By virtue of its chassis number, it is clear that this striking SS Coupe is among the last examples built, and therefore benefits from the steady evolution of factory upgrades and changes that occurred during Ghibli production. As chassis no. 2508 is generally regarded as the final Ghibli built, and as coupes solely used even numbers, the featured car is almost certainly the penultimate example in the numbering sequence (and likely among the last few built by date). This SS therefore was equipped with such desirable features as power steering, a Bonaldi brake booster, bolt-on Campagnolo wheels, Veglia gauges, dashboard rocker switches, and a Vitaloni stalk.
According to a Maserati Classiche build record, the Ghibli SS completed assembly in late October 1971 and was unusually equipped with right-hand drive and finished in rosso fuoco paint with a white Connolly leather interior. Confirmed by Maserati Classiche to be one of only 12 Ghibli SS 4.9 Coupes constructed, chassis no. 2506 was delivered in London and first registered in the UK in November of 1971, and is believed to have remained in Great Britain since new. According to a previous registration, the car had passed through the hands of five previous owners before being purchased by Henry Alfred Abbott of Tadworth. In 1999, the car was purchased by Pragnesh Mistry of London following a full restoration and remained with him for six years before being acquired by the consignor.
As a part of his exceptional collection of Maseratis, the current owner continued to domicile the car in London. Looking to use the car as a weekend driver and occasional long-distance tourer, the Ghibli SS was soon sent to McGrath Maserati for a comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration, including a fabulous refinish in the period-correct color of Verde Gemma, and re-upholstery of the interior with light brown leather. It is accompanied today by extensive service invoices from 18 years of service by McGrath Maserati with both current and previous owners.
Now offered for the first time in 15 years, this rare right-hand-drive Ghibli SS is notable as one of the final cars built, the culmination of six years of production evolution. Having been restored to factory specifications and toured extensively around continental Europe with its current owner, accumulating over 4,000 miles since its restoration. It would make an ideal entrant for regional concours d’elegance and Italian car shows or may be appreciated on the open road for the 4.9-liter engine’s smooth torque and muscular performance.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys’ Fort Lauderdale event, 6 – 7 April 2018.
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.

This Maserati Ghibli 4.9SS began life as a coupe and was converted to a Spyder. The seller has owned it for 4 years and purchased it from an individual in the Bay Area who had owned it for 10 years. The conversion is believed to have been done by Straman in the ’80s, and this Ghibli is still powered by its original 4.9L SS engine #2024 with quad Weber carburetors and a ZF 5-speed gearbox. Service is up to date and the car is ready to drive following the installation of new front suspension, a brake system overhaul, timing chain replacement, and more work as detailed below. It is now offered with a clean California title and a reproduction tool kit.

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.

PROVENANCE Bill Brown, Los Angeles, California (acquired new in 1972) Larry Goltz, Los Angeles, California (acquired from the above in 1982) Ivan Ruiz, Atlanta, Georgia (acquired from the above in 2008) Cary Cooper, Birmingham, Alabama (acquired from the above in 2008) Ivan Ruiz, Atlanta, Georgia (acquired from the above) Al Ritchie, West Palm Beach, Florida (acquired from the above) Current Owner (acquired from the above) The Ghibli offered here is distinguished by its factory options, such as power steering, Borrani wire wheels and quad-tipped exhaust. Numbered 2112, this Ghibli is the more powerful 4.9-liter SS version, as designated by the “49” prefix in the chassis number. Ordered new by Los Angeles music producer Bill Brown, the Ghibli joined a stable of several fine sports cars, each one finished in black on black. Originally red, 2112 was repainted prior to delivery with 15 coats of hand-rubbed deep-gloss black lacquer, matching the black leather interior. In 1982, and showing approximately 21,000 miles, Mr. Brown sold his prized Ghibli to Larry Goltz. Under Mr. Goltz’s care, maintenance records indicate an emphasis on preservation, with parts such as the starter motor and water pump being rebuilt, not replaced. Mr. Goltz applied Connolly Hide Food to the interior monthly, hand glazed and waxed the paint every two to three months, and never hosed 2112 down, instead wiping the finish with a damp cloth in an effort to prevent corrosion. In February 2009, now under the care of Cary Cooper of Birmingham, Alabama, and showing 32,195 miles, Old World Motorcars of Georgia performed an engine rebuild. The documentation of this work runs over a dozen pages and totals over $28,000. Other, smaller service work from this period indicates a keen attention to detail and concern for 2112. Today, this Ghibli presents very well inside and out. The black leather interior is beautifully preserved, and there is matching, fitted luggage and an impressive factory tool kit. The recent mechanical work, and documentation continuing from one fastidious owner to the next, make this among the most charismatic surviving Ghiblis. With known ownership from new, and possessing the desirable 4.9 SS specification, this Ghibli calls for close inspection and serious consideration.

