1966 Maserati Mexico 4.7 Coupe by Vignale

This very early and numbers-matching Mexico is confirmed by Maserati Classiche as the 13th example built, completed on 2 November 1966. It is one of 485 produced, of which only 175 were equipped with the 290 hp 4.7-liter DOHC V-8. Maserati Classiche reports that the first owner sold the car to another gentleman in Milan, and the existing front license plate MI F 59819 corresponds with the second registration of the car. It has been in the current owner’s possession in California for 15 years. As a running and driving example, it was sent to Mike Wilson Restorations in Visalia, California, during which time the car was disassembled and the engine sent out to be rebuilt, including the four original twin-throat 38 DCNL5 Weber carburetors. In addition, the dash and interior wood trim were restored, and the car was stripped down to bare metal, repainted, and reassembled.
