This 4.9-litre Ghibli coupé was delivered new to its first owner in Italy where it remained until being sold to Germany in 2014 having had three owners by that time. It is equipped with the ZF five-speed manual gearbox, air conditioning and power steering, and is finished in red with a beautiful light beige leather interior, the latter retaining its original wood-rim steering wheel. Repainted some years ago (from yellow) and re-trimmed in 2000, the car is said to be otherwise original, driving well with a strong engine (freshly inspected) and reliable gearbox. It comes with an owner’s manual and Italian registration papers.

Here’s the car on Ivan’s site.

1971 Maserati Ghibli, Here is a fantastic example of a Maserati Ghibli SS finished in a stunning Tobacco Metalizzato with Senape mustard yellow leather interior. Only 425 Ghibli SS coupes were built and less than a handful were finished in this fabulous colour. Equipped with a 335hp 4.9 V8 and 5 speed manual transmission.
Built in March 1971 With a known history since new originally ordered by a Mrs Nancy A Haywood of New York, its was ordered as a US spec for a European delivery with Italian “EE2968” license plates. The car was fitted European exhaust manifolds, air conditioning and Borrani wire wheels from the factory, it was registered Switzerland and lived in the South of France until 1980 when Mrs Hywood imported the car to the USA where it was registered in North Carolina. I have all the original import documentation, as well as the original service booklet.
In March 2004 the car was then purchased by a well know Maserati expert in Georgia Mr. Ivan Ruiz with only 18,900 miles who offered the car for sale to one of my clients and he purchased the car and brought it to Los Angeles in late 2004 and added it to his car stable. The car was serviced regularly by Italian car specialist Fast Cars of Torrance CA. Hard copies of the service records and registration slips are all present.
I sold the car on behalf of my client in 2017 who added the car to his extensive car collection. The car had several thousand spent to correct some non original items, oil leaks, and the air conditioning was serviced. An upgraded Alpine bluetooth stereo, amplifier and Focal speakers were expertly installed hidden from view at a cost of $3,800.
The car is now offered for sale with 22k original miles, its a rare and unique chance to purchase a highly desirable SS Ghibli with great history and originality.

The car we present is of French origin. Delivered new to Thepenier on 25/03/1971 to Maitre Georges BLACHE, auctioneer in the Paris region. It has known only 2 other owners until today, including Christian Louveau, son of the famous driver Henri Louveau (2nd in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949).
Still equipped with its original engine, it only displays 49,823 km. The history is clear, the car is present in the Thepenier register, its chassis number is AM115/ 49 * 2082 *.
In 2021, this example received the “Maserati Classiche” manufacturer’s certificate in its current configuration. It is therefore matching numbers, original paint colors and interior (Celesto Chiaro / Black) and factory details. This example comes with extensive documentation and fascinating correspondence provided by the factory.
Regarding the 5000 SS version, the car is equipped with the ZF 5-speed gearbox. This version receives power steering and air conditioning as standard. The last owner undertook major renovations. Everything that needed to be redone or replaced has been done (with original Maserati supplies when possible). This includes in particular (restored) seats, a radiator repair and a complete carburation.
All the invoices of the various works are available and collected in an important file more than complete. This also contains period documentation from spare parts catalogs and manuals.
There was a recent mechanical restoration (2018-2019) and a painting in 2019 (which therefore respects the original color). The car is in very good overall condition.

The car is sold with its period tool kit and its original Campagnolo rims (fitted with new tyres).

Sold Italy 1990. Red with black interior. Originally Green
Was resold on Classic Driver around 2020 now back in Verde Gemma

Sold June 2007. Was in Sweden 2004 to 2007.
The car presented here was delivered new in France in this ” Rosso Rubino ” colour with beige leather interior. It benefitted from a major restoration at the end of the 1990s. In 2007 this Ghibli, presented with the best engine size, was sold at a Poulain-Le Fur auction at the Palais des Congrès. The cost of the restoration was indicated as being over €45 000. The current owner acquired the car from the Carrosserie Lecoq, with permission from the owner at that time, who had sent the car for a new exhaust and a Becker radio to be fitted. The same establishment has carried out a service on the car more recently, in which all the filters and seals were changed, the radiator repaired and the water pump changed (invoice of €5700). The interior of this Ghibli is splendid, with carpets and leather upholstery in immaculate condition. This is a wonderful, well-balanced car for the road. The paintwork is excellent. Enthusiasts will note that it is the same colour as the Ghibli in the film ” La Piscine ” starring Alain Delon, Romy Schneider and Maurice Ronet, which is one of the reasons that the current owner bought it!
