Selling or Buying a 1968 Maserati Mistral Spyder?

The Maserati Mistral was a great successor to the iconic Maserati 3500. When the model was first introduced in 1963 for the coupe, and in 1964 for the convertible, it was well received by the public. Its beautiful design was the work of Pietro Frua who also penned the 3500, and did a wonderful job at creating a modern and elegant design, in line with the classic style of the brand. Maggiora in Turin, who used steel for the shell and aluminum for the hood, doors and trunk lid, built the body. The latest versions of the model benefited for bodywork and engine improvements. The 1968 Maserati Mistral was therefore fitted with the more powerful 4-liter unit, capable of 255 hp and a top speed over 140 mph.
