This 1967 Maserati Mistral 4.0L Coupe was delivered new through Max-Gil S.r.l. on February 2, 1967 to Mr. Sergio Tassi of Bologna, Italy, originally optioned in Verde Bosco (Dark Green) over Senape (Tan) Connolly leather with a rear defroster and chrome Borrani wire wheels. Powered by its original fuel-injected 4.0L twin spark inline-six and 5-speed ZF manual gearbox, the car later made its way to the American Midwest after being repainted red. It was acquired in 1994 by its previous owner and stored from the mid-2000s until late 2016, when it was uncovered and treated to a major service as detailed below. This Mistral is now offered by the selling dealer with Maserati Classiche documentation, recent service receipts, and a clean Texas title.

828 Mistral Coupés were produced from 1963-1970 and featured coachwork by Frua. The Mistral was introduced as the replacement for the outgoing Maserati 3500 GT. This car (chassis #11158) has 80,833 kilometers (~50k miles) and was ordered on December 10, 1966 and completed in January 1967. It is now described to be in nice driver-level condition. The paint exhibits a number of small flaws, particularly on the passenger’s door, as well as a crack on the front left fender. There is also body filler evident on that same fender which the seller has highlighted in the photo gallery below. Some areas of the car still show the factory Verde Bosco finish.

After being found in a garage parked alongside a Ferrari 328, the car was given new Michelin XWX tires and the braking system was renewed with rebuilds of the calipers, boosters, and the master cylinder, as well as new hoses and pads. The car still retains a mid-1970s Automobile Club of Italy window decal, its factory jack in a bag, hammer, and matching Boranni spare.

Inside, the Connolly leather appears to have been restored at some point in the past per the seller. Factory trim and switchgear look to be present. An aftermarket Blaupunkt amplifier and equalizer have been fitted as shown in the photo gallery. The odometer currently displays 80,833 kilometers (~50k miles) and is believed correct based on known history.

This Mistral is powered by a twin spark 4.0L DOHC inline-six, which is paired to a ZF 5-speed manual gearbox and retains its Lucas fuel injection system. Services since being taken out of storage include replacing the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, spark plugs and wires, cap and rotor, routing tube, both coils, points, all fluids, and all filters. The water pump was restored by the specialists at Flying Dutchman, and all coolant hoses were also replaced.

A compression check was recently performed, showing 175, 180, 170, 175, 175, and 170 psi in each cylinder respectively. The fuel injection system is said to stumble when cold and should likely be rebuilt. Additionally, the magnetic system for the radiator fan clutch does not work. According to the seller, the car runs well once warm and shifts smoothly through all gears.

Engine #AM109 A1 *1158* can be seen above and is confirmed as original by the Maserati Certificate of Origin.

The underside has thick undercoating and the original floors are said to be present with some corrosion repair and patches found along the edges behind the rocker panels. Minor corrosion is also shown on the bottom of the battery tray in pictures. The frame appears to be solid and straight per the seller.

The Certificate of Origin states that all chassis, engine, and body numbers are matching. Additional Classiche documents include the Purchase Order, Historical Information, Final Tests Data Sheet, Technical & Aesthetic Characteristics, End of Line Data Sheet, and Delivery Note. The seller has provided pictures of all documentation in addition to the chassis and engine stampings in the gallery. A video of this car can be seen below:
