AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Maserati Merak SS, a rare 1 of 787 produced, features a recently rebuilt V6 engine and a five-speed manual transaxle. It has been repainted red and comes with desirable options like air conditioning and Connolly leather interior, though mileage is unknown and it has undergone various refurbishments and replacements over the years.
Condition
7
The car has undergone a refurbishment in the 2000s, including an engine rebuild in 2002, and was repainted in 2022. The selling dealer also reports that work was done on the left quarter panel and door frame, and that pop-up headlight covers and one crossmember were replaced. The wheels were powder-coated in 2022, and new tires were fitted in 2017/2018. While mechanicals appear to have been addressed, cosmetic work has been performed, suggesting it's in very good condition with some areas needing attention. The condition falls under 'Very Good' as it has slight wear visible in some areas and requires minor reconditioning.
