DESCRIPTION
--Black with Black Upholstery, with Pepita front seat inserts, Grey carpeting, 3.5liter Straight 6-Cylinder engine, 5 Speed Gearbox, Long term collector care.
The Maserati company was created on December 1, 1914, through the 5 Maserati brothers who were involved in racing automobiles in one form or another. As the Maserati brothers were building cars for Diatto, in 1926 Diatto suspended the production of race cars, leading to the creation of the first Maserati and the founding of the Maserati marque. One of the first Maseratis, driven by Alfieri Maserati, won the 1926 Targa Florio. Maserati is long steeped and respected in sports and racing car production.
With the introduction of the 3500GT with its all new Aluminium 3.5 Liter engine and body by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera of Milan was an instant success and rightfully so. A true GT (Grand Touring) car with 2+2 seating, beautiful body, roomy, comfortable and speed all in one package.
This 3500GT being offered has long term collector history. It was owned for over 30 years by George Kopscicks who purchased the car while he was in college. Mr. Kopscicks used the 3500GT as his daily driver. Once retired from daily use, he undertook a full photo/documented restoration of the car spanning 6 years and which was completed in 2002. The most recent owner purchased the car from Mr.Kopscicks in 2011 adding it to his collection. Since, it has been enjoyed and has been a regularly participant in various well-known vintage rally's such as The Going to Sun Rally, Coppa Alpina Rally, Coppa Corsa Rally, Little Switzerland Rally and Alfa Romeo Rally.
Recently serviced by Autosport Designs, Inc., this 3500GT is ready and able to be enjoyed by its next caretaker and as its previous owners have to date. It comes complete with period photographs, three restoration portfolio binders, Spare wheel, jack and Lug wrench.
