The Maserati Mistral, introduced in 1963, marked a significant departure for the Modenese marque. Named after a cold northerly wind of France, it was the last Maserati to feature the legendary inline-six engine, a direct descendant of the powerplant that propelled Juan Manuel Fangio to his 1957 F1 World Championship in the 250F. Penned by Pietro Frua, its elegant fastback design, with a large glass rear hatch, was a stylistic triumph, blending classic grand touring proportions with a modern aesthetic. Produced until 1970, with just over 800 coupes and a mere 125 convertibles built, the Mistral remains a highly sought-after classic, celebrated for its exquisite design and motorsport-proven mechanicals. This 1968 Maserati Mistral Convertible presents an enticing opportunity for restoration. While details on its original engine configuration are not provided, it would have left the factory with either a 3.5, 3.7, or 4.0-liter version of Maserati's iconic straight-six, paired with a five-speed manual or, less commonly, an automatic transmission. Showing 0 miles, this example is a true blank canvas, awaiting a discerning collector to bring its inherent beauty back to life. For the enthusiast with vision, this Mistral represents a chance to revive a piece of Maserati's golden age.
