This Maserati Quattroporte (#AM107/1420) should be what is generally considered a a typical good basis for a full restoration job as it is quite complete: it misses the front bumper like many other projects we’ve seen so far and, actually, we still an’t understand why so many cars miss at least one. And for sure… Read More Four Borranis and one bumper: 1967 Maserati Quattroporte
