Chassis 1337 is a 1961 Maserati 3500 GT Spyder, built on 20 October 1961 and equipped from the factory with power windows, front disc brakes, Weber carburetors, and a ZF five-speed gearbox. Finished in red over tan leather with Borrani wire wheels, it represents one of the most desirable configurations of Maserati's landmark grand touring model — the car credited with steering the marque away from financial crisis toward road-car production. The example spent nearly three decades in single enthusiastic ownership before passing to its present custodian in 2010.
