With the 3500 GT, Maserati presented a pure road sports car for the first time in 1957. Initially it was only available as a coup\u00e9, and from 1960 also as a Spider. In total, production up to 1966 comprised only 245 Spiders built at Vignale and 1,972 coup\u00e9s from Touring, around 40 of which had the steering wheel on the right-hand side. In addition to the versions offered ex works, there were some special bodies from Allemano, Bertone, Boneschi, Frua, Moretti<\/a><\/strong> and Pininfarina. Much less well known, however, was a one-off from Scaglietti, which car fans would normally know more for Ferrari bodies. This vehicle will soon go under the hammer at the online auction house Car & Classic. This offers a good opportunity to take a closer look at this rarity. The basis for the conversion was a 3500 GT with right-hand drive first delivered in South Africa in 1964. Already in the following year, the body conversion took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scalco used a Scaglietti bodywork<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This extensive work over a ten-month period took place in South Africa, but was carried out by a well-trained Italian coachbuilder named Pierino Scalco. All major body parts were imported, having been previously manufactured by Scaglietti. The unique coup\u00e9 has nothing in common with the base car. At the front there is a chrome radiator grille with auxiliary lights, headlights hidden behind clear glass covers and an air scoop on the hood. Behind the front wheels are two rows of three air outlets each. The roof line and rear end are reminiscent of various Ferrari and some Aston Martin models. Spoked wheels and dark red paint round off the design. The interior retains the dashboard with Jaeger instruments and the four leather-covered seats of the 3500 GT. Added to this is a three-spoke sports steering wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n
