A barn find that involves a Maserati doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, it’s something that many people are drooling over.
This time, it’s the ’62 Maserati 3500 GTi the one that’s getting everyone’s attention, as the car has been stored in the best of conditions for so many years.
Noow it’s being sold on Craigslist, and it’s described as the excellent candidate for a restoration that could eventually be sold for over $400,000.
The Maserati comes with the full history since it left the factory, and Classic Investments claims there’s even a documentary with the car presented by none other than its second owner.
No change has been made inside, so the interior is in pretty good condition, with all gauges still intact. Furthermore, the car comes with the original Maserati factory key, something that’s nearly impossible to find these days, while the spare tire looks like it’s never been used.
Now the part that everyone is interested in. The engine still turns over, but it goes without saying some fixes are still needed to make it work like a daily driver.
“Inside the engine bay lives the original, numbers matching inline six that helped put Maserati on the map back in the 1960s. The engine does turn over. The rare Lucas Fuel Injection system is completely intact, still attached to the valve cover and intake manifold. Many of these cars have had these systems removed and replaced with Weber carburetors when they were relatively new. The bottom side of the hood even has its insulation still intact, very rare indeed,” the company that sells it explains.
Needless to say, the car doesn’t come cheap, but this makes perfect sense given it’s not the typical barn find that you see every day. The ’62 Maserati can be yours for “just” $150,000, which the seller says is a fair price given you can then sell the fully-restored model for more than double.
