1977 Aston Martin AM V8

After founder David Brown sold Aston Martin to ‘Company Developments’ in January 1972, work started on a comprehensive facelift of DBS V8, the main visual cue being the adoption of single headlamps and a revised front grille. Known as AMV8, the car retained the Bosch mechanical fuel injection system until August 1973, when four twin choke Weber carburetors were fitted, a bigger bonnet bulge to clear the carburetor air box, and a re-designed fuel tank to allow more luggage space. After another change of ownership in 1975, AMV8 continued unchanged until 1977, when detailed engine modifications were announced as the “Stage 1” tune. Among other things, the exhaust system was revised to improve engine breathing. The Aston Martin V8 engine was first run in anger in 5.0-liter form at the 1967 Le Mans 24 hours, installed in two Lola T70’s run by Team Surtees. Sadly the engines did not last long but the lessons learned from this failure ensured that major revisions were incorporated into the forthcoming production unit. The result was a 5.3-liter V8 that was possibly over engineered but with the benefit of being rugged and reliable if maintained correctly. In US-spec, it produced 286-hp and 332 lb-ft of torque and was mated to either a ZF 5-speed manual gearbox or Chrysler 3-speed automatic transmission. This 1977 Aston Martin AM V8 is one of 967 Series 3 Coupes (Volante not introduced until a year later, along with the Series 4 “Oscar India”). Finished in burgundy, it comes equipped with a simulated hood scoop (a Series 3 trait), fender vents, dual color-matched side mirrors, chrome bumpers with overriders, and 15″ GKN alloy wheels dressed in 235/70 radial tires. A “miniscule” paint ship is reported on the driver-sode fender and the passenger-side mirror is said to be out of alignment. The interior is upholstered in Tan hides and features a console-mounted automatic gear selector, air conditioning, power windows, and a Blaupunkt CR-3003 AM/FM Cassette. The driver’s seat shows a minor tear. Displaying 44,344 miles at the time of listing (title reads mileage exempt), the carburettors are said to have been rebuilt in 2017. With its original owner’s manual, this 1977 Aston Martin AM V8 Coupe can be found here on Auto Hunters by a dealer in Northfield, Illinois with five days remaining in the auction.


2000 BMW 323i/M3 Touring

The BMW E46, introduced in 1998, was then and remains one of the most beloved of all 3-Series generations. Its design represents the peak of the Bangle era and has gone on to become ageless. Its anolog mechanics were advanced without being fussy. It speaks of a time when the everyday driving experience took precedence over the practicality of an SUV, when rear-wheel-drive station wagons made the ideal touring car. To that end, it’s no surprise that the E46 Touring (wagon) was so popular in its day and remains sought after today. Second perhaps only to the E46 M3, a performance car that, with its 3.0-liter 333-hp S54 inline 6, made a formidable competitor to the Porsche 911, never mind direct competition from Mercedes-Benz and Audi. However, whereas the latter two had wagon versions of their performance compacts (C 43 Touring, S4 Avant), BMW had no such model. It begged the question what if, and that is precisely what one owner of a 2000 BMW 323i did: converted it to a what-if M3 Touring. Its painstaking modifications include: M3 hood, fenders, kidney grilles, side grilles, and side mirrors; M3 bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, and corner lights; BMW E46 Touring taillights with clear signal lenses; front bumper reflectors removed; M3 fender liners, front brake ducts, and belly pan; custom-fit M3 rear bumper; and M3 trunk floor. Inside we find M3 seats and door panels re-upholstered with red Nappa leather; a suede-wrapped headliner and A/B/C pillars; a ZHP shift knob; M tri-color shift boot and parking brake handle; M3 rearview mirror; M3 dead pedal; and M Sport door sills. The heart and true beauty of an M3 lies in its drivetrain, suspension and brakes. To that extent, this 323i/M3 Touring was fitted with an S54 inline-6 engine swap (~183,000 miles at the time of the swap); Lang Racing Development resurfaced and balanced crankshaft; Beisan Systems VANOS upgrades; a 6-speed Getrag 420G manual transmission (~183,000 miles at the time of the swap); a full factory M3 exhaust system; M3 exhaust manifold gaskets, section 1 and 2 gaskets, and exhaust hangers; UUC Motorwerks Stage 2 lightweight flywheel and clutch kit; M3 driveshaft, flex disk, differential, axles, and limited-slip differential; rear subframe reinforcement; front M3 subframe; Bilstein PSS9 coilovers; M3 steering rack; M3 front control arms, tie rods, spindles, front and rear sway bars, and top hats; polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings; front and rear M3 brake calipers; and M3 brake pads, rotors, brake lines, brake booster, and master cylinder. A true, faithful M3 Touring fairy tale, this 2000 BMW 323i/M3 Touring is now being offered for sale on Cars & Bids, with an always entertaining review by Doug DeMuro, closing June 19, 2025 at 1:25 p.m. EDT.

