One of 20 Made: 1956 Maserati A6G/54 Zagato Berlinetta
Some of the results from the auctions taking place at Monterey over the last few days suggest that the high end of the collector car market may be experiencing some tightening. Some of the marquee vehicles were either no… more»
The Economical Maserati? 1975 Merak
I am learning that I don’t know my Maseratis (and there’s a lot of other car stuff that I don’t know either), but the Merak (’72-’83) is a new one for me. I’m familiar with the Bora but don’t… more»
Four-Door Biturbo: 1986 Maserati 425
1986 gave us many things, including the Chornobyl nuclear disaster, the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion and the tragic loss of seven crew members, and let’s not forget mad cow disease. That fateful year also produced a four-door twin-turbo Maserati… more»
Backyard Exotic: 1974 Maserati Merak
While the Maserati Merak has historically been one of the more under-loved sports cars, it’s still a small tragedy to see one laid up like this. The listing has next to no information, but I suppose there isn’t much… more»

Parts is parts, right? Well, if putting a puzzle together is your thing, here’s an opportunity in the form of a fairly rare 1968 Maserati Ghibli. We’re told that this one’s 90% complete so let’s check it out and… more»
Maserati Engine: 19K-Mile 1973 Citroen SM
“Trust the SM. You’d be surprised what a machine can do when it knows you believe in it. Easy on the steering wheel. Handle it gently. Don’t overwhelm the SM. It will do what you want it to. The… more»
Unbelievable 230 Car Barn Find Stash!
One of the best stories you can learn about when tracking barn finds is a massive cache of vehicles that no one seemingly knew about. According to the auction listing description, this collection in Europe was built without much… more»
One of Three by Frua: 1962 Maserati 5000 GT
Each of the 34 examples of the Maserati 5000 GT is a storybook in its own right. The first of these exotic beasts was commissioned by the Shah of Persia (now Iran), who pined for a 450S (nine made,… more»
Parts Pile: 1979 Maserati Merak SS
Let’s not do the whole “that will buff out” thing. It’s not funny any more. And really, there’s very little funny about what happened to this poor Maserati Merak SS that has clearly fallen on hard times. The story… more»
46K-Mile Exotic? 1984 Maserati Biturbo
I read recently that Maserati Biturbo prices are starting to creep up a bit, maybe it’s because everything else is already way overpriced. Or overvalued, or maybe that’s not even a correct term as a vehicle’s price is basically… more»
Light Restoration Required: 1971 Maserati Indy 4.2
Named for Maserati’s victories at Indianapolis 500 in 1939 and 1940, the Indy debuted in 1969. The Vignale body was designed to accommodate four passengers, taking aim at the grand touring market. Its sportier sibling, the Giugiaro-designed Ghibli, won… more»
Affordable Maserati: 1990 Chrysler TC

Garage Find: 1960 Maserati 3500 GT Coupe by Touring
Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati are the trifecta of exotic sports cars, each propelled to success by strong personalities. The three trod very different paths, with Maserati and Ferrari involved in racing from the start but Lamborghini eschewing the track… more»
Beyond Help? 1979 Maserati Merak SS
Italian cars have a reputation for rust problems, and mounting a case for the prosecution is this 1979 Maserati Merak SS. Its history is unclear, but if I said it needed help, that would make me a master of… more»
61K Original Miles: 1972 Maserati Ghibli SS 4.9 Coupe
A few months ago, I had the privilege to view a collection of 2+2 Italian sports cars from the 1960s and 70s. I had never spent much time with cars from this era in and in that configuration, and… more»
Manual Maserati: 1973 Citroen SM
It’s slightly disingenuous to call this a Maserati; I know. But as a 1973 Citroen SM, it does share its engine with the Maserati Merak, a sonorous 2.7-liter V6 that made a healthy 180 b.h.p. and was capable of… more»
