This captivating example of Maserati's celebrated 3500 GT possesses
a distinguished provenance, factory documentation, and uncommon
originality. According to a copy of the original build sheet, dated
February 17, 1962, chassis 2360 was specified with Touring
Superleggera coachwork, handsomely finished in Grigio Albany
(Albany Gray) paint with Marrone (brown) leather upholstery. This
relatively late-production 3500 GT was originally equipped with a
desirable Lucas fuel injection, four-wheel disc brakes, and a
five-speed ZF gearbox.
Maserati Classiche records indicate the first owner as S.r.l
Cisitilia Autocostruzioni which was under the direction of Carlo
Dusio, son of the well-known Cisitalia principal and Porsche
collaborator Piero Dusio. The 3500 GTi was dispatched on July 24,
1962, to dealer Autosalone Renzo Bordese of Torino, which in turn
delivered the car to Cisitalia Autocostruzione. The Maserati is
believed to have remained in Italy until at least 1973, as
suggested by registration stickers affixed to the windshield and
glove box. An invoice in the file states that it was imported in
July 1975 by Bob Grossman's well-known Maserati dealership in
Nyack, New York, and thereafter passed to Mr. Kogak of Skokie,
Illinois.
Upon word that this 3500 was pulled out of long-term storage and it
would be available for sale we jumped at the opportunity. We were
completely struck by the car's remarkable preservation and
fascinating provenance and found it worthy of the intense process
to service and detail it as needed.
Maserati S.p.A. of Modena confirms with original Certificate of
Origin that all chassis, engine and stamped body numbers are
matching as it left the factory. Attesting to the cars originality
Touring body number "419" was found stamped on the front hood and
rear trunk bonnet during the detailing process. Additionally, all
Maserati Classiche parchment records accompany this car, including:
Internal factory Order, Historical Information Sheet, Technical
Data Sheet, Technical & Aesthetic Characteristics, End of Line Data
Sheet and Purchase Order.
A sight to behold for the Maserati aficionado and preservation
purist, 2630 appears to retain original trim, lenses, glass,
plaques, emblems, wheels, upholstery - both, cabin and luggage
compartment, floor pans, undercoating, sheetmetal, equipment and
large portions of its original paint. The engine, with its internal
number (1385) corresponds to the factory records provided by
Maserati Classiche and Fabio Colina's records. Sitting behind the
wheel is like stepping back into time and a joy to experience what
Carlo Dusio had the privilege to see and feel in such unspoiled
condition.
Seeking to preserve the GTi's unique character, we recently
undertook a thorough sympathetic freshening to all mechanical
systems to return the Maserati to its former Grand Touring
abilities. The entire braking, cooling and electrical systems were
restored, with consideration to retaining as many of the vehicle's
original components and finishes as possible, this also included
the cabin's instruments, switches, along with internal and external
lighting systems.
Understandably, all consumable items were replaced with new
concours-correct items, such as the shock absorbers, suspension,
steering and clutch components - along with numerous ancillary
parts like fluids, filters, hoses, ignition components and correct
Pirelli Cinturato CA67 tires. The original exhaust system, simply
had to be replaced, and thanks to QuickSilver Exhausts of GB, the
new stainless-steel unit will more than last another 56 years. The
unique original tips were retained for future caretakers. Last and
importantly, the 3500's Lucas fuel injection system was entrusted
to Kinsler Fuel Injection of Troy, Michigan for a complete
restoration and recalibration of the entire system - from the
"black bomb" pump to the meticulously complicated unit itself - a
nearly 6-month undertaking. In total over $20,000 was invested and
over 240 hours of labor spent.
With no expenses spared and ready to tour, 2360 stands as a
formative candidate for competitive preservation display at
significant concours events across the globe. This 3500 GTi
possesses the unique provenance of having originally been owned by
by Carlo Dusio, who participated in the 1948 and 1952 Mille Miglia,
and was of indispensable value to his father in the management of
Cisitalia. This elegant Touring-bodied coupe would be an important
addition to the collection of preservationists and connoisseurs of
the Cisitalia marque, though it can also be enjoyed as an
impressive, unrestored example of one of Maserati's most admired
road cars. Note: Titled as a 1964.
Complete with untouched matching spare tire assembly, jack and
emergency accessories. We proudly offer AM1012360 for worldwide
purchase and delivery.
