If you can find one at all you will really have to look exceptionally well. It has been a long time since we have seen such a beautiful and original Maserati Ghibli. This "Verde Gemma" example was delivered on the 25th day of November 1970 by Grossman Motor Car Corporation in West Nyack, New York in the United States. She still wears the same livery as the day she left factory. Since then, the car has driven only just over 14,000 miles. The Maserati Ghibli is an absolute masterpiece drawn by a 32-year-old Giorgetto Giugiaro when he was employed by design house Ghia. The car features fantastic folding headlights and a stunning low nose with a dry-sump 4.7-liter V8 engine. The Ghibli is a 2+2 Gran Tourer with fantastic handling. Looking at its performance, it could almost be that people would be more likely to make an association with an airplane when seeing it. Even today, the Ghibli is an exceptionally fast car. The standard 0-100 sprint takes just 6.8 seconds. The top speed is at a still impressive 250 kilometers per hour. According to connoisseurs, in the 1970s the Ghibli was always in the shadow of the Ferrari Daytona, it was always a bit: "Daytona v.s. Ghibli". Today, that doesn't play at all and everyone appreciates the Maserati Ghibli for what it actually is: a sublimely fast, picture-perfect, Gran Tourer. The Ghibli was exported to Switzerland in 2004. The car had driven only 10,310 miles at that time. The first owner in Switzerland owned the car until 2006 and sold the Ghibli to a collector in Germany in 2006. The mileage at the time was only 13,000 miles. The car has had very extensive maintenance in Switzerland between 2004 and 2006. Service invoices are present with the car's documentation.
The car stands on beautiful Campagnolo wheels with good tires. The green paint is in very well cared for condition. The bodywork is beautifully original with nice thin sheet metal and correct fits. Also, all the chrome work is in beautiful original condition and fits beautifully everywhere. The leather has developed a beautiful patina over the years and lifts the original appearance of this Maserati Ghibli to an even higher level. The keep steering wheel and original carpets are also in good condition. Technically, the Maserati also has nothing to be desired. The five-speed ZF transmission shifts perfectly and contributes to the fantastic driving experience of this Maserati Ghibli. But let's not forget the absolute star of the evening: that fantastic quad-cam, dry-sump, 310-hp, V8 Maserati engine. The engine features 4 twin Weber carburetors and sounds fantastic. Everything about this Maserati Ghibli is fun, from the fantastic color scheme, to the super original interior to the wonderful history. Looking for a Maserati Ghibli 4.7 coupé in original condition with low mileage? This is your car.
