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. 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. | ||||||

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. | ||||||

I'm trying to find my father's Ghibli, #888, which he purchased new in 1969 from Bob Grossman's dealership in Nyack, NY. It was copper metallic, beige/black interior, Borranis, 4.9 engine with four exhausts (not badged as an SS though). If you know of the whereabouts of this car, please send me a PM. Thanks! | ||||||

The Maserati Classiche documentation on file confirms that this particular car was completed on the 15th March 1969 and despatched to Rome in Italy. It was fitted with Maserati’s 4719cc engine, a 5-speed manual gearbox and Campagnolo cast wheels. The car was finished in the most stunning colour combination of ‘blue pervinca’ (periwinkle blue – Salchi code 106A55) with a white interior (Connolly code PAC.1544). The original Italian “Carta di Circolazione per Autovettura” (vehicle registration card) tells us the car was delivered new to Giovanni Buitoni from Rome on 31st May 1969. The vehicle registration card also tells us the car passed through a few owners in Italy before it was sold to John Louis Mozzone in May 1973. The recently married Mr Mozzone was from East Bentleigh (Melbourne) in Victoria and he and his wife were on their honeymoon when he saw the car for sale in Rome. He purchased the car and he and his wife took it on a three month trip through the UK and Europe, taking it as far as Loch Ness in Scotland. They subsequently brought the car into Australia. There is a copy of the Melbourne Harbour Trust Commissioners Port of Melbourne wharfage document on file, dated 9th September 1973, which confirms the car was imported by Mr. Mozzone. The car was loaded at the port of Genoa in Italy and it arrived into Melbourne aboard the ‘Fresenburg’. Upon arrival in Australia the car was converted to right-hand drive as back in those days you were not allowed to drive a left-hand drive car on the road in Australia. The car was subsequently registered in Victoria as LTE 186. Mr Mozzone kept the car for the next 10 years or so. At the end of his ownership the car was repainted yellow. Unfortunately, the car then developed a mechanical problem and Mr Mozzone could not afford the repairs so he sold the car. This Maserati Ghibli was then acquired by two well-known classic car enthusiasts who repaired the car and on sold it. The car subsequently passed through two owners, the second being Michael Duigan who acquired it in the early 1990’s. Duigan was a long term owner of the car before it was sold at a Shannons Sydney auction in January 2007 to a Melbourne based orthopaedic surgeon and well known car enthusiast and collector. At that time the car was in need of some work and its new owner sent it to respected Melbourne based classic Maserati specialist Mario Lombardi. Over the next six months a considerable sum of money was spent mechanically freshening up the car. There is an excellent history file with extensive receipts for work done over the years confirming that this car has been meticulously maintained and improved throughout its life. The most significant work undertaken was an engine rebuild in 2007 and a new clutch was fitted in June 2021. More recently, the car has been repainted in its STUNNING original colour of ‘blue pervinca’ (periwinkle blue) by GT Motors in Bowen Hills (Brisbane). | ||||||

Artcurial "For sale in our forthcoming auction in Paris, on 17 June 2019: French title - Fantastic restoration project This Maserati Ghibli is a rare and exciting restoration project. Our example was sold new in France, delivered to Mr Lauvergnat by the French marque distributor, Thepenier. Built in February 1969, the 4.7-litre car was registered on the 13th of the following month, presented in " Celeste Chiaro " with black leather interior, the livery it retains today. In the same family ownership for the last 28 years, this Maserati has not run for many years. There is a record in the file of some mechanical work carried out at the start of the 2000s and a bodywork restoration, which was not carried out in accordance with the rules of the art, was probably undertaken during the 1980s. Offered in sound and complete condition overall, our Ghibli now requires a thorough restoration to return it to its former glory. It may be possible to conserve the original upholstery, its appealing patina offering a glimpse into the soul of the car. It is important to note that it retains its original engine number. The Ghibli is a particularly desirable car and it is very rare to come across such an example suitable for restoration. Here is a fantastic opportunity to revive a legendary automobile that in its day was a rival to the Daytona and the Miura. Photos © Kevin Van Campenhout Auction estimate: €70 000 / 100 000" |