2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Some six decades since the official importation of the first 356 to Canada in 1961, the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto showcases the continuing strength of the Canadian market for Porsche. To announce its opening, this 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS was designed specifically by Porsche Cars Canada alongside Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur department. Unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, this car is a stunning showcase of the abilities of the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur “Sonderwunsch” (special wishes) program to design and create automobiles that are unique in every aspect. Undeniably Canadian from every angle, the livery on the PECTO GT3 RS is a homage to the Canadian flag utilizing Porsche’s own shades of Guards Red and White and showcases fanatical attention to detail. The offset exterior color split is delineated by the location of the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock marker, with each side of the car boasting deviated accent colors from the main exterior color apparent on that respective side, including the GT3 RS side graphics, maple leaf painted on the roof, the outer lips of the black forged magnesium wheels, maple leaf painted on the centerlocks, Porsche script underneath the rear wing, and the PECTO logo on either side of the rear wing. The theme carries through to the GT3 RS’ interior with Pepita inserts on the seat centers and door cards in deviating red and white, red and white contrast stitching on the doors, red and white pass-throughs on the carbon fiber bucket seats, PECTO logos on the headrests, alongside Guards Red seat belts and the chrono stopwatch dial and tachometer in white. Replacing the usual ‘GT3 RS’ script on the illuminated doorsills is an outline of the Toronto skyline, illuminated in red and white. In addition to the car’s incredible color scheme, the PECTO GT3 RS remains exceptionally well-optioned including the Weissach package, 90-liter fuel tank, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with calipers in Gloss Black, front axle lift, preparation for Porsche dashcam, passenger footwell mounted fire extinguisher, LED-Matrix Design headlights in black, Exclusive Design taillights, Bose Surround Sound system, automatic dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor, pedals and footrest in aluminum, and traffic sign recognition. In addition to the car itself, the winning bidder will receive a scale model of the car, a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph, as well as a driving experience at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto. Finally, Porsche Cars Canada has elected that any amount over the PECTO GT3 RS’ reserve price will be donated to Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium), a charity that has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families since 1983. Through in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, the organization creates opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, they empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. Visit www.campfirecircle.org for more information.A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, Porsche Production Specification Report, and Monroney window sticker (Stuttgart Studios repro), as well as a clean, accident-free Carfax Report accompany the sale.

1986 Audi Coupe GT

You would be hard-pressed to find any automotive enthusiast who doesn’t have a certain regard for the Audi ur-Quattro, the homologated version of the turbocharged four-wheel-drive coupé that dominated world rally in the early ’80s. It singlehandedly moved Audi from sedate Teutonic but upscale family car to a motorsport powerhouse that will see a Formula 1 entry in 2026. Lesser known is Audi Coupe GT, a more sedate (naturally aspirated, front-wheel-drive), Teutonic (no box-flared fenders) yet sporty two-door fastback. Introduced to American buyers in late 1981, the Coupe shared its drivetrain with the earlier 4000 5+5 two-door notchback (tip: find one, buy it), combining a peppier-than-it-sounds 100-hp 2.1-liter inline-5 with a 5-speed manual gearbox, enough to move the circa 2,500-lb car to 60 in 10.5 seconds and on to 109 mph. 14″ alloy wheels and low-profile tires contribute to the Coupe’s excellent handling. Even though the public never caught on, the automotive press loved it. Road & Track had dubbed this Audi “the best sports coupe” in its August 1981 “10 Best Cars for the Eighties” issue, and, in May 1985, Car and Driver would call it “the automotive equivalent of the natural athlete.” Minor changes were made throughout the early years and in 1985, a facelift, which in addition to better-integrated bumpers, smoother lower body panels, a sloped grille and flush headlamps, would add an additional 100 cc’s and 10 horsepower, resulting in a 0–60 in just over 9 seconds (respectable for the day). Despite nearly 170,000 Coupes made between 1981 and 1987, very few come up for sale (about a third as many as the ur-Quattro, which itself doesn’t exactly flood the market). This 1986 Audi Coupe GT is a one-year-only Commemorative Edition featuring Red leather and features a digital instrument cluster. It is finished in Graphite Metallic and comes equipped with 15″ wheels, a sunroof, a rear wiper, and power-operated windows. An aftermarket Alpine head unit is noted as the only modification. Imperfections consist of exterior chips and scratches, a ding on the rear hatch, some curb scratches on the wheels, wear and creases on the driver’s seat, some stains on the headliner, and some corrosion on underbody components. The seller reports that the A/C is inoperative, the car idles roughly when cold, the digital dash is intermittent, the hand crank does not operate the sunroof, and the driver’s door window is noisy when operating. In addition, the odometer is said to operate intermittently. As a result, this Audi is offered as True Mileage Unknown, or TMU. The attached Carfax report shows no mileage discrepancies, and the odometer currently displays 65,969 miles. With two keys, the owner’s manuals, service records, and various spare parts including A/C components, grille, and dash pad, this 1986 Audi Coupe GT is for sale on Cars & Bids out of Sausalito, California with five days remaining in the auction.


