1969 Maserati Ghibli - The Resurection
Discussion
I've just read this thread from start to finish, and it is epic!
Thanks for posting it OP, it's inspirational.
Bookmarked now, along with the thread started by "The Surveyor" - I've always loved Maseratis! Maybe because they were generally regarded as the "underdogs" in a world of Ferraris and latterly Lambos!
I'm glad you went with the original colour for the paint, although I realise it is your choice as it's your car - but it does look great!
Now I just can't wait for the next instalment!

Well, i have some Ghibli news.....
After searching since at least pre 1985, for my Late Dads Ghibli, late on Sunday eve i finally found it.
I spent the whole of Monday in a complete daze, as the memories, some good, some simply terrible, came flooding back. I have spoken at length with the seller, he sounds a really great guy. I still have most of the cars early paper work. Hoping to get to see it and re unite the car with its papers.
Very sadly, Ghibli values have risen considerably over the years and are beyond me now. I have a customer, who is thinking about it, but if anyone is seriously looking for an early Ghibli, that needs some tlc, then please PM me.

Hallelujah! Genuinely excited to hear progress is being made. This is my favourite build story on PH. The interest this thread continues to generate still amazes me.

OP - just to say, I think Photobucket have relented and old links are working again. New broom.
In terms of new 3rd party links, the options appear to be - pay Photobucket's new monthly hosting fee of $4.48 or to switch to site like CubeUpload.com or VGY.me (though I haven't tested either of these on PH).

Thanks Chad. I have spoken to the seller several times this week and i am very hopeful that a buyer for it can be found in England. It turns out that it was shipped back to Europe from America, in Jan 1991. ( It was collected from the factory by its first owner in late 1967 and shipped straight to Pensylevania. In 1970, he added a new white Hemi Challenger to his stable ( which my Late Dad bought in 1972 )
I may have missed this, but have you got your Ghiblis first owner and supplying dealer details and build details, from Fabio the Factory Archivist yet ?
