THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
Bonhams is pleased to offer this outstanding 1971 Maserati Indy 4900. The car is the 45th example of only 300 Indy 4900s produced. Adding to its rarity, the car is 1 of only 39 specimens that were sent to the US with the highly desirable ZF 5-speed manual transmission. In accordance with the Maserati Classiche documentation, the Indy was ordered new by Grossman Motor Cars of New York in April of 1971, with a production date set for September of that same year. The grand tourer was outfitted with air conditioning, power steering, Borrani dial forged wheels, power windows, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio.
In 2016, the Indy and its 4.9-liter power plant were the recipients of a comprehensive, yearlong restoration which has left the car in impeccable condition. The exterior received new paint and chrome, the interior was completely re-trimmed, and the mechanics and electrics were sorted. Receipts from the restoration are on file, detailing the extensive work performed. The car retains its original, numbers matching 4.9-liter engine that it was fitted with at the factory. The Indy is accompanied by its original owner's manual, tool kit, Maserati Classiche documentation, certificate of origin, and restoration receipts.
The Indy is often praised as one of Maserati's great road cars of the era. The classic Vignale coachwork perfectly emphasized the cars outstanding performance, yet gives the car enough elegance to make it worthy of the trident on the hood. With its 4.9-liter engine, ZF 5-speed manual transmission, and desirable livery, this particular example is undoubtedly one of the finest. An excellent car for high-speed rallies such as the Copperstate 1000, this stylish Indy 4900 is ready for its next caretaker.
