A Beautifully Unspoiled & Honest Grand Touring Maserati
A luxurious Grand Tourer, the 3500GT drew heavily on Maserati's
competition experience, employing a tubular chassis frame and an
engine derived from the 350S competition sports car unit of 1956.
Designed by none other than Giulio Alfieri, creator of the immortal
Tipo 60/61 'Birdcage', and the man responsible for developing the
250F into a World Championship winner. Passengers are presented
with utmost luxury and performance for the ideal cross-country
traveler.
AM101524 is a desirable early example with front disc brakes and
carbureted powerplant. The Gran Tourismo 3500 GT Coup� was ordered
from Officine Alfieri Maserati on June 2, 1959 and delivered new on
July 21, 1959 as a direct sale to customer Dr. Arnaldo Cadini of
Prato, Italy. Elegantly finished in Bianco Neve (white) over Blue
Connoly leather with Borrani Disc wheels, spare disc wheel and tool
kit. The 3500 later made its way to Seattle, Washington, in the
thoughtful care of Mr. Quinnell for 30 years. Presented in its
original unrestored form, is a truly exceptional preservation of
one of Maserati's most celebrated GTs ever produced.
Maserati S.p.A. of Modena confirms with original Certificate of
Origin that all chassis, engine and body numbers are matching as it
left the factory. 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 Delivery
Note. A sight to behold for the Maserati aficionado and
preservation purist, 524 retains all original trim, lenses, glass,
plaques, emblems, upholstery - both, cabin and luggage compartment,
floor pans, undercoating, sheetmetal, equipment and believed to
retain most of its original factory applied paint. Sitting behind
the wheel is like stepping back into time and a joy to experience
what Dr. Arnaldo Cadini had the privilege to see and feel in such
unspoiled condition.
Thanks to the considerate 30 years of stewardship from Mr. Quinnell
and previous caretakers, this 3500 was kept pure, unrestored and
today would make a formative candidate for competitive preservation
display at significant concours events across the globe. After
years of recent garage slumber, the 3500 predictably starts right
up with ease, however, its braking system has begun to drag and
will require attention during a necessary servicing and inspection
prior to public road use. Complete with matching spare tire
assembly and jack. We proudly offer AM101524 for worldwide purchase
and delivery.
