Colour: Gold ('Oro Kelso')

Maserati Ghibli SS chassis 2372, completed in July 1972 and finished in Oro Kelso gold over black Connolly leather, is a numbers-matching 4.9-litre example of the most potent variant of the Ghibli range. Delivered new to a New York dealer and sold in early 1974, it spent much of its early life on Long Island. A comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration was undertaken in Italy in 2013, returning the car to factory specification. Maserati Classiche documentation confirms originality of chassis, engine, and body.
