With just a single owner since 1988, this professionally restored 1971 Maserati Ghibli SS is one of only 1,274 examples produced between 1967 and 1973, and one of a mere 425 coupes to leave the Modena factory with the desirable SS trim. The car was purchased from MIE Corporation, the commercial arm of Maserati Club International that offers a curated selection of Maseratis for purchase and an extensive inventory of genuine classic Maserati parts. The Ghibli SS subsequently underwent a restoration at Personalized Automotive Services in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The Ghibli SS made its debut in 1970 with a larger-displacement 4.9L DOHC V-8 rated for 335 HP, the engine’s four twin-throat Weber carburetors, four camshafts, special exhaust and a 5-speed ZF gearbox encouraged running the factory-stroked V-8 up to the redline. Dry-sump oiling set the big V-8 apart from the rest of the Maserati stable. Independent front suspension and a plate-spring Salisbury live rear axle, front and rear stabilizer bars, and optional power steering offer grand-touring road control.
A self-locking rear differential assured maximum launch traction, and 4-wheel vented disc brakes with multi-piston calipers were engineered to slow the Ghibli from its 174 MPH top speed with confidence. Fender-mounted side mirrors, gossamer chrome bumpers and signature red paint accent Giorgetto Giugiaro design, and the cabin is outfitted with front sport bucket seats and the vestigial rear bench seat that allowed Maserati to offer the Ghibli as a 2+2. New white leather upholstery flows from the door panels to the center console, and the dash features Veglia gauges.
Electric windows, an adjustable steering wheel, factory air conditioning and AM/FM stereo deliver Italian-style comfort and entertainment. The Ghibli SS rides on 15-inch Campagnolo Starburst magnesium alloy wheels.
