Today [ 2013 ] the car has 48800 kms from new, Borranis wheels, power steering, Concours condition.

This gorgeous 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder with factory 5-speed is a matching numbers example and one of just 125 factory original Ghibli Spyders produced. Equipped with Borrani wire wheels, original 5-speed, and power steering. A cosmetic restoration was performed in 2015 consisting of new Argento Auteuil paint, deep red leather interior by Bridge of Weir Leather Co, Wilton carpeting, and correct leather on dash fascia. New black soft-top canvas convertible top. During this time, all aluminum and chrome trim was replated and polished as well. Body panels have excellent fit and glass is original and in very good condition. Optional chrome wire wheels are present and excellent, with new Michelin XWX tires. Convertible top is nicely done, fits well and in good condition. The Ghibli runs and drives superb. The 4.7 liter engine sounds and runs excellent with very good compression and oil pressure. This is a late series Ghibli with the desirable 42DCNF Webers and late style brake booster and interior layout. The ZF 5-speed gearbox shifts well with clutch and synchros working properly. The suspension has new bushings and the brakes pads have plenty of life. The optional power steering is a must on the Ghibli and makes it much easier to drive at low speeds. Overall the engine compartment is detailed and excellent with proper Jubilee stainless steel hose clamps used throughout. These cars have become almost impossible to find and this particular example has clearly been lovingly maintained.
The Ghibli spyder is widely considered to be one of the finest open grand touring cars Maserati has ever constructed, fashioned in the great Italian tradition of poise, elegance, and power. A vehicle which possesses flash and dash in equal measure, with beauty, rarity and timeless appeal. This 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder with factory 5-speed represents an excellent opportunity to own one of the finest, most beautiful road cars of the period.

Maserati Ghibli Spyder.

Year: 1970.

Colour: Argento Auteil metalizzato.

Interior: Red leather.

A correct original Ghibli Spyder – not a conversion.
The car was delivered from the factory to the US market in 1970. It returned to Europe between 2008 and 2010 to a collector in Italy.
The car has undergone a complete conversion to European standards (head lamps, position lamps, speedometer, steering wheel, auto -> manual,).
The car received her original colour combination and a new interior (silver – Argento Auteil metalizzato 106 E1, on red leather - VM) correctly as it was delivered in 1970.
There is no rust on the car, the engine got a complete overhaul by Giuseppe Candini in Modena and everything (including A/C) works well.
I was able to purchase the car in 2012 and changed the soft top and made some cosmetical work.
We also serviced the engine here in Austria and I used the car frequently for private trips approx. for about 5.000 km’s in the last 8 years.
After the owner of the garage passed away I have had to leave the garage in Spring 2020 (where 8 cars are parked at the moment). So I have decided to sell 3 or 4 cars, to relocate to another smaller garage.
In consideration of the fact that next year I am 70 years old, I have to let go some of my cars especially cabriolets or spyders because I prefer to drive Coupes more and more.
If there is some prospective buyer I will provide photos directly to the interested party.
Car located Maria Enzersdorf - AUSTRIA.

Asking price 750,000 EURO.

We have a 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder 4.7 with only 31,049 miles on the clock. This particular Maserati Ghibli Spyder is one of only 125 Spyders built by Maserati themselves. This Ghibli Spyder has matching numbers and colours, which is just as good as the person who originally ordered the car managed to put a timeless vehicle together. Magnificent! Since it was first supplied in 1970 this Maserati Ghibli Spyder has only had 5 owners in total, as evidenced by the presence of the very extensive amount of documentation. The complete history of this Ghibli Spyder is known. The car comes with two fat files of paperwork with for instance copies of ownership papers, a Maserati certificate, various technical documents, correspondence and invoices. In the past this Ghibli was subjected to a top-class restoration and has remained in brilliant condition ever since. The Maserati Ghibli Spyder’s lovely original bodywork has nice and thin, correctly aligned panelwork. The"Argento Metalizzato" paintwork is similarly in great condition. The application of the re-spray was perfect and shows no signs of blemish what so ever. The car stands proudly on its lovely Borrani wire wheels. A new hood has recently been fitted and naturally is in excellent shape with a snug fit. Inside the car has lovely black carpets and black leather upholstery. The inside trim was also completely. refitted during the restoration and remains in splendid condition. The top of the dashboard is smooth, the fine looking instruments and controls are all in perfect working order. Your sojourn in the car is further enhanced by the presence of air-conditioning, power steering and headrests. Mechanically this Maserati also borders on perfection. This Maserati Ghibli Spyder has a 4.7 90 degree V8 engine developing 330 Ps at 6,600 revs, coupled to a manual ZF 5-speed gearbox. The V8 drives this Ghibli to a top speed of no less than 265 km/hr and all that in a 1970’s car! The perfectly smooth running engine is more than capable of giving this Ghibli Spyder all the necessary oomph. The precise action on the gearbox adds in no small measure to this Maserati’s driving pleasure. The suspension and brakes all have been perfectly maintained. This Maserati Ghibli Spyder is more than ready to be enjoyed in the coming summer months and for many summers to come. We highly recommend this brilliant piece of design from long ago. A very rare, well documented, Maserati Ghibli Spyder, aesthetically as well as mechanically in top-class condition!

Offered from the Pray Collection,
The Pray Collection’s Spyder was acquired by Malcolm S. Pray Jr. almost a decade earlier. It is finished in a rich red with comfortable brown leather upholstery, and it boasts such luxuries as air conditioning and a tastefully upgraded stereo, as well as the very favoured five-speed manual transmission—all ideal for an automobile which Mr. Pray intended for use in Florida. Accordingly, after his acquisition, the Maserati underwent extensive sorting, which included a complete rebuild of the original engine, performed by Roush, as well as a rebuild of the clutch assembly, adjustments to the fit of interior components, and a rebuild of the tachometer. The carburettors were also rebuilt. Typical of Mr. Pray’s devotion to record keeping, service and restoration records that cover his entire ownership accompany the car.

My father owned a Ghibli Spyder in approximately 1980-1981. It was a true Spyder (not chopped) and had the Boranni wire wheels. It was dark brown metallic, kind of a root beer colour, with tan hides, California registered, photos taken around same time [ automatic at that point in time ]

Chassis no. 1179 is one of the very desirable 125 factory-built spyders. According to information obtained from the Maserati factory, it was manufactured in September 1970 with the 4.7-litre engine, finished in Giallo over a black leather interior, and fitted with an automatic transmission. The car was delivered new to United States, in the Chicago, Illinois area.

This well-kept Maserati is showing just over 35,000 miles on the U.S. specification odometer, but an inspection shows great authenticity throughout. A sticker on the door reflects a service just a few hundred miles ago from noted Maserati Candini in Modena, an indication that this Ghibli has received excellent care. The Maserati was purchased by the consignor in 2015, with its two most recent custodians residing in Italy. With the immediate previous owner, the car was sent to Cremonini in Modena for a complete engine rebuild and some minor bodywork. While the factory information lists the car as originally delivered with an automatic transmission, a five-speed manual gearbox is presently installed, marking a desirable upgrade for sporty driving in true Maserati fashion.
