Frank, ....almost nobody cares here about VIN and/or the history of classic Maserati GTs. This is what I have. AM109.S.033 1964, blue/tan. a/c., hardtop, internal-engine no.: 2298 sold new in Germany to Hubertus Liebrecht via the well-known German dealer Auto-König in Munich. As a relatively early Mistral Spider, this car is among just 12 that were built with the last few 3.5-liter engines from the outgoing 3500 GT. Herr Liebrecht, whose family owned the major pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim, specified several options for his Spider, including the strikingly proportioned removable hardtop, which features tapered sail panels that extend past the rear window, achieving a distinctive integrated look. Originally finished in Bleu Sera with Connolly leather upholstery, the Spider was further specified with Borrani wire wheels, air-conditioning, a dash-mounted grab handle for the passenger and modified, custom seats. After approximately four years, the Maserati was sold to its second owner, Werner Pohl of Waldkraiburg, Germany. Nov. 1964 to Werner Pohl -Waldkraiburg/Germany, via AUTO KOENIG -Munich/Germany 1989-2002 with Hans Huwyler -Spartanburg.SC./USA, restored, re-painted red/l.-tan 2013 located in NC, long time storage! 20-21 Jan. 2017 GOODING & CO auction –Scottsdale, AZ, USA