1996 Bentley Continental R

The star of the 1991 Geneva Auto Show, the Bentley Continental R is often referred to as “a Rolls-Royce for the driver.” It was Bentley’s first stand-alone model following its separation from Rolls-Royce, the first Bentley to have its gear selector on the transmission tunnel, and at the time, the most powerful—and most expensive—production Bentley ever. The Continental name itself evoked the magnificent high-performance Bentley S2 of the late ’50s and early ’6os, while the R stood for “roadholdiing,” which for a 210″ long, 5,340-lb car, it did reasonably well. The Mulliner Park Ward-built body of this 1996 Bentley Continental R is finished in British Racing Green and features bright mesh grilles, quad headlamps, chrome trim along the bumpers and window surrounds, and dual exhaust outlets. It rides on 17″ five-spoke Bentley alloy wheels fitted with Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza tires from 2022 and driven approximately 5,000 miles. The paint benefits from ceramic coating, and the seller notes minor touched-up stone chips, along with a small dent on the passenger-side front fender. The cabin is upholstered in Soft Tan leather with green piping and matching door panels, carpets, and mouton wool overlays, complemented by rich burled walnut veneers that accent the dashboard, center console, and door tops. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, a leather- and wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a cassette stereo system. A factory-installed glovebox-mounted mobile phone remains in place, though it is not connected. The seller notes two minor hairline cracks in the wood finish. Power comes from a turbocharged and intercooled 6.75-liter V8 engine featuring an aluminum block and heads, generating a factory-rated 385 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven through a 4-speed GM 4L80-E automatic transmission. The Continental R features a fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system (ABS). Standard equipment includes a mineral oil hydraulic system with dual brake accumulators and rear suspension accumulators for consistent braking and self-leveling ride control. Showing 46,624 miles at the time of listing, the car is said to have been fully serviced and is ready for continued use, with no known mechanical issues noted. This sale will include the owner’s manuals, a spare tire, a car cover, a battery charger, a custom leather front and rear window sunscreen, and a clean title. It’s listed on PCARMARKET by a private seller in Fort Lauderdale with five days left to bid.

