    More. Even the box from a NOS injected biturbo intercooler has style. Big thanks to AW auto parts for hanging onto this random item

    Photo of Fangio in the 300S #3069 in the Rio de Janeiro GP, Dec. 1957.
    The photo is signed by him on that day.

    Those are fabulous ty! wow

    I often wonder of all the variants of Trident we see on various racing car grills who fashioned them. Must have been the coach builders own interpretation, which I love. So unique, more so than Ferrari as the cavallino always looks just about the same.

    My latest find. Appear to be late 60s? I have been told the signs with raised letter and trident are late 60s but can’t be sure? Anyone know?

    Finally found a keychain fob I like. I was told this is a 70s vintage fob from a dealer in France. Cannot confirm for certain but it certainly looks old

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Here’s some interesting art, as I see it.

    The original nose section from a Maserati 300S “short nose” that was in a shunt years ago.

    I cobbled together the grill, headlight and trident from spares I had I’m my shop….I know it’s not “correct”, but it’s an interesting conversation piece!

    I’m honestly honored to have it!

    Hope some of you gentlemen like it.

    I know many members here have interesting Maserati related “gems” in their garage/shed/warehouse etc., please consider posting something.

    It might help garner some interest with the younger ones, which we need to continue the interest in Maserati history!

    Just a thought…I’m sure Ivan, FGM, Bob, or Chris Rose gotta have some interesting things…????

    Chassis #3058, the ex-Parravano car. At that time of the photos owned by Monsieur Chambon from France.
    Now located and owned in one of the best private race car collections in Europe.

    That is a fabulous bit to hold on to. There is only one original metal and it is priceless to the history of the car it came from IMO, I am somewhat surprised they did not insist on keeping it!

    Yes. All 300S were made by Fantuzzi.

    Dealer road sign from Elan Motors in Atlanta. They sold a bunch of Biturbos in the 1980s .... and then went out of business.

    I keep these late Merak SS US spec headers as a gentle reminder of how bad things were for these cars when emissions equipment strangled these engines.

    They either make you laugh or cry, or perhaps both.

    Maserati had bottles of prosecco in Monterey to announce the return to the USA market; after being absent for 10 years. The contents of the bottle was consumed that day :)

    Very cool, but 10 is quite a strange number for a box of spark plugs!
