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.

I have been owned this vehicle since 1986. She came from Santa Barbara, USA. She is not in concours condition, but sounds. Solid blue exterior ,blue interior, with power steering

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.

Here’s the Artcurial description

For sale here June 2024

his third owner Maserati Ghibli was originally delivered in Italy to Professor Ettore De Biasi of Genova. This is car AM115/880 was ordered on the 9th of December 1968 as can be seen on the original factory order. He chose the superb colour “Rosso Rubino” for his beloved GT. After some years with Mr De Biasi the car was bought by a German collector who owned it for over 30 years. After that it was bought by its current owner in Belgium.
This Ghibli has been body off restored with unmitigated attention to detail! Everything is now better then new.
Only the interior was kept fully original to give this Maserati just the right patina as it should be in a 50-year-old GT.
We are certain there is no second Maserati Ghibli of this quality offered on the European market at such a competitive price today.
