Introduced in 1957, the Maserati 3500 GT became the marque’s first successful entry into the grand touring market. The car showcased Carrozzeria Touring’s alloy bodywork and signature Superleggera construction, as well as a 3.5-liter inline-six derived from the championship-winning Tipo 250F Formula 1 car. In 1962, the model was further developed into the 3500 GTi, featuring increased power output, a 5-speed manual transmission, and revised styling. This 1963 Maserati 3500 GTi is finished in silver over red leather upholstery and was originally built in July 1962 before being delivered new in Milan, Italy, on July 25th of that year. Acquired by the seller from its previous owner in Long Lake, Michigan, this GTi is now being offered for auction out of Florida.

Retaining its predecessor’s Carrozzeria Touring-designed Superleggera coachwork, the GTi variant introduced subtle yet distinctive updates including a slightly longer wheelbase, a lowered roofline, a slimmer chrome grille surround, rectangular front indicators, revised quarter windows, and taillight assemblies with three separate lenses. This example is finished in silver and rides aftermarket Borrani wire-spoke wheels with Pirelli tires from 2012 with 75% tread remaining. The seller notes a small imperfection on the nose, a spot repair was performed on the decklid, and a minor dent repair on the fender was carried out under prior ownership in 2011. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The 2+2 cabin is trimmed in red leather upholstery covering the seats and door panels, contrasted by a black dashboard, instrument panel, and carpeting. A black-finished three-spoke steering wheel fronts Veglia instrumentation with chrome bezels, including a 240-km/h speedometer, 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. Additional interior features include chrome interior door handles, vent windows, toggle switchgear, and a floor-mounted gear selector.
Power is provided by a 3.5-liter inline-six engine, which features Weber carburetors in place of the Lucas fuel injection installed under prior ownership. Derived from the Maserati 350S, the engine features an aluminum block and cylinder head, dual overhead camshafts, hemispherical combustion chambers, mechanical Marelli ignition, dual ignition, and dual fuel pumps. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a ZF 5-speed manual transmission paired with a limited-slip differential. The seller states the muffler has a small hole, resulting in a minor leak.
This sale will include a clean title, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a Viale Ciro Menotti Issue 105 magazine.
The seller would like you to know: “This is a stunning example of the Maserati 3500 GTI. The future owner will very much enjoy this car! It comes with a magazine called Viale Ciro Menotti issue 105 in which this very car was featured.”
