Maserati Project Car is Here
I just took delivery of my newest project car today and wanted to share it with my Rennlist buddies. It is a 1959 Maserati 3500 GT. The first few pictures are of it sitting in my brother's garage, where it has been buried for the past 30 years. The second to last picture is after a quick bath (on the tow truck), before it went into my garage. It cleaned up pretty good, with no significant corrosion anywhere. I am a little overwhelmed at this point. It is going to be different than any of my previous projects.

Must be excited and reminds me of my 57 jag regarding finding parts. Wonder if the lighter works? GL looks like a beauty.

Sweet Mark. I hope the engine is salvageable after sitting that long.
