Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Coupé by Ghia 1969 |
The Maserati Ghibli has been described as possibly the most handsome car of the 1960s. Without question, it was certainly one of the fastest. It was styled in Ghia’s studios by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the iconic designer who would become a future legend.
The Ghibli debuted at the 1966 Turin Motor Show and was very well received. The striking bodywork was wrapped around an aluminium-block V-8 engine, with dry-sump lubrication and double overhead cams. The Ghibli, including SS and cabriolet variants, outsold both of its biggest rivals, the Ferrari Daytona and the Lamborghini Miura. This was a testament to the design and performance of this stunning car, which offered huge road presence and a fantastic driving experience.

Despite outselling its closest rivals in period, less than 1,149 examples of the Ghibli coupé were produced between 1967 and 1972, ensuring that the Ghibli is a rare car indeed and an uncommon sight on the public highway.
This Ghibli 4.7 Coupe was built in May 1969 and was first delivered to the USA. After finding its way to Europe, this car was subject to an extensive restoration in Switzerland and is presented in stunning red with black interior trim.
