This particular Ghibli (chassis number AM 115–778) is a left-hand drive European spec vehicle previously kept in Monaco, the UK, Austria and Germany. It was converted to a Spyder model by a renowned London coach builder in the late 1980s; service history suggests that the car was still registered in Monaco at the time. In 1995, the car was briefly UK registered (CYY 252G) before being exported to Austria where it was kept for the last 20 years. The vehicle has no export marker and thus remains UK registered.

This vehicle is currently located in Berlin, Germany.

This particular car was imported from Italy by its Californian owner in 1986. He retained the car in Downey, California until 2001, before passing it on to its next keeper, also in California. That owner fastidiously maintained and considerably improved the car during his 13 year ownership, during which he covered 25,000 kilometers.
In addition to performing regular fluid changes, valve adjustments, and tune-ups, he also significantly improved the car. In 2004, the engine was removed from the car and resealed as needed, and also fitted with new main bearings, water pump bearing and seal, and miscellaneous other items. The clutch was replaced and the flywheel resurfaced, and the braking system rebuilt with new rotors, pads, new caliper pistons and seals, in addition to front brake lines. The car was also stripped and repainted at this time, and the owner reports that no rust or filler of significance was noted in the body. The chrome was also renewed at this time, and the fuel tanks removed, cleaned, and reinstalled along with new fuel pumps. Over the years, service work also included redoing the AC system, including evaporator, drier, condenser, compressor, fans, and ducting. The rear springs were redone in 2008, and new Koni shock absorbers fitted as well. A compression check performed 11,000km (6800 miles ago) indicated compression figures of 155-165 psi on all eight cylinders. The car was serviced most recently in August 2014, which included oil and filter change, valve adjustment, chassis lubrication, differential oil, new fuel lines from the filter to the carburetors, recharged air conditioning, new tires, and redyed interior.
Cosmetically, the car is an attractive driver level car with an excellent body. The panels are straight with good fit and operation. The paintwork is glossy and was done to nice driver standards and appears to be a bit thick with some orange peel and a handful of surface cracks at complex body contours such as the base of the windscreen and near the C-pillar vents. The chrome and brightwork are in very good to excellent shape and were done to very good standards. The glass is also in very good shape and the wheels are excellent.
The interior is striking in its shade of bright red leather. The recently redyed seats are excellent, as are the door panels and dashboard. The carpets are also in excellent shape, as are the instruments, switches, and controls. The original steering wheel is fundamentally sound although the finish on the rim has worn in some places. The overall presentation is correct, although the car is fitted with a modern stereo.
The engine compartment presents correctly overall and appears well-maintained rather than freshly restored. There is some soiling present, but no signs of neglect, and the engine compartment would respond well to an afternoon spent cleaning and detailing. A pair of electric fans has been added to assist with cooling. The trunk is surprisingly capacious and connects to the passenger compartment in the style of a hatchback, which enhances the practicality of the car. It is trimmed in red to match the interior and is in excellent shape.
The car runs and drives very well. The engine starts easily and is well-tuned, making good power and a wonderful exhaust note. The car keeps up with modern traffic handily and the performance remains exciting even today. The transmission shifts beautifully, with a slickness that is generally uncommon in Italian cars of this vintage. The brakes work well and the suspension works effectively, providing sure-footed handling and good body control, particularly once at speed.
This particular example is an excellent opportunity to acquire a fastidiously maintained and very attractive driver level Ghibli in a striking color combination. Having been driven 25,000 km in the last 13 years, the car has been continuously improved and is relatively dialed in, as opposed to a car which suffers from years disuse and the accompanying deferred maintenance punch-list. This car comes with a detailed maintenance log from this period, as well as some invoices, a reprinted manual (uso e manutenzione), and parts bulletin book.

Not Sold Classic Cars, Brooks (12 May 1999) Monte Carlo

Built in July 1969, this Ghibli was delivered new to Beverly Hills, California, and, according to the consignor, it was converted to a spider in prior ownership, likely during the 1980s. The Maserati was imported to Australia by the consignor in 2006, where a meticulous 10-year restoration was undertaken, and largely performed by the renowned Re-Creation Automotive Pty Ltd., near Melbourne. According to the consignor, this remarkable 6,600-hour endeavor cost nearly $615,000 AUD and is documented with over 250 pages of invoices. The finished product is sensational, and the Ghibli is now equipped with the more sporting five-speed ZF gearbox. At Motorclassica 2018 in Melbourne – one of the largest shows in the southern hemisphere – the Maserati won awards for both Best in Class and Restoration of the Year. A testament to Re-Creation Automotive’s craftsmanship, this was its third Restoration of the Year award in a row. For enthusiasts seeking an exciting open-motoring experience, this impressive Ghibli represents incredible value, and its fantastic colors and presentation are sure to draw a crowd wherever it is shown. Originally black with white interior and was delivered back to Italy to convert to “Euro” spec.

