1973 Maserati Bora 4.9

Overview:
Offered here is a 1973 Maserati Bora 4.9 finished in striking “Rosso Fuoco,” a rare mid-engine Italian Grand Tourer that embodies the bold styling and refined engineering of Maserati in the 1970s. Originally supplied new in Miami, Florida, this Bora has had just three owners and presents a fully restored example of Maserati’s iconic V8-powered supercar. Combining sleek design, a luxurious interior, and exhilarating performance, this Bora represents a remarkable opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Exterior:
The Bora’s wedge-shaped Pininfarina design remains one of the most elegant mid-engine silhouettes of the era. This example underwent a complete restoration in recent years, with bodywork and chassis returned to top-quality condition. Panels are thin and precisely aligned, and all brightwork—including window frames and stainless-steel roof—fits flawlessly. The Rosso Fuoco finish contrasts beautifully with the stainless-steel roof, while the correct Campagnolo alloy wheels, with their polished stainless centers, complete the car’s authentic 1970s aesthetic.

Interior:
Inside, the Bora combines luxury and functionality in true Maserati fashion. The cabin has been meticulously refurbished with light-colored carpets and supple Connolly leather in Maserati Avorio, capturing the flair of the 1970s while remaining highly inviting. Adjustable steering column and pedal box allow drivers to tailor their position perfectly, enhancing the Bora’s long-distance touring capability. The seats are supremely comfortable, and interior appointments retain that period-correct elegance for which Maserati is renowned.

Mechanical:
This Bora is powered by a 4.9-liter V8 producing 320 PS at 5,500 rpm and 454 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, paired with a five-speed ZF manual transmission. Maserati increased the bore from 4.7 to 4.9 liters to meet stricter U.S. exhaust standards, resulting in improved performance while preserving the car’s signature V8 character. The engine has been maintained meticulously, running smoothly with strong throttle response and the unmistakable Maserati exhaust note. Handling is secure and precise, delivering a rare blend of Grand Touring comfort and sports-car agility.

Ownership and Mileage:
This Bora has been in the hands of three owners since new and carries 55,000 miles. Its documented maintenance history reflects careful, consistent attention and an investment in a comprehensive restoration that ensures both drivability and collector-level presentation.

Significance:
The Maserati Bora remains a defining example of 1970s Italian automotive design, blending exotic style with genuine Grand Touring practicality. Its mid-engine layout, luxurious interior, and V8 performance make it one of the most desirable Maserati models for collectors seeking a classic that is as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire.
