Maserati 3500 GT Touring – The Modest Legend from Modena
Did you know that the Maserati 3500 GT is actually a quiet legend in the world of classic Italian sports cars? While Ferrari often steals the spotlight, this stunning Maserati is just as impressive — and this particular 3500 GT proves it like no other.
One of the Very First Examples Ever Made
The car you see here is one of the very first 50 examples produced, making it incredibly special. Delivered in 1958 by Martinelli & Sonvico in Bienne, Switzerland, it was handed over new to its first owner. In 1972, the Maserati made its way to the United States, where it remained in the loving hands of a dedicated owner for over 43 years.
Exceptionally Original
What makes this Maserati so remarkable is how authentic it still is. The car has never undergone a full restoration but has been carefully preserved over the years. It has only been repainted once in its original color, ‘Grigio Biacca’, and the result is stunning. The bodywork is sleek, with beautifully fitting panel gaps. This Maserati remains pure and in great condition, with a well-preserved body and original details.
This sense of authenticity continues inside the car. The dark blue leather upholstery is still the original leather that left the factory in 1958 — and it still looks fantastic. A beautiful patina enhances the character of this remarkable Maserati. The dashboard retains its original charm, and the instruments are still in excellent condition.
Matching Numbers
This 3500 GT still retains its original engine, making it a true matching numbers example. The 3. 5-liter inline-six is closely related to the legendary Maserati 250F Grand Prix car — a true racing pedigree. The engine runs beautifully, delivering that unmistakable Maserati sound — raw, mechanical, and thrilling. Believe us, it’s incredibly inviting.
A Car with History and Certification
The exceptional originality of this car is further confirmed by certification from Maserati Classiche. Additionally, it comes with all original Maserati factory magazines and the original order form — rare documentation that is seldom preserved with such care.
A Maserati to Dream Of
The 3500 GT was Maserati’s first true commercial success as a luxurious ‘2+2’, designed by the renowned Giulio Alfieri— the same mastermind behind the legendary ‘Birdcage’. This Maserati combines the elegance of Carrozzeria Touring with raw power and sophisticated engineering.
