Vehicle Description
Take a look at this gorgeous 1973 Maserati Bora for sale. Rear
engine 2 door coupe. This is Maserati's first example of a rear
engine car that only 275 were produced. Back in 1993 this car went
through just short of a rotisserie restoration. With just 30,727
original miles it was a perfect candidate for a freshen up. The
numbers matching motor and transmission were removed in order to
disassemble, inspect, repair/ rebuild/ reseal and reinstall. Since
of the low miles these components were just in the need of a light
rebuild. The block was boiled, honed, inspected and checked for
evenness across the line boar and deck. The pistons and rods were
reconditioned as well as the crankshaft was machined .010 on the
rods and .010 on the mains. The cylinder heads had a three angle
valve job and were assembled with new stainless steel valves and
components. A new high volume oil pump was installed along with new
timing chain assembly. The rest of the motors internal parts were
either replace or reconditioned. Then assembled with a new set of
gaskets and bolted to the rebuilt Z-F five speed transmission and
reinstalled with a new clutch assembly. When this work was done the
water pump, alternator, starter, fuel pump and bolt on accessories
were rebuilt or replaced. The four Weber down draft carburetors
were rebuilt along with the distributor. Simultaneously the body
had some occasional small chips, scratches and dings that needed to
be addressed. It was then sanded, primered and prepped for paint.
Refinished in the original red paint and lightly wet sanded/ buff
to match the original finish was a must to keep the originality and
integrity of the car. The front/ rear brakes had some attention as
well as the front and rear suspension. Any component that was warn
or close to it tolerance was rebuilt or replaced. The interior had
a minor face lift to. New seat upholstery and carpet were replaced
and the rest or the interior was cleaned. The glass is original to
the car.