2000 Porsche 911 GT3 MK 1

If the 996-generation Carrera can be considered a bargain 911, at the opposite end of the spectrum is that generation’s GT3. It was a continuation of the RS 911s that date back to the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 up through the 993-generation RS 3.8. But instead of being a homologation special like the RSs, the GT3 arrived as a driver’s 911. It borrowed from the extensive Porsche motorsports playbook, including the Mezger-designed normally aspirated 360-hp 3.6-liter engine that was a derivative of the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1, as well as a Weissach-developed six-speed manual gearbox with limited slip, and a stiffer and lower suspension with adjustable coil-overs, uprated front wheel bearings, beefier rod ends, and adjustable anti-roll bars. The brakes are bigger than its bargain sibling, with six-pot calipers in the front and four-pot in the rear. It shares the wide body with the Turbo though without the flared arches and side air intakes. The unique rear wing, combined with a unique front fascia and side skirts reduce drag and provide additional downforce. The US was denied the GT3 until the 996.2 generation in 2004, but thanks to the 25-year-rule, the coveted MK 1 (996.1) 911 GT3 is now fair game this year. The first and only GT3 to be built at the Porsche Development Center Weissach, production was limited to 1,860 units worldwide. It was also the first production car to lap the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife in under eight seconds, with the legendary Walter Röhrl at the wheel in 1999. This 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 was bought new in Germany and owned for the first 16 years by a famous world champion Rally car driver (documented in a binder full of history). It wears its all-original Black [A1A1] paint and comes equipped from the factory with [197] Strong Battery, [321] Porsche CDR 22 Stereo, [441] Radio Preparation, [571] Charcoal Filter, [573] Air Conditioning, and [981] Leather Dashboard and Door Panels. Furthermore, it was sent to Werk 1 for Sonderwunsch special-order items [09981], [09991] that included Leather Recaro Hard Shell Seats and a Roll Cage. It remains entirely original save for Cargraphic 100cell cats and mufflers.
(original mufflers and cats are included). Displaying around 40,000 kilometers (~25,000 miles), recent maintenance includes an engine oil and filter service, replacement of fuel filter, pollen filter, air filter, windshield wipers, spark plugs, belts, and hood shocks, as well as a brake fluid flush. There a less than 500 miles on a new clutch pack and transmission fluid. This was the first time the clutch had been replaced on this car. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are said to have travelled less than 1000 miles since being installed in 2022. With all keys, owner’s manuals, complete tool case, and history binder, this 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 is offered for sale by its owner in Jupiter, Florida on Rennlist Marketplace at an asking price of $169,996.


2005 Ferrari F430

While the Ferrari F430, which debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, was an evolution of the successful mid-engine V8 formula that began with the 308 GTB/GTS, it also represented a big step forward for Ferrari. Though somewhat similar in appearance to its predecessor, the 360 Modena. the 430 featured a more aggressive front end with large intakes inspired by the Ferrari 156 F1 that Phil Hill drove to the 1961 F1 World Championship. The car’s profile reveals sharp, flowing lines that channel air efficiently along its sculpted Pinifarina-designed bodywork. More importantly came substantial technological advancements. Making nearly 485 hp from a 4.3-liter naturally aspirated V8, the F430 hit 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. The F430 was also Ferrari’s first road car to incorporate the innovative “E-Diff,” an electronic differential designed to enhance cornering stability, and the “Manettino” steering wheel dial, allowing drivers to switch between dynamic driving modes, tailoring the car’s behavior to road or track conditions. It sold well with total production estimated to be just above 15,000 units, but by the time Ferrari released the F430, many manufacturers were focused on outright speed and less on driver engagement. There was an industry-wide obsession with Nürburgring lap times and 0 – 60 figures, which meant manual transmissions began falling out of favor—even the early flappy paddle gearboxes fired off faster shifts than what was humanly possible. As such, Ferrari and other OEMs began to gradually phase out models with manuals, with Ferrari ending production of manual-equipped cars in 2010. As we now know, driver engagement still proved to be relevant with, well, drivers and manual gearboxes are now coveted. This example, then, is a quintessential example of an F430 Coupe. Delivered new to Ferrari of Atlanta, this 2005 Ferrari F430 is finished in classic Rosso Corsa over Cuoio Leather and equipped from the factory with Electrically Operated Seats, Upholstered Top, Leather Upholstered Rear Bench, and a High-power Hi-Fi Sound System. Most importantly, it came from the factory with a gated 6-speed manual gearbox (not a conversion). The car has passed through three owners, amassing a relatively spare 8,5,72 miles with no accidents in its history. No records of service are published, however it is complete with two keys, books, tool case, and fitted luggage.

