This lovely Maserati Ghibli 4.7-Liter Coupe stands out as a nicely presented and desirably equipped example. Completed at Maserati’s Modena workshops in last few months of 1970, this late-production Ghibli, chassis no. AM115.1554, was built as a left-hand drive Coupe, fitted with the desirable ZF 5-speed manual gearbox, and destined for the North American market.

The earliest history of this example is now recorded, but it is understood to have been delivered with factory air conditioning and in the color scheme it wears today of claret red over black leather. By 1992, the Ghibli had made its way to the Netherlands, where it would reside for the next 16 years. In 1998, the car was reported to have been restored and mechanically rebuilt, although records of work completed do not accompany the car. The mileage when the car was sold—which has not appreciably changed in the ensuing decade and a half—was reported to be original at just under 38,000 miles. Given its lack of use since acquisition by the present owner in 2008, it is recommended that mechanical recommissioning is undertaken prior to barnstorming.

Very beautiful Maserati Ghibli 4.7 coupé. Delivered new in West Nyack, USA in 1970 and comes from fourth owner. Sold to California in 1978 and spent the rest of her life over there. Thanks to the very dry climate it has always been in a perfect and rust free condition. Around 2010 it was sold to Europe. This is a ‘later’ type and it is equipped with airco, beautiful original Borrani wire wheels and power steering. Recently very professionally restored and overhauled into perfection. This was a bare metal, full nut and bolt restoration of a very high quality. Of course is this process documented very well with an extensive photo report. Technically in a perfect working and driving condition thanks to the very professional overhaul. The body is in an unbelievable good condition, as new and has perfect panel fittings. All the chrome is like new just as the paintwork. The undercarriage is rock solid, free of rust and like new. Performed in the original colour ‘Oro Longchamps’ in combination with a beautiful beige leather interior. Very tasteful combination. Top example in a top restored condition.

Frank Sinatras car. Sold Christies LA 1999
1970 Maserati Ghibli s/n 115*1564, was sold new in Dec., 1970, in Silver (106-E-1) with Blue Connolly leather (pac 1545) to Wes Farrell, who was married to Tina Sinatra, Frank’s daughter, and registered to his company, Coral Rock Productions. Wes Farrell was a very successful 1960’s and 1970’s songwriter and producer who wrote or co-wrote close to 500 songs and contributed to 300m in record sales. In March, 1972 Maserati Ghibli s/n 1564 was sold to Frank Sinatra, who needs no introduction. We have copies of the registration in Frank Sinatra’s name on file, correspondence from Nancy Sinatra confirming her father’s ownership and the Maserati data build sheet on file. 1970 Maserati Ghibli s/n 1564 was later sold to George Hamilton, another American actor and later still Maserati Ghibli s/n 1564 was sold to to Dave Thomas, the founder and owner of the Wendy’s restaurant chain. In 2000 Maserati Ghibli s/n 1564 was sold to the current long-term owner and has been well kept and maintained in his twenty years of ownership. Today Maserati Ghibli Coupe s/n 115*1564 is still registered on Frank Sinatra’s license plate FAS-IV for his name “Frank Albert Sinatra” and has extremely low miles with only 21, 699 original miles on the odometer. We have extensive service and maintenance records on file, call or e-mail us for copies.

At some point in the 1990s Maserati Ghibli Coupe s/n 115*1564 was repainted as the paint is much too nice to be original, and the complete interior was very nicely redone in soft and supple black leather. It is believed that the discrete red and orange pin striping on the car is from Wendy’s orange and red logo colours of the time (1970’s and 1980’s), which might explain the somewhat unusual choice of pin stripe colours for a silver car. The paint is in amazingly good condition except for the usual very minor stress cracks where the rear glass meets the roof line. The body is very straight with excellent panel fit and the doors close like Italy’s answer to a Swiss vault. The hood, the front bumpers and lights, the rear deck and rear lid all fit as new and all glass and chrome are in excellent condition. The frame, the floor pan and all lower panels are rust, dent and damage free, although there is slight damage to the right front lower rocker panel. The black leather interior, dash, console and black carpets have an excellent patina with only minor surface wear and compression on the driver’s seat due to use. The seat bolsters remain full and firm. Like all Maserati Ghiblis, the seating position is both low and comfortable, helped by an adjustable steering wheel, which makes for a comfortable fit for both those with long legs and the occasional basketball player. The dashboard features an expansive array of instruments and a wood trimmed steering wheel. The dashboard top surface is finished in a contrasting fabric material consistent with the original specifications. The centre console houses the original Blaupunkt AM/FM radio.
Under the hood, the very nicely finished 4.7 liter quad-cam engine is nicely sorted and has been restored with the correct factory finishes, including proper hosing, wrinkle finish cam covers, proper air cleaner paint and correctly bundled hoses. The engine fires to life quickly, with an excellent raspy punch. Power in all gears is quite impressive, the 4.7 liter quad-cam delivers acres of torque at low RPMs and willingly uses all four Weber carbs to deliver a very strong top end. The suspension and brakes have been sorted out very nicely, so Maserati Ghibli s/n 115-652 is a pleasure to drive in city traffic or the highway.

