maserati mexico for sale

Here is a pretty rare Maserati Mexico that was bought brand new from the Maserati plant in Italy by a dear friend of mine who later imported the car here in the US. Although this Mexico is in need of complete restoration it is indeed a 1 owner car with even 600 number VIN. This is a matching engine chassis number car with its original 4.2 liter V8 engine manual transmission, disc brakes all around. This Mexico was also equipped with A/C which I do have the compressor. The car was rearended in the past, it was taken apart many years ago and never really put together until partially a few months ago. Eventhough this is a California car it has major rust issues that need to be addressed. This Mexico comes with 2 large baskets full of its own parts. The vast majority of parts are there, 4 weber carburetors, air cleaner, instruments and commands, the original and very complete Becker Europa II radio is also there, the complete set of 5 Borrani wire wheels, the original jack, headlights etc are all included and nicely put inside the baskets.

Please keep in mind that this car has heavy rust issues throughout its entire body. I try to emphasize that since I am one of those people who hates rust wtih passion. The floor pans are there, not falling down although there is a large amount of rust. Roof, trunk, front fenders and I am sure several other parts not visible to the naked eye . I will try to update the auction with other info if any. Email me if any specific questions.

    This would be a fantastic, stand alone, PCH candidate.

    Other than rat-rodders who want a little surface rust instead of paint, who doesn't hate rust with a passion?

    I've always wanted a car that generally comes in neatly arranged boxes…….

    If this was an old Ghibli or Bora, I'd say go for it. You'd have to REALLY love this car to put the work (and money) into it for a restoration, because it's not considered a particularly desirable Maser and you'll never get back the money/effort.

    At some point in the next 5-10 having a car in boxes is a life a goal……or 2.5 cars in boxes.
    A further goal within that 5-10 is to actually put it back together.
    And congrats on owning those KVs, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I saw the drive system a few months ago on clunkbucket.

      Thanks! The KVs are a hoot. One last warning on the "car in boxes" approach, though: Mine was disassembled in the early 1970s; I bought it in the late 1980s and have been accumulating and rearranging parts ever since. It's what some people might call a long-term project. A few friends and family members (okay, most) (okay, okay, nearly all) have employed less charitable terms, though.

    Careful– I imagine a lot of people here can offer you one of those. I know I've got one, though at this point it's more like two and a half when all the pieces are gathered together. No guarantees on the neatness of some of the boxes.

    Lemons candidate? This looks like a bad idea in every language I know. But it is a reasonably attractive clapped out heap of shit.

    You'd never get this up to Concours level and you'd never keep this around as an investment, but this would make a very, very sweet cruiser if brought back into reasonable shape. I doubt I'm in the minority here by saying this, but vintage 60's Italian iron should NEVER go to waste…no matter what the marque snobs think.

    This is what I was thinking.
    Toss in a decent set of touring seats. Fix what's broken, remove what's non-essential. Patch the metal best you can. Add primer and/or thinned out house paint as needed.

      That. Is. AWESOME. Oh man, the possibilities. I'm so not worried about painting the '88 that day in the future when it finally makes sense.
      But I'm also thinking this will be GREAT for the Model A if need be.

    Two words: Spray-on. Bedliner. Okay, that was actually three (four?), but my point remains the same.

    Maybe on a 4×4, but not on a car.

    It's in such bad shape, I'm tempted to say "Kill it with fire", but I'd venture that another few months in the Cali sun will take care of it through natural processes.
    It looks like a fun project to teach a kid on, though. Good thing I'm not in CA, and he wants $3k for it. Might be tempting, otherwise.

    Thinned out house paint? Is that for irony, or is there some sort of actual benefit to this? I'm genuinely intrigued…