#2122 is a fantastic example of Maserati’s famed Ghibli 4.9 Liter SS Coupe, completed in May of 1971 by Officine A. Maserati S.p.A., wearing Russo Fuoco (red) paint over Bianco (white) Connolly leather with comforts worthy of such a thoroughbred GT: adjustable steering column, anti-theft steering lock, tinted & electric windows, reclining seats with head rests, heated rear windscreen, dashboard clock, Becker Mexico radio (later fitted with a Blaupunkt) and factory air conditioning. Long excursions are intended to be comfortable thanks to power steering and plenty of power on reserve from the 4.9 liter V8 motor. Maserati S.p.A. of Modena confirms with original Certificate of Origin that all chassis, engine, transmission and body numbers are matching as it left the factory. Additional Classiche documents include: Final Tests data Sheet, Technical & Aesthetic Characteristics, End of Line Data Sheet and Delivery Note.
The SS was originally purchased by Pittsburgh shipping magnate John Fuery. According to a history report in the cars file Fuery used the car as an occasional driver, accumulating just 5,900 miles before selling it in August of 1987 to Eldo and Betty Bisacca of McKeesport, PA. Eldo also sparingly drove the Maserati over the following 13 years, until his passing in 2000. The car remained under the Family’s ownership with Betty in storage, and it wasn’t until 2014, following her death that the car was discovered in her dry but much cluttered garage. A PA annual registration sticker dated 11/85 was removed and laminated. The sticker indicates on the reverse side that the car had 5,876 miles on 4-30-85. During Eldo and Betty’s ownership the car received one repaint over the original paint while the interior is original and displays an attractive patina. There is also a signed odometer disclosure from June 25, 2014 stating 9,246 original miles.
Upon discovery in 2014 the car was purchased by a respected collector/dealer from Arizona and he subsequently sold us the car right after his purchase. During our ownership an extensive engine out major service and detail encompassing the entire vehicle has been performed. This particular SS exceeds all expectations behind the wheel, with a pleasurable driving experience.
Service Performed included: a complete engine out major service, both heads were removed and machined with new valves, springs and seals, water pump rebuilt and equipped with new driving gear, the motor was then completely resealed, rebuild carburetors on top, rebuilt radiator, new spark plugs and wires. New thermostat, drive belts, hoses and correct jubilee clamps, along with all finishes and decals. Before the engine was reintroduced, its bay was steam cleaned and the radiator support restored to new. All electrical components and lights are in correct working order, including new window motors and brass gears replacing the plastic originals. ODD Parts then completely refurbished the entire column switch assembly with a lifetime warranty. Lastly, the air conditioning system was recharged to a cold blowing and fully functioning system.
With just under 9,500 miles showing, this U.S. spec coupe makes for an exceptionally solid base to drive and enjoy in original form and with the desirable manual transmission configuration. It remains a stunningly honest preservation, with just one exterior repaint from new, while retaining all factory upholstery, trim, exterior rubbers, Securit glass, windshield with Agip decal, identification plaques, original undercoating, motor, drivetrain.. the list goes on.
Designed to compete with the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Muira, the Ghibli is among the elite in the vintage supercar market and tremendously underpriced in comparison. This particular SS checks all the boxes and is sure to satisfy the true driver-collector connoisseur and complete with original tool kit, jack and emergency equipment in case, manual, parts catalog, maintenance manual and original documentation. Representing incredible value, we strongly recommend serious attention from collectors and enthusiast alike.
