The Maserati 3500 GT Spyder by Vignale.
The Maserati 3500 GT Spyder chassis AM101/109.001 is a one-off masterpiece crafted by Carrozzeria Vignale. In 1964, Vignale proposed and advertised a sleek, updated version of the Maserati 3500GT, producing only this single example. The chassis was sent to Vignale and completed in January 1965, with the bespoke body commissioned for Giuseppe Simini of Milan, Italy, who took delivery on July 1, 1965. This unique vehicle has been part of the Rick Grant Collection since 1976, acquired at a Kruse auction in Cincinnati for $10,000.
The story of Carrozzeria Vignale represents one of the many somewhat forgotten success stories born against the backdrop of an Italy that was torn apart by the Second World War and which, starting from the end of the 1950s, was able to recover enough to know a real miracle. economical just a few years later.
