Description
First registration 2/ 1970 in Italy. The complete history is available, the vehicle was delivered new to a customer in Milan. The car was later sold to a collector in Germany in 2014 and then went to another collector, the present owner, also in Germany.
There is a certificate of delivery from Maserati for the car confirming the matching numbers.
The vehicle still has Italian papers, although it came to Germany in 2014, where it was in 2 collector's hands who used the vehicle without permanent registration.
Mechanics
There are numerous invoices showing that more than 12, 000 euros have been invested in recent years.
The engine compression was checked. It was even on all cylinders. The engine starts and runs very well and accelerates smoothly and powerfully. The water pump was replaced and the water and oil circuits were checked.

Condition of the bodywork, paintwork and interior:
The paintwork is in very good condition, with no visible signs of corrosion. It should be noted that the delivery colour was Oro Longchamps (Gold Metallic) according to Maserati.
The full leather interior is in excellent condition, we suspect that the leather of the seats and door panels has been renewed to original quality in recent years
The Borrani alloy wheels are original and in good condition.
Blemishes
The lever for the windscreen wipers needs to be repaired or replaced. The heating cannot be switched off completely. One of the levers for the ventilation control is stuck. The steering wheel is crooked and needs to be adjusted, as does the steering angle.
Equipment
The car comes with 1 set of keys and a folder with invoices and documents, including the Maserati delivery certificate and certificate of origin.
Documents
The vehicle has Italian papers (exported to Germany in 2014)
The car is being sold from private ownership at a very low price. A very good opportunity to acquire a classic V8 Maserati that is a lot of fun to drive.
About the model
The Maserati Indy was offered from 1969 to 1975 alongside the two-seater models such as the Ghibli. Initially, only the smallest Maserati V8 engine was offered for the Indy, ostensibly so as not to outperform the top-of-the-range Ghibli in terms of top speed, which had a less aerodynamic body shape than the newer Indy.
Otherwise, the Indy is technically similar to the Ghibli, from which it has adopted the technical basis. The elegant and sporty-looking body was designed by Vignale and offers space for four people. There is also enough space for bulky luggage under the large tailgate. Thanks to power steering, well-tuned suspension and a powerful V8, the Indy is still fast and fairly comfortable to drive even in today's traffic. An attractive and at the same time significantly cheaper alternative to the Ghibli.
Only around 1, 100 units of all 3 model series together were produced, fewer than the Ghibli.
The car is being sold on behalf of a private customer. Subject to errors and prior sale
