Historical Context and Special Features:

The Maserati 3500 GT Sebring Series II is a particularly rare and valuable model among collectors, distinguished by several unique features:

Only 243 units of the 3500 GT Sebring Series II Coupé were produced between 1965 and 1970. This extremely low production number makes it one of the rarest Maserati vehicles, significantly contributing to its collectibility.

The Series II introduced several technical improvements:

• Availability of a larger 3.7-liter engine from the Mistral
• Option for an automatic transmission
• Possibility of air conditioning

It also received visual updates, making the car appear more modern and elegant:

• Oval-framed dual headlights
• Larger ventilation openings in the front fenders
• Horizontal, one-piece taillights
• Redesigned dashboard

With its powerful inline-six engine producing 235 HP (173 kW) and a ZF 5-speed transmission, the Sebring Series II offered the perfect combination of sportiness and comfort.

The Unique Value of the Maserati 3500 GT Sebring Series II:

For collectors, the special value arises from its rarity, technical innovations, and refined design. Current market prices are difficult to determine, as these vehicles rarely come up for sale. A restored example was valued at approximately €305,000 in 2020, with the price likely increasing since then.

The combination of limited production, technical sophistication, and elegant design makes the Maserati 3500 GT Sebring Series II a highly sought-after collector's item, whose value is expected to rise further in the future.

Special Features of This Maserati 3500 GT Sebring Series II:

This Maserati 3500 GT Sebring Series II boasts an exceptionally beautiful color combination of "Amaranto Roma" (exterior) and Conolly "Senape" (interior), giving it an extraordinary, elegant, powerful, and timeless appearance. Additionally, this specimen features three key attributes highly valued among collectors: a manual 5-speed transmission, all-around disc brakes, and the original Lucas fuel injection system (many examples have had their fuel injection replaced with carburetors due to difficulty in tuning, but in this case, it functions perfectly and reliably).

First registered in 1966, it retains the characteristics of Matching Numbers and Matching Colours (documentation available). It has been meticulously restored to preserve its original authenticity.

The history of this Maserati is almost fully documented: Originally delivered to Switzerland, it remained there for nearly 40 years before being brought to Germany. Its complete restoration (2015–2019) by Fernandes Oldtimertechnik GmbH in Hamburg, Germany, has placed it in an outstanding condition. The appraisal by Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Kukuk confirms the excellent condition, and the engine overhaul in 2023 ensures top performance, reliability, and driving pleasure for its new owner.

With a mileage history meticulously documented since at least 2007 through invoices, appraisals, and vehicle inspections, this Maserati has a verifiable history. The current odometer reading is 23,380 km – an absolute rarity for a vehicle of this class!

The Maserati Sebring 3500 GTI is more than just a classic sports car – it is a legend with prestige. In 2019, it was awarded at the Concours d'Elegance ACP Estoril in Portugal, proving its exceptional quality and authenticity.

Currently registered in Germany, a new technical inspection will be conducted after the sale. All restoration work is thoroughly documented with hundreds of images and detailed invoices.

This Maserati 3500 GT Sebring Series II is not just an investment but a statement of automotive artistry at the highest level. Secure this masterpiece – an opportunity that, due to the small number produced and even fewer remaining, is extremely rare!
