Description

  • Matching numbers and matching colors, finished in its original Metallic Midnight Blue shade with red Connolly leather interior
  • One of the last Maserati 3500 GTs produced with carburetors before the introduction of fuel injection
  • Originally configured with the desirable five-speed ZF S5/17 gearbox, limited-slip differential, and disc brakes on all four wheels
  • Equipped with Borrani wire wheels, electric windows, and additional front air vents for passenger compartment ventilation
  • Comprehensive restoration documented by more than 500 photographs

Delivered new through Maserati Distributors Inc. of Beverly Hills, this 1961 Maserati 3500 GT represents a particularly desirable example from the final phase of carbureted production, retaining its matching-numbers mechanical components and original factory color combination.

The car is presented in its original Metallic Midnight Blue shade (Max Meyer 16.439) with red Connolly leather interior (PAC1603), a refined configuration perfectly consistent with the period, complemented by Borrani wire wheels.

The factory equipment is also particularly noteworthy and includes the five-speed ZF S5/17 manual gearbox, limited-slip differential, disc brakes on all four wheels, electric windows, and additional front air vents to improve passenger compartment ventilation.

The car underwent a comprehensive restoration, carried out with particular attention to authenticity and the preservation of the original specification. The Touring Superleggera aluminum body was completely stripped to bare metal before being refinished in its original Metallic Midnight Blue shade, while the brightwork was professionally restored or replaced with components made to the original specifications.

The interior was completely renewed using the correct Connolly leather in the original red shade, faithfully reproducing the factory materials and finishes. The electrical system was entirely rewired, while the principal mechanical components underwent a thorough overhaul, with the aim of ensuring reliability and correct driving characteristics.

The entire restoration is supported by an exceptionally detailed photographic archive comprising more than 500 images, providing transparent and comprehensive documentation of the work performed.

Thanks to its matching-numbers mechanical components, original color combination, desirable factory configuration, and extensively documented restoration, this 1961 Maserati 3500 GT Touring Superleggera represents a particularly interesting proposition for the most discerning collector.
