Assembled at the Modena factory in March 1972, this sporting
Maserati Bora was specified in the sophisticated combination of
Celeste Chiaro (Light Blue) with a Black leather interior. This
rarely seen model is one of just 289 examples powered by the potent
310-horsepower 4.7-liter Tipo AM/107/07 dual-overhead-cam V8 with
four twin-choke Weber 42 DCNF carburetors. As previously noted by
Fabio Collina of Maserati Classiche, this example, with its ZF
five-speed manual transmission, was delivered new in Italy with
metric instrumentation and sleek European-market chrome
bumpers.
By 2015, the car was purchased by the previous Miami, Florida-based
collector who commissioned extensive restorative work on this
splendid Bora. Beginning with the bodywork, it was refinished as
originally specified in Celeste Chiaro, while the interior received
fresh Black leather on the seats and door panels. The interior also
benefits from the installation of a new headliner and carpeting.
Previous research notes that once the cosmetic work was completed,
the engine was overhauled along with the brake system.
Once the restoration work was completed, the sleek Maserati was
purchased by the current owner in August 2022. Under their care in
August 2023, Emile's Sports Car Performance of Santa Cruz performed
extensive work focused on the fuel, ignition, and cooling systems,
including carburetor servicing, ignition and timing calibration,
and a comprehensive cooling-system overhaul totaling $18,271.75.
Additional work completed by Daytona Motors Italiano in June 2025
included ignition servicing, carburetor synchronization, and
further recommissioning totaling $4,880.58.
Finished as originally specified in rarely seen and sophisticated
Celeste Chiaro, this remarkable Bora retains its simple, yet
elegant Giugiaro-designed features that have captivated enthusiasts
since leaving Modena. It would make an excellent addition to any
collection seeking a quintessentially Italian exotic.