1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E

As the “Q-ship” battles among German sport sedans were heating up in the late ’80s and early ’90s, to one-up BMW’s newly introduced 310-hp E34 M5, Mercedes stuffed the 322-hp 5.0-liter M119 V8 from the R129 SL 500 under the bonnet of its W124 E-Class. Its engineers, however, had their hands and minds full with core-competency products like the W140 S-Class. Enter Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche, Kunstruktion und Beratung für Motoren und Fahrzeugbau (Honorary Doctor of Engineering of Porsche Construction and Consulting Services for Engines and Vehicles) AG —or as we know it simply as Porsche—just up the road (B10). In 1990, Porsche was facing serious financial strain after developing the 85% new 964, on top of plummeting sales of its transaxle offerings. As a provider of “construction and consulting services for engines and vehicles,” they were more than willing to lend hands and minds. Fitting the M119 required a widening of the engine bay, and along with it those subtly muscular fender flares. The issue was that this wider W124 would no longer fit on the assembly line without significant and cost-prohibitive modifications. Re-enter Porsche, specifically the hand-build Reutter werks. Mercedes-Benz shipped parts to be assembled then brought the body-in-white back to be painted at their Sindelfingen facility. Then it was back to Porsche for engine installation and final assembly before returning to Sindelfingen for inspection and delivery. The process to build a single 500 E took 18 days and nearly DM90,000. It’s a remarkable collaboration of two Stuttgart titans that we’re not likely to see again. But to some customers, remarkable wasn’t good enough, and when their 500 E was picked up from Sindelfingen, the car went promptly up to Affalterbach for further tuning by AMG. This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E was originally sold new in Lexington, Kentucky where it remained dealer serviced with the original owner until joining a collection in 2019. The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic [199] with gray lower body cladding. Equipment includes lower front fog lights, headlight wipers, 500 E-specific headlights, and a power sunroof. The car features a facelift update at the front, including an updated waterfall-style hood, grille, and headlights from a 1994 E 500. The current owner has done a three-step paint correction in preparation for the sale. 199 Black Pearl Metallic has a fragile clear coat that crazes over time and this car exhibits none of those side effects. The cabin features front and rear Recaro designed sport seats upholstered in Anthracite Leather [271], which continues to each door card. Burl wood trim accents the dashboard, center stack in the front and rear, and door panels. Minor cracks in the wood veneer can be seen around the window switches. Equipment includes power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual front airbags, an electric rear roller blind, automatic climate control, and a Becker Grand Prix stereo. The Becker head unit was rebuilt in 2019 along with the shifter bushings, air conditioning compressor, and dryer being replaced in February 2023. Floor mats are missing. The Porsche-tuned 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory rated at 322 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed 722.3 automatic transmission. Showing 56,502 miles at the time of listing, its history shows dealer servcing during the original owner’s tenure which ended in 2019. The most recent service was performed by Mercedes-Benz of Nashville. The faux leather air intake boot covers are still intact. The air conditioning control module and an oil change was performed in 2019 along with a brake fluid flush. The current seller changed the fuel filter and fuel pumps in preparation for the sale. The previous owner performed major service in February 2023 that included the replacement of the following parts:transmission fluid flush; rear end links; front spindle bushings; control arms; tie rods; wheel-speed sensors; air filter and intake tubes; belt tensioner; water pump; coolant flush; thermostat; oil pan gasket; oil level sender; lower engine harness; spark plugs; exhaust hangers; fuel filter; valve cover gaskets; camshaft seals; an air conditioning compressor and dryer. With the owner’s manual, service records, a tool kit, a clean Carfax, and a clean Kentucky title, this 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500 E is now listed on The MB Market with six days left to bid.

1964 Porsche 356 C

The 356–the Porsche that started it all—was last revised as the C version for the 1964 model year. With a 74-hp engine carried over from the B version’s 1600 Super, along with the T6 body style first introduced in 1962, the 356 C nevertheless remained popular, particularly with purists who found the 911 too much of a family car. The most important technical change in the 356 C was new four wheel ATE disc brakes, combined with the thicker diaphragm clutch previously reserved for the outgoing Super 90. This 1964 Porsche 356 C, chassis № 216508, comes finished from the factory in Champagne Yellow [6405] with Green Leatherette [K], and optioned with a Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM/SW radio and Chrome Wheels, both of which it retains. It wears an older repaint that is showing some wear, while the original floor pans have some corrosion. The original interior is also showing its age. Mechanically however, it is said to start instantly, and idle, accelerate, turn, and brake well after a recent top-end motor refresh, carb rebuild, starter, fuel pump, brakes, shocks, steering coupler, all filters, fluids, plugs, etc. A “sweet driving car,” according to its owner in Deerfield, Illinois. It’s listed here at The Mart (Porsche Club of America classifieds) at an asking price of $91,000.


