The Maserati Ghibli, chassis 180, is a 1967 fastback grand tourer bodied by Giorgetto Giugiaro and powered by a numbers-matching 4.7-litre twin-cam V-8. Ordered by Brussels dealer François Staumont for display at the 1968 Brussels Motor Show, it was delivered in late December 1967 finished in Celeste Chiaro over blue leather. The car passed through several Belgian and Dutch owners before a comprehensive restoration by Roda Classica in Portugal circa 2016, which included bodywork, a correct repaint, and a full drivetrain rebuild.
