Mistral is a strong, cold, northwesterly wind that blows from southern France into the Gulf of Lion in the northern Mediterranean. And like the wind of the same name, this Maserati too can leave the observer rather “frozen”. There is in fact a lot to do with this car, indeed, there is not a single… Read More Cold wind: 1968 Maserati Mistral 4.0 by Frua
Ok, we are not suddenly set with the Maserati Mistral, it’s just that everyone seems to be selling them at the same time and our job is to report them, at least the most interesting ones. This Mistral 4.0 is something between a project and a driver: indeed the engine does not start but at… Read More Cordoba red: 1968 Maserati Mistral 4.0
This Mistral coupé (chassis #AM109/A1 926), one of the last built with an inline-six, 4,000 c.c. engine, has been stored for 42 years and now it’s again available to the world of Maserati enthusiasts.

This is one of the early Mistral built as the seller says that this is the 56th cars out of Frua coachworks, it needs a full restoration but it seems solid. Indeed this car has for sure stored well and in a dry climate because very few signs of deep rust can be spotted on the… Read More Solid silver: 1964 Maserati Mistral
This car shares the same destiny which affected a lot of Italian cars in the U.S: a broken engine often implied a swap with a Ford/Chevy V8. That’s even more odd for a car originally equipped with a magnificent DOHC, inline-six engine with a twin spark ignition setup. The strange thing is that this swap… Read More Primed and swapped: 1966 Maserati Mistral Coupé
This Mistral belongs to one of the first batch of these cars which were equipped with the same engine of their predecessor, the 3500 GT series, although increased of 200 c.c.

The last series of the Mistral is the only to have the biggest inline-six engine ever produced by Maserati: it’s a 4.0 litre unit which, in this case, is not into the car. The seller doesn’t say much about this car: basically he says that although the body is in nice shape (and actually it seems… Read More Outboard engine: 1966 Maserati Mistral 4.0 Coupé

The seller says that this Mistral is one of 28 RHD cars ever made; it has been sold new in England but it was imported in Germany years ago. Probably it was imported as LHD cars had few market so they were generally cheap and, indeed, this car seems still quite cheap. It is described… Read More Italian English in Germany: 1967 Maserati Mistral Coupé
The seller doesn’t specify the year nor the displacement of this silver grey Mistral. Actually the ad says few things, apart from saying that this is a stalled restoration and that the car is complete and all parts come with the car. There aren’t neither photos of engine or undercarriage, but those few photos are… Read More Most work done: 196? Maserati Mistral
