• Delivered new to San Francisco, California
• Powered by a numbers-matching 4-liter fuel-injected inline six-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission
• Attractively finished in Celeste Chiaro over a black leather interior
• Believed to be one of 830 Mistral Coupes produced

Launched in November 1963 at the Salone Internazionale dell’Automobile di Torino, the Maserati Mistral was the last model produced by the Casa del Tridente to boast the company’s infamous twin-spark dual-overhead-cam straight-six engine—as fitted to Maserati 250F Grand Prix cars. Later Mistrals received 4.0-liter powerplants that produced 265 horsepower.

From 1963 to 1970, it is believed only 830 coupes were built. In 1968, Stanley W. Good Jr. entered a Mistral Coupé into the prestigious and legendary Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and won "Best of Show,” underpinning the attractive Maserati's top-class credentials.

The Mistral 4.0 Coupe on offer was completed at the Maserati factory in September 1968, finished in Celeste Chiaro (Metallic Light Blue) paint over a black leather interior. A North American-market, fuel-injected example, the car was delivered new to San Francisco, California.

In 1977 the car was procured by Rudi Klein and brought to the junkyard according to a purchase document on file, and an accompanying photograph from the period shows the coupe in its current condition. Today, the car appears in its factory-delivered colors; most importantly, it still retains its numbers-matching inline six-cylinder engine.

An enticing subject for restoration or a trove of hard-to-come-by parts, this Maserati Mistral 4.0 Coupe is sure to provide its next owner the opportunity to undertake a rewarding project.

Please note that this vehicle is being offered as parts only.
