General description :
1970 Maserati Mexico 4.7 Coupe by Vignale: Original Matching Numbers Barn-FindThis 1970 Maserati Mexico 4.7 Liter Coupe is an excellent original matching numbers car ready for straightforward restoration. Blue with ivory interior. This is one of just 485 Mexicos produced from 1966 to 1973, including only 175 equipped with Maseratis 290-hp 4.7-liter DOHC V-8 engine. This rare example has been in storage since 1987 and will require reconditioning prior to being put back into regular service. Before its lengthy slumber, the Mexico was being used as a daily driver. Finished in medium blue with a white leather interior, the odometer reads 73,237 kilometers, which is likely original. It is equipped with a ZF five-speed manual transmission, chrome wire wheels, air conditioning, Jensen AM/FM stereo radio with cassette, air horn, power windows, clock, and rear window defogger. The car was repainted some time prior to being put in storage, and today it displays some pitting and cracking. The body is solid and straight, and it appears that all trim and mechanical components are intact. This Maserati represents a wonderful opportunity for its next loving caretaker.

About Maserati
Maserati, the epitome of Italy's finest traditional luxury sports cars. Let's dive into the captivating narrative of Maserati's storied history, shall we?Act 1: The Roaring Twenties
In the heart of Bologna, Italy, Maserati was born in 1914, founded by the Maserati brothers. The roaring twenties saw Maserati establishing itself as a force in racing, capturing hearts with its precision engineering and sleek designs.
Act 2: The Trident's Triumphs
The iconic Trident logo emerged in the 1920s, symbolizing Maserati's dominance in the racing world. Models like the Tipo 26 and the 250F graced the tracks, with the latter securing Juan Manuel Fangio's Formula One World Championship in 1957.
Act 3: The Road Cars Roar (1960s-1980s)
Maserati transitioned from racetracks to the streets, introducing luxurious grand tourers. The Ghibli, a name evoking the desert wind, and the stunning Bora and Merak, with their mid-engine designs, became symbols of automotive elegance.
Production Numbers:
Ghibli (1967-1973): Approximately 1,170 units.
Bora (1971-1978): Around 524 units.
Merak (1972-1983): Approximately 1,830 units.
Act 4: Turbulence and Triumphs
The '80s brought challenges, but Maserati persisted. The Biturbo series aimed to bring the brand to a broader audience, blending performance and luxury. Amid ownership changes, Maserati's spirit endured.
Production Numbers (Biturbo Series):
Biturbo (1981-1994): Over 38,000 units.
Finale: Modern Elegance and Power
Entering the 21st century, Maserati merged tradition with modernity. The Quattroporte, GranTurismo, and Levante continued the legacy, blending Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
Maserati, with its timeless Trident emblem, stands as a testament to Italian passion for both racing and luxurious craftsmanship. Through triumphs and tribulations, Maserati has etched its name in the annals of automotive history as a symbol of style, performance, and the pursuit of perfection.