In 2010 Maserati Ghibli s/n 115*1564 had two sets of major service work done by Europa Macchina, Lewisberry, PA. In February, 2010, major worked completed included a compression and leakdown test, check the fuel pumps, rebuild all four Weber 42 DCNF carbs, replace all water hoses, install a new battery box, plus the related parts, for a total invoice of $10,494.76. Further major work by Europa Macchina included flushing the fuel tanks, new fuel soft lines, touch up paint on the hood and nose, paint materials, a detail of the engine and engine compartment plus a new hood pad in April, 2010, for a total invoice of $12,576.25. In Feb., 2012, in preparation for showing at Amelia Island, five new Michelin 215/70VR15 XWX tires were ordered at a cost of $3,240.28. In March, 2012 service work in preparation work for showing at the Amelia Island Concours was completed by Europa Macchina. The work included a check and diagnose of any fuel, oil or water leaks, remove and repair door sill plates, paint all five wheels, refinish front and rear wheel wells, five new tire tubes, mount the new Michelin XWX tires and more for a total of $9,379.15. We have copies of all invoices on file, call or e-mail us for copies by PDF. We also have copies of the Maserati Factory Internal Factory Order, the Technical And Aesthetic Characteristics, the Delivery Note and all other documents from Fabio Collina, the Manager of Maserati Classiche

This stunning Maserati Ghibli 4.7-Liter Coupe stands out as a beautifully presented and desirably equipped example. Completed at Maserati’s Modena workshops in December of 1970, this late-production Ghibli, chassis no. AM115.1568, was built as a left-hand drive Coupe, fitted with the desirable ZF 5-speed manual gearbox, and destined for the North American market. The new Ghibli had been special ordered in November of 1970 and was finished in the same exterior color as seen on the car today, the elegant Blue Sera color over a white leather interior.

According to the data sourced from Maserati Classiche, chassis no. 1570 was ordered in late October 1969 and completed assembly the following March. Finished in Blue Pervinca paint and trimmed with a white interior of Connolly leather, the Ghibli was distributed to the dealer Sport Auto in Rome, where it was purchased by Micca Ferrero.

Although little is currently known of the Maserati’s interim history, by 2014 the car was owned by Massimo and Gianluca Tiepolo, the proprietors of a sports car specialty garage in Italy called Stile Italiano di Sabbion, as clarified by an Auto Club d’Italia registration. The Ghibli was subsequently treated to a full restoration to the original colour configuration in the UK and still retains its original engine. Currently displaying 47,654 kilometres, this Ghibli SS would make a fabulous addition to any collection, ideal for enthusiasts of 1960s Italian grand tourers.

In 1979, Marco Derrick and his father, both avid car enthusiasts, were advised to inspect a pristine collection of Maseratis at an auction being held in Indiana. Marco and his dad wasted no time, each returning with a gorgeous Maserati of their own. Marco, only 26 at the time, became the second owner of this beautiful 1972 Ghibli.
The car was Marco’s pride and joy. Unfortunately, his beloved Maserati had a minor fender bender when a friend took it out for a drive in 1980. He had the fender repaired, and with only 28,500 miles on the odometer, put the car away in the family’s garage. Marco had plans to eventually restore the car, but the pressing needs of the family took priority. Unfortunately, he passed away in last year before being able to restore his cherished Maserati. The car was recently removed from the garage where it was stored for the last 37 years and is offered for sale by the family who have cherished it since 1979.
