1969 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Coupé “With a world-famous first owner”

Taste is, of course, a matter of personal preference. But ask any enthusiast to name the finest grand tourers of the 1960s, and chances are the Maserati Ghibli will be among the first to be mentioned. Quite honestly, we completely understand why. Giorgetto Giugiaro penned a coupe with an impossibly long hood, a low-slung roofline, and proportions that remain every bit as captivating more than half a century later.

When the Ghibli was unveiled in 1966, Maserati positioned it as a luxurious Gran Turismo with genuinely serious performance credentials. Beneath its long hood lay a 4.7-liter V8 driving the rear wheels, delivering performance that allowed the Ghibli to compete effortlessly with the finest Italian GT cars of its era. Yet what truly set it apart was the way it delivered that performance. Never nervous or theatrical, but with the effortless composure one expects from a true grand tourer.

The example we are offering is a car you understand the moment you walk around it. This is not a fully restored showpiece, but rather a Ghibli that has always been carefully preserved, has retained its authentic character, and above all invites you to drive it. Exactly as a Gran Turismo was always intended to be enjoyed.

Finished in Longchamp Gold, this Maserati possesses a color that suits the design beautifully. It has often been said that the name refers to divinity. Whether that is truly the case we will happily leave open to interpretation. What is undeniable, however, is that Longchamp Gold highlights the elegant lines of the Ghibli to perfection. Paired with a beige Connolly leather interior, it creates a timeless and exceptionally tasteful combination.

According to marque specialists, this was once the personal Ghibli of Ricardo Baliardo—an intriguing chapter in the car's history. And while we are speaking of notable names, it is worth mentioning that Jean-Paul Belmondo also famously owned a Maserati Ghibli. Perhaps that does not tell the whole story of the car, but it certainly complements the image the Ghibli has cultivated over the decades.

This Maserati was delivered new in Italy and benefits from a well-documented and carefully preserved history. It spent many years as part of a French collection and is offered with an extensive documentation file, including invoices, an appraisal report, and the original owner's manual. It is also listed in the official Maserati Ghibli Register.

An honest Ghibli, beautifully preserved and displaying just the right amount of patina to encourage you to take the wheel without hesitation. Not a car to worry about every stone on the road, but one that was built to cover great distances in style. In truth, that is exactly how we believe a Maserati Ghibli should be. We would be delighted to welcome you to admire this exceptional Maserati in person. Interested? Please contact us for further information.
