The Maserati Mistral, named after a cold northerly wind of France, marked a pivotal moment for Maserati as it was the last model to feature the brand's iconic inline-six engine, a direct descendant of the legendary 250F Grand Prix car. Introduced at the 1963 Turin Auto Show, the Mistral was a stylistic tour de force, penned by Pietro Frua, who crafted a sleek, elegant fastback body that stood in stark contrast to the more traditional designs of its contemporaries. Produced until 1970, only around 830 coupes and 125 spiders were ever built, making any Mistral a rare sight and a testament to Maserati's golden era of grand touring. This particular 1968 Maserati Mistral Coupe, finished in a striking red, presents a unique opportunity for restoration. With 0 miles indicated, this vehicle is offered as a project, ready for a discerning enthusiast to bring its timeless beauty back to life. While the original engine and transmission details are not specified, the Mistral typically featured Maserati's robust 3.5, 3.7, or 4.0-liter inline-six powerplants, often paired with a five-speed ZF manual gearbox, though an automatic was also an option. This Mistral awaits a new chapter, promising a rewarding journey for the dedicated collector.
