This is a largely preserved and original 1971 Maserati Indy 4.2 (Tipo: AM116) which has been owned by our collector client for the past 20 years. The owner is a longtime collector in North Hollywood and has enjoyed a collection of significant cars.  This is an important and rare find that would be a terrific preservation example or a very straightforward basis for a show quality restoration.  We love the five speed transmission and air conditioning, making this a gentleman’s tourer.

The aesthetic of the Indy is considered by many to be sleek and elegant. Designed by Virginio Vairo at Vignale, this Indy is the 552th example produced (1,142 in total), and 1 of only 436 4.2 liter Indy’s ever made. The early history of this Maserati is largely unknown. It has been in California for well over 20 years and it appears to be a European delivery version as all the instrumentation  are in metric. US delivery vehicles, also called “Indy America,” would have imperial measurements.

According to the owner, in the late 1990’s, the previous owner had inherited the car from his father. It is understood that once this car entered the United States, it spent a majority of its time in Sacramento, CA, before arriving in Los Angeles.

This Indy has an older repaint in an attractive Smoke Quartz (224,652).  The paint is in good condition today, with good to very good depth and shine. There are many small scratches, and small paint chips from normal use that are visible upon close inspection.  The chrome and stainless are all original and in overall good condition, with minimal imperfections. The badging on the front and rear emblems are presentable, but showing patina. The front bumper has a slight bend and would benefit from being repaired.  Overall, this Maserati shows well and we love the avant-garde  design.

The read leather interior is largely original and in overall well preserved condition.  The attractive and sporty red leather seats are supportive and comfortable. Overall, we did not notice any signs of significant wear, but the leather does have splitting and cracking, especially on the two front seats.  The dash, headliner, steering wheel, and gauges are overall good to very good; they present well and are free of any major blemishes. The carpeting, weather stripping, shelf behind the rear seats, and gearshift boot are aged and would benefit from replacement.

Mechanically, this Maserati is in good running condition. We performed a brief test-drive around the neighborhood and found it enjoyable to drive.  The Indy started right up, ran and idled smoothly, the transmission shifted into gear with ease, and the brakes felt solid. The venerable Maserati all-aluminum four overhead cam engine, as would be expected, sounded fantastic and pulled strong.  The four Weber 42 DCNF carburetors are dialed in just right.  All the gauges worked, the steering felt correct, and overall provided a pleasant and engaging driving experience.  And the four wheel disc brakes inspired confidence, even in our limited test drive.

This Indy has been part of a larger collection and used sparingly, so we would recommend the new owner perform a major service.  Many of the finicky electronic issues that can plague these cars, such as window switches, ignition timing, etc., have largely been sorted. The odometer states 73,442km (45,634 miles) and is believed to be original.

Overall, we found this to be a very charismatic Indy which would draw attention at any local car show.  It also has the potential to be a very fun touring car with a small amount of work.

Details about this Indy’s condition are included in the 158-point inspection report which is published as part of this listing. This car is located in North Hollywood, CA.

The Maserati looks stunning in its original Bordeaux Pontevecchio Metallic paint with brilliant shine and luster. The painted twenty-inch, staggered wheels look great against the darker body and complement the brightwork well. To keep this beautiful finish looking great, the previous owner had a clear vinyl installed on many of the body panels. We did note a scratch on three spokes of the passenger front wheel that only becomes apparent when looking closely. Upon inspection, we also noted some curb rash on both sides of the front clip. Neither of these detract from the overall aesthetic appearance of this Italian grand tourer.

The interior of this GranTurismo S is as close to showroom new as you’ll find. The lovely Sabbia (Italian for Sand) color is equal parts performance and sophistication. The “drilled” leather seats were a factory option with the Trident headrests. They are 10-way power and heated in the front and appear as new. The rear seats are equally appointed and in pristine condition. The cabin is spacious for a coupe body style and would be more than suitable for long drives. The optional Black leather and Wood steering wheel is gorgeous with paddle shifters adorning the rear sides of the wheel.

Mechanically, this Maserati has all the ingredients of a high-performance sports car. The 4.7L motor was jointly developed by Ferrari and Maserati, and produced by Ferrari for the GranTurismo S. The result is a 440 horsepower engine that has the beloved Ferrari exhaust note. This Maserati comes equipped with Sport mode and the Skyhook electronic suspension dampening system to dial in your driving experience. The drilled rotors help stop this coupe quickly, should you need it.

Included in the sale are a soft touch car cover, owner’s manual, original window sticker, and Maserati branded battery tender.
