1963 Maserati 355 GT Sebring
Grigio with Black Leather and Blue carpeting, 3.5 liter straight 6-cylinder engine, 5-Speed ZF manual transmission, Styled by Giovanni Michelotti at Vignale, Rare 1 of 348 Series 1 cars, Award winning restoration, Matching Numbers, Collector-owned and maintained.
With success of the 3500 GT, Maserati released an updated version in 1963 now called the Sebring, with homage from their 1957 racing victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring. The Sebring was built on the short-wheelbase chassis of the 3500 Spyder and therefore subsequently styled by Vignale. The 5-speed gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes and fuel injection were now all standard equipment.
During its most recent previous ownership, the original engine was completely rebuilt by well-known marque specialists. At this time, the Lucas fuel injection system was removed and this Sebring received a triple Weber carburetors conversion for ease of maintenance, the recently rebuilt Lucas fuel injection is included with the car.
This Sebring has been superbly restored and retains its original numbers matching engine. With its most recent long-term custodian it was housed in a large collection of all Italian cars and has always been prepped for immediate use and enjoyment and maintained regardless of use.
