The Maserati Indy, named to commemorate Maserati's two victories at the Indianapolis 500 in 1939 and 1940, represented a luxurious and sporting grand tourer designed for the discerning enthusiast who desired both performance and comfort. Introduced at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show as a replacement for the aging Mexico, the Indy featured sleek, contemporary fastback styling by Vignale, offering 2+2 seating in a more spacious and modern package. Initially launched with a 4.2-liter V8, the model evolved through its production run, with the potent 4.7-liter arriving in 1970 and the ultimate 4.9-liter in 1971, solidifying its status as a true high-performance GT. While total Indy production reached just under 1,140 units, the 4.9-liter variant was the rarest, with only approximately 300 examples built between 1972 and 1975, making it a highly sought-after iteration. This 1972 Maserati Indy 4.9 is a numbers-matching example, presented in classic red over a black interior. Showing 82,000 miles, this particular Indy stands out with its rare automatic transmission, a desirable option for grand touring comfort. Currently undergoing a restoration, the vehicle has received a fresh paint job, revealing a good body and solid undercarriage. The engine and exhaust have been recently installed for transportation purposes, with the transmission, glass, and interior components having been removed for the ongoing restoration. All parts visible in the accompanying pictures are included with the car, which rolls and steers freely for transport and comes with a clean and clear title. This represents an exceptional chance to complete the revival of a low-production, top-specification Maserati grand tourer.
