The story
Maserati’s official 1970 Chicago Motor Show display car, restored over seven years and recognized at Amelia Island in 2021. Matching-numbers 4.7 V8, ZF five-speed and Classiche documentation.
Completed at Maserati on 28 January 1970, chassis AM115*1520 was selected as the factory's official display car for the February 1970 Chicago Motor Show. It retains its matching-numbers 4.7-litre quad-cam V8, paired with a ZF S5-325 five-speed manual gearbox.
The factory specification combines Verde Bosco Metallizzato, Salchi 106G15, with White Connolly PAC 1544 leather. The 330-horsepower V8, Borrani wire wheels and two-door Ghibli coachwork give this car its distinctive Italian grand touring character.
Seven-year concours restoration
The current custodian acquired the car in 2014 and commissioned a comprehensive restoration completed in 2021. Mike Kleeves of Automobile Metal Shapers handled bodywork, while Terry Myrr rebuilt the engine, including a new crankshaft and lubrication improvements. The work is supported by restoration documentation.
The car received a class award at the 2021 Amelia Island Concours d’Élégance. Maserati Classiche certificates and a certified original delivery note substantiate its factory identity and specification. Custom luggage, restoration records and award documentation accompany the car.
Mileage is recorded as 37,969 miles, with approximately 200 miles covered since the concours restoration. It is located in a private collection in Palm Beach County, Florida. Independent inspections and documentation review are welcome by appointment; worldwide transportation assistance is available.
