was the brand's pioneering rear mid-engine GT road car. Developed under Citroën ownership, it showcased a sophisticated design by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design. Notable features included a low nose with pop-up headlights, an unpainted stainless steel roof, and a glass-covered engine section on a monocoque chassis. It was also the first Maserati road car with independent rear suspension.
For the US market, the Bora was distinct, equipped with a larger 4.9-liter V8 engine, compared to the 4.7-liter version elsewhere. This engine initially produced 280 horsepower, which was later increased to 300. US models featured larger bumpers to meet local standards and had turn signal indicators on the taillamps changed from amber to red, specifically for the US and Canadian markets. Overall, 564 units were produced between 1971 and 1978, split between the two engine sizes.
This particular Bora is a unique restoration project,
with its unique colour scheme and well-running engine. The car was factory delivered in Verde Indy with a Senape leather interior. It is matching numbers as proven by the documentation provided by Maserati Classiche.
This car was recently audited, and a compression check on the engine revealed even compression across all eight cylinders. This indicates good engine health; the car is driving, as shown in the video.
