Listing Description

Take a look at this gorgeous 1973 Maserati Bora for sale. Rear engine 2 door coupe. This is Maserati\'s first example of a rear engine car that only 275 were produced. Back in 1993 this car went through just short of a rotisserie restoration. With just 30,727 original miles it was a perfect candidate for a freshen up. The numbers matching motor and transmission were removed in order to disassemble, inspect, repair/ rebuild/ reseal and reinstall. Since of the low miles these components were just in the need of a light rebuild. The block was boiled, honed, inspected and checked for evenness across the line boar and deck. The pistons and rods were reconditioned as well as the crankshaft was machined .010 on the rods and .010 on the mains. The cylinder heads had a three angle valve job and were assembled with new stainless steel valves and components. A new high volume oil pump was installed along with new timing chain assembly. The rest of the motors internal parts were either replace or reconditioned. Then assembled with a new set of gaskets and bolted to the rebuilt Z-F five speed transmission and reinstalled with a new clutch assembly. When this work was done the water pump, alternator, starter, fuel pump and bolt on accessories were rebuilt or replaced. The four Weber down draft carburetors were rebuilt along with the distributor. Simultaneously the body had some occasional small chips, scratches and dings that needed to be addressed. It was then sanded, primered and prepped for paint. Refinished in the original red paint and lightly wet sanded/ buff to match the original finish was a must to keep the originality and integrity of the car. The front/ rear brakes had some attention as well as the front and rear suspension. Any component that was warn or close to it tolerance was rebuilt or replaced. The interior had a minor face lift to. New seat upholstery and carpet were replaced and the rest or the interior was cleaned. The glass is original to the car.Doors: 2