1992 Ferrari 512 TR

While the 308 GT/GTS tends to come to mind most often at the mention of “Ferrari,” in many people’s minds, a close second might be the Testarossa. Taking its name from the 250 and 500 Testarossa sports racing cars from the late ’50s, the successor to the 512 BBi was introduced at the Paris Auto Show in 1984. Its bold Pininfarina styling was a sensation with its large air intakes and “cheese grater” strakes directing air to them. Likewise, its 4.9-liter flat-12 featured four valves per cylinder for the first time. Producing 385 hp, it was the second-most powerful production car when it went on public sale for the 1985 model year (behind the Aston Martin V8 Vantage). The Testarossa became an instant bedroom poster car. It was further engrained in popular culture after Sonny Crockett replaced his beloved Daytona Spyder (a Corvette replica) with a (real) Testarossa early in the third season of Miami Vice. Not messing with a good thing, in 1991 the Testarossa was facelifted and badged the 512 TR. While similar in appearance, the body was smoothened to improve aerodynamics. Multiple updates to the mid-engined 12-cylinder flagship targeted both appearance and mechanical underpinnings. Weight distribution improved, while updated air intakes, engine management, headwork, and exhaust elevated output to 428 hp and 362 lb-ft of torque. From the driver’s seat, tactile improvements yielded faster gear changes of the 5-speed gated manual transaxle. This 1992 Ferrari 512 TR Prototype is presented in iconic Rosso Corsa over a Nero leather interior. With a reported 2,280 units having left Ferrari’s Maranello works by 1994, it is believed that only 408 were imported to the United States. Further, this early car stands as one of two pre-production US-market 512 TR Prototypes. Defining Pininfarina bodywork features pop-up headlights, five-spoke alloy wheels, and deep side strakes, while the two-seat interior opens to Connolly leather upholstery, benefiting from subtle changes over its predecessor for improved comfort and usability. This Prototype’s updated seat ergonomics, a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel, dashboard, and console showcase a pivotal moment in time and diligent preservation. Additional factory equipment consists of power windows, power-adjustable side door mirrors, air conditioning, and center console gauges. An aftermarket Eclipse AM/FM/CD stereo counts as the only significant interior modification. Service documentation states non-expense-spared routine care, including a recent engine out service. With 21,619 miles at the time of cataloguing, this 1992 Ferrari 512 TR is accompanied by owner’s literature, Schedoni leather luggage, a toolkit, car cover, fire extinguisher, and clean CarFax history. It’s being offered here at SOMO with the auction closing June 13, at 6:00 p.m. EDT.


1963 Maserati 3500 GTi

The Maserati 3500 GT model was introduced at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show in the form of two prototypes, from which Carrozzeria Touring’s 2+2 luxury coupe, overseen by works racer Giulio Alfieri, was chosen to enter production later that year. The 3500GT was Maserati’s first series production car, benefitting heavily from its previous racing experience. Beneath its elegantly styled Superleggera construction (aluminum body panels wrapped over a tubular steel spaceframe) sat a tubular chassis and a DOHC inline six-cylinder engine derived from the 350S sports car. With 220 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque, the 2800-ish pound 3500GT’s performance was on-par with contemporary road-bound Ferrari 250s and Aston Martin DB4s. In 1962, the model was further developed into the 3500 GTi, featuring increased power output and a 5-speed manual transmission. Retaining its predecessor’s Carrozzeria Touring-designed Superleggera coachwork, the GTi variant introduced subtle yet distinctive updates, including a slightly longer wheelbase, a lowered roofline, a slimmer chrome grille surround, rectangular front indicators, revised quarter windows, and taillight assemblies with three separate lenses. This 1963 Maserati 3500 GTi is finished in silver and rides aftermarket Borrani wire-spoke wheels with Pirelli tires from 2012 with 75% tread remaining. The seller notes a small imperfection on the nose, a spot repair was performed on the decklid, and a minor dent repair on the fender was carried out under prior ownership in 2011. The 2+2 cabin is trimmed in red leather upholstery covering the seats and door panels, contrasted by a black dashboard, instrument panel, and carpeting. A black-finished three-spoke steering wheel fronts Veglia instrumentation with chrome bezels, including a 240-km/h speedometer, 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. Additional interior features include chrome interior door handles, vent windows, toggle switchgear, and a floor-mounted gear selector. Power is provided by a 3.5-liter inline-six engine, which features Weber carburetors in place of the Lucas fuel injection installed under prior ownership. Derived from the Maserati 350S, the engine features an aluminum block and cylinder head, dual overhead camshafts, hemispherical combustion chambers, mechanical Marelli ignition, dual ignition, and dual fuel pumps. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a ZF 5-speed manual transmission paired with a limited-slip differential. The seller states the muffler has a small hole, resulting in a minor leak. A clean title, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a Viale Ciro Menotti Issue 105 magazine accompany the sale of this 1963 Maserati 3500 GTi, listed on PCARMARKET out of Jupiter, Florida with two days remaining in the auction.
