Engine
3.5L inline-six, Weber carburettor setup, tuned for road use

Chassis AM101*998 is a Maserati 3500 GT coupé bodied by Carrozzeria Touring in the Superleggera method, believed to have been delivered new to the United States as one of the final examples completed in 1960. Equipped with Weber carburettors, it is documented through Maserati ownership registries as having passed through the hands of noted American collectors before a comprehensive restoration in Connecticut that addressed the engine, brakes, suspension, and interior. It subsequently moved to the United Kingdom in 2020.

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.
