Maserati 3500 GT Submodels
The Maserati 3500 GT marked the company's successful entry into series production grand touring cars. Debuting in 1957, it featured a 3.5-liter inline-6 derived from the 350S race car, wrapped in elegant bodywork by Carrozzeria Touring. It was a fast, luxurious GT that established Maserati as a direct competitor to Ferrari's road cars, with later models offering Lucas fuel injection and four-wheel disc brakes.
Collectors prize the 3500 GT for its blend of racing pedigree and sophisticated style. Its Touring Superleggera construction, while beautiful, makes restoration complex. Vignale-bodied Spyders are significantly rarer and command a substantial premium over the coupes. It’s an icon of the Dolce Vita era, offering a quintessential 1960s Italian driving experience.
The market for the 3500 GT is well-established, with a wide price gap between project cars and perfectly restored examples. The average price sits just over $228,000, but sales data shows a vast range. Coupes are more accessible, while Spyders and cars with rare specifications or exceptional provenance occupy the top of the market.
Buying Tips
- The Superleggera construction features an aluminum body over a steel tube frame. Inspect carefully for galvanic corrosion where the two metals meet, especially in the sills and floorpans.
- The twin-cam inline-6 is durable but expensive to rebuild. Check for oil leaks and listen for timing chain noise. The Lucas mechanical fuel injection on GTi models can be complex to tune correctly.
- Verify engine and chassis numbers. Missing original parts like trim, gauges, and switchgear are extremely difficult to source.
- Early cars used drum brakes, which are less effective than the disc brakes offered from 1959. Confirm the braking system's condition.
Prices range from $78,000 for project cars to $710,000 for top-spec examples.
