Single-family ownership since 1979Stored for the last 37 yearsLess
than 30,000 original milesIn 1979, Marco Derrick and his father,
both avid car enthusiasts, were advised to inspect a pristine
collection of Maseratis at an auction being held in Indiana. Marco
and his dad wasted no time, each returning with a gorgeous Maserati
of their own. Marco, only 26 at the time, became the second owner
of this beautiful 1972 Ghibli.
The car was Marco's pride and joy. Unfortunately, his beloved
Maserati had a minor fender bender when a friend took it out for a
drive in 1980. He had the fender repaired, and with only 28,500
miles on the odometer, put the car away in the family's garage.
Marco had plans to eventually restore the car, but the pressing
needs of the family took priority. Unfortunately, he passed away
last year before being able to restore his cherished Maserati. The
car was recently removed from the garage where it was stored for
the last 37 years and is offered for sale by the family who have
cherished it since 1979.
