We all know that the world of classic cars (and more generally, the world of cars) is a man’s world, however, as this interview shows, all the rules have their exceptions and that’s what Lucia Di Lorenzo talks about. Lucia is the only child of an italian passionate collector passed away when she was young,… Read More The Lady of the Trident
We have often seen many Maserati Ghibli and Bora with wheels different from the original ones, just like this car: Sure they are Maserati wheels but they look like the ones installed on the Indy. These wheels don’t look bad at all but still these shouldn’t be correct, of course unless some expert will tell… Read More Indy wheels: 1970 Maserati Ghibli SS
This long-owned Maserati Ghibli 4.7 has been in the same family since 1979 but used until 1980 when the previous owner, the second one, parked the car in his garage and never drove it anymore. That’s because the family priorities took place and even because, unfortunately, he passed away without seeing his beloved car restored.… Read More Survival: 1970 Maserati Ghibli 4.7
The good of this Ghibli is that, as long as it’s not anymore equipped with the original DOHC italian V8 but with a Chevy engine, it consumes less fuel than when it was in the original configuration. The bad side, however, is very large as this is a car which needs a colossal amount of… Read More Side pipes italian: 1971 Maserati Ghibli SS
We’ve seen many Ghibli in the last years: some (very few) nut-and-bolt restored, some wreks and many said to be in “original conditions” which, at the end of the day, means “to be restored”. This one though, is maybe one of the very few in good original conditions: a car which clearly hasn’t ever been… Read More Silver bullet: 1968 Maserati Ghibli
During the last three decades many of these beautiful Italian GT have been used like some kind of canvas where the owner could unleash their “creativity” as these cars were not as valuable as they are now. In this particular case, the creativity pushed one past owner to paint the body in two shades: Copper… Read More Two tone GT: 1968 Maserati Ghibli
Sometimes it happens to find a Maserati Ghibli for sale on eBay; most time they’re good cars or wrecks; this one is a car which has a good appearance however it needs work, much work. Indeed this car (chassis AM115/614) has the typical aspect of a good driver and maybe it is but, having restored… Read More California Euro: 1969 Maserati Ghibli Coupé
December 31, 2015 – 28 months later In the last update of this article I wrote that “the car is almost ready”: indeed that “almost” was heavier than I could ever thought. Actually I’m not surprised at all about the follow up activities of a restoration job, but this is a complex car, more complex than… Read More A restoration tale: 1967 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Coupé (update #15 – December 31)
The seller says to have more than 12,000 photos done on this Ghibli under restoration: they’re a lot but still they don’t explain everything. The first thing is the chassis number: on eBay the car is listed with the chassis number 115/132 but stangely this car looks the same under restoration here which indeed has… Read More 12,000 photos: 1967 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Coupé
This Ghibli coupé has known better moments and, actually, a better shape than the one it has now. The crash It had was pretty serious: the right front fender is totalled and probably also the chassis in that area has been affected, so the problem here could be much greater than the one (not little) visible… Read More Ouch: 1967 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Coupé
