AM115/49 1786roadItaly
Engine
4.9L DOHC 90-degree V8 with four Weber carburetors, 335 bhp
Colour
Beige

A 1970 Maserati Ghibli SS coupe powered by the enlarged 4,930 cc V-8 producing 335 bhp, finished in a rare original beige exterior with a complementary interior. One of the rarer and more sought-after variants of the model, it was imported new to the United States from Milan and spent its first 38 years with a single New Jersey owner, accumulating modest annual mileage. Subsequent custodians commissioned a full repaint to the original colour, interior renewal, and comprehensive servicing.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