Ex General Motors Design staff Maserati Ghibli owned by Chuck Jordan in 1971 [ He was vice president of design for General Motors from 1986 to 1992 ]

During the Bill Mitchell era of GM Design, it wasn’t uncommon to see foreign exotic cars to show up spontaneously in the GM Design executive garage. After all GM in this period was flush with cash. Bill used to purchase many competitive cars to be used as design, proportion, and package studies. In the past, I personally recall cars such as a 1964 ATS 2500, 1965 Porsche 904, 1969 De Tomaso Mangusta, 1969 Lamborghini Espada, 1969 Ferrari 246GT, 1969 Maserati Ghibli, 1970 Renault Alpine A301, Maserati Merak, Citroen SM as well as many other various European exotic cars.
This particular Ghibli was a car that GM Design owned from 1969-70. Bill visited the Turin Auto show in 69 and he ordered many of the Italian exotic cars direct from the manufactures on the show stands. These were particularly cars that he found significant design merit in.
After my father returned to the USA in the summer of 1970 from his directorship of Opel Design in Germany, he periodically drove the Ghibli home during an occasional weekend. He very much admired how the car drove and of course, it’s spectacular design. It inspired him greatly.
If I recall correctly, my father acquired the ownership of the General Motors Ghibli in the autumn of 1970. Typically, when GM Design was finished with a competitor car for evaluation purposes, it would be sold and frequently but not always offered to GM employees for purchase. To be precise, this Ghibli was offered for sale to the GM Design employees in a closed bidding event. It meant that whoever wrote down the highest offer, won the car. Because of my father’s great love of the Ghibli he placed his sealed bid into the hat. To his surprise, he happened to offer the highest winning bid and the car was his. In my personal recollections, it was an exciting event when he drove it home and placed it in our garage – full time! He was very excited and so was I!
My father kept the car through August 1972. At this time, he traded the yellow Ghibli for a 5000-mile 1972 Ferrari Daytona (also Yellow) through a broker in New York named Dick Fritz. After Mr. Fritz had acquired the Ghibli on trade-in, we lost track of its whereabouts. In the 90’s I did see photos of the Ghibli in a publication called “Autoweek” in the classifieds. I believe this for-sale ad was from a Mr. Roland in Northern Michigan. I contacted Mr. Roland and he sent me a few photos of the car. I was saddened to see how the car had been taken care of. There appeared to be rust on various areas of the hood and body as if this amazing car was left out in the elements without care. Although I was interested in buying the car, it was too much of a large project for me.
There were a few special items on the car including a smaller diameter Maserati factory “Ferrero” leather-wrapped steering wheel, the dual twin-pipe exhausts, and some black pin-striping which was installed at GM design. The car was stored in a climate-controlled garage during the winter season and never did it see rain.
During my Dad’s ownership, the car had been almost trouble-free. We had a local Italian car specialist named, Terry Myr, do periodic service work to keep it running and maintained. I do not recall the mileage, but I believe it was quite low.

Presently, I am in touch with the present owner, in Germany. He ended up purchasing the car while on a business trip in Michigan directly from Mr. Roland. He shipped it back to his home in Germany and over some years has been working on restoring it. There are images in the Flickr folder that show his various stages of restoration.

A euro model imported into beverly hills ca in early 1969, but was sold and titled as a 1967. Last recorded 2004

Imported from the USA in 2014. A four year 1200 hour restoration was completed in 2021 which resulted in a colour change from red to blue and from black to ivory for the interior. The car was placed first in class at the London Concours and runner up at Salon Prive

Wire wheels. The car is finished in its original specification of Rosso Fuoco Paintwork with Black Leather interior and Borrani spoked wheels and is equipped with the desirable 5 Speed ZF manual gearbox.
Subject to a documented restoration process in the early 1990’s, this 4.7 litre version, manufactured in 1969, remains in excellent condition to this day.

This particular car left the factory in 1969 and was finished in yellow with a black leather interior. Sold in the Rome area, it remained there until 1976 when it was driven to the Swedish Maserati Club´s meeting in Haverud by an Italian dealer. The latter hoped to find a customer for the car at the event and he was indeed successful. The car was bought by the Chairman of the Club, Uno Lingmark who drove the car back to Stockholm together with Artcurial´s current car specialist Niklas Hannah, who was only 15 years old, in the back seat creating a memory that decided his future career. The classical “Roma F10629” registration number was kept until the car was registered with its current Swedish plates. The years passed quickly and the car changed owners and eventually it was bought by the current owner in a rather depressive condition. GRD593 was duly sent to well renowned Maserati restorer Ake Nordquist´s AMK in Saltsjö-Boo, outside of Stockholm, where it went through a mechanical and body restoration. The interior was re-trimmed and invoices of the restoration work are available. The original engine has always remained with the car and is of course matching numbers. This Ghibli is a spectacular car in great condition with an equally spectacular colour, that many think is the best colour for a Ghibli.
