Chassis Number: 10101823
Built on the short-wheelbase but otherwise similar chassis of the Vignale-bodied 3500 GT Spyder, the Sebring 2+2 coupé arrived in 1962, named in honor of the Bolognese manufacturer’s 1957 victory at the eponymous American endurance race. By now a 5-speed gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes and fuel injection were standard equipment, while automatic transmission, air conditioning and a limited-slip differential were options.
Delivered new to Brussels, Belgium, after its completion in July 1963, this Sebring is believed to have gone to the U.S. at a certain point, although no supporting paperwork is available, unfortunately. More recently, the car returned to Europe to reside in the Netherlands. The car appears to have undergone a professional restoration a while ago that included a professional respray and an extensively refurbished interior. We’re advised that the car resided in storage for about nine years since restoration, and it is believed the car was not driven during that period.
The Sebring is finished in Oro Longchamps with black leather trim, its original color combination. Also, the engine’s appearance suggests that it has been extensively overhauled, although no invoices are available. The engine is numbered AM10110067 with internal number 2219. It should be noted that some chrome trim strips have not been refitted (they are in the boot), the chrome wire wheels still have to be refurbished, and the windscreen wipers are not installed. With some areas requiring improvement or completion, this beautiful Maserati Sebring is a potentially most rewarding project. Please note that this car is sold without any accompanying paperwork or history and that it does not come with any registration documents.
