The Maserati 3500 GT marked a pivotal moment for the Modenese marque, ushering in an era of series production grand touring cars after years of limited-run, racing-derived machines. Launched at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show, the 3500 GT combined Maserati's competition-honed engineering with luxurious, road-focused comfort. Its heart was a 3.5-liter inline-six derived from the legendary 350S race car, albeit detuned for street use, producing a robust 220 hp. Clothed in elegant Superleggera aluminum coachwork by Touring of Milan, the 3500 GT quickly became a darling of the jet set, offering a sophisticated blend of performance and Italian style. Over its seven-year production run, approximately 2,226 examples were built, solidifying Maserati's place in the burgeoning grand tourer market. This 1960 Maserati 3500 GT, chassis 26199, represents a unique opportunity to acquire an unmolested example of this iconic model. Emerging from over 40 years of single ownership, this Touring-bodied coupe presents in its original livery of black over a red leather interior, showcasing an honest patina acquired over decades. While it currently houses a non-matching numbers engine and is not running, its original, disassembled engine is included in the sale, offering the next custodian the chance to reunite it with its factory heart. This straight and remarkably original 3500 GT awaits a comprehensive restoration, ready to be brought back to its former glory by a discerning enthusiast.
