Gorgeous 1968 Maserati Ghibli Coupe: 2 Owner California Car
This 1968 Maserati Ghibli Coupe is a matching numbers two owner California car from new. It comes finished in period-correct Alfa Rosso Amaranto (Burgundy metallic) with black leather, and is fitted with Borrani wire wheels, the original ZF five-speed gearbox, power steering and A/C. This Ghibli has had only two owners in the last thirty-eight years and was restored by Claus Groth of Thousand Oaks, California. Claus had it stripped, painted, and the engine rebuilt. It's been shown at Concorso Italiano a dozen times in the past 20 years, and has been across the stage at Concorso twice to win awards, plus double entries at both the Hillsborough Concours twice and the Palo Alto Concours. It's an amazingly well sorted and user-friendly example that comes accompanied by its original tool roll, jack kit, owners manual, parts manual, and service manual.
The twenty five year old paint is in amazingly good condition and the body is very straight with excellent panel and door fit. The frame, floor pan, and all lower panels are rust, dent, and damage free. The black leather interior has an excellent patina and the seat bolsters remain full and firm. The center console houses the original Becker Mexico radio. Under the hood, the very nicely finished 4.7 liter engine is nicely sorted and fires to life quickly with a glorious raspy punch. Power in all gears is quite impressive and the gearbox is smooth and reliable. The suspension and brakes have been sorted out very nicely as well making it a pleasure to drive in city traffic or the highway. The quality of this car truly speaks for itself. It's hard not to fall in love with a Ghibli that exudes such integrity. An undeniable opportunity at a bargain price of only
