This is a properly equipped Indy as it includes 4.7Litre Engine, Power Steering, Air Conditioning, and 5-Speed Gearbox. It is an absolute delight to drive. The Indy was Maserati's replacement for the Mexico and served as the 2+2 counterpart to the Ghibli. The Indy was also Maserati's most popular selling car when it was in production.
I have been a collector of Maserati Automobiles since the mid-1980's when I acquired a pair of 3500GTI Vignale Cabriolets and have owned virtually every model of Maserati GT cars. I am 6'7 tall and have found Maserati's to be exceedingly comfortable for me (Wilt Chamberlain owned a Ghibli when they were new). And, the Indy is by far the most comfortable of them all.
I purchased the car in 2002. The prior owner acquired the car in 1994 from Continental Motors. When he bought the
car in 1994, it had 96, 000km (59, 520mi) – now has 101, 500km (62, 930mi). I also note from the
Continental Motors Invoice that the car was described as Brown with Biege(sic)
Interior. The person I purchase the car from had the car painted French blue and also
had the leather died in the current red color. I purchased this car in order to have a driver since I
knew that I would not be able to work on my other Maserati’s for a few years
while I was building and growing our business. I used this car regularly
for 8 years and then parked it for the past 5 years.
I just had the hood frame and sheet metal re-fabricated and painted as it had typical corrosion issues. Also just replaced both
fuel pumps and performed some other needed maintenance. The
original bi-metal Borrani wheels have just been powder-coated and a set of new Vredestein
tires were installed. I drove the car Sunday for the first time in 5 years and it
performed very well. I look forward to driving it to New Glarus, WI this weekend.
The car runs strong and does not smoke but for as
long as I have owned this car, I’ve felt that it could use a superficial engine renewal
(just hard to justify it when it runs so well) because it does seem to have a
bit more engine blow-by than I’m used to.
I actually really enjoy the Indy’s because they are truly
comfortable and great road cars. I would have never thought to paint an
Italian car French Blue but in reality – the car really pops.
