The Maserati Sebring was introduced in 1962, and the production series would last through 1968. The name was inspired by Maserati’s win at 12 Hours of Sebring in 1957. This car was designed to target the ever growing American sports car market. The first Sebring that they would build would be called a Series I. It had the ability to accelerate to 60-mph in under 9 seconds; and was available with an automatic transmission.

In 1965, the Sebring Series II was introduced with some new styling seen throughout the aesthetics of the car. It is believed that no more than 446 Sebring Coupés were built from 1962 to 1967, with 348 being Series I Tipo AM101/Ses and 98 being Series II Tipo AM101/10s. By the end of its run, engine displacement had grown to 3.7-litres and then 4.0 (Tipo AM 106/1).

The restoration on this Sebring has been started by the current owner. The DOHC inline six-cylinder engine and drivetrain appear to be complete but not restored. The blue paint on the car has been finished. The chrome on the body appears to have been attended to and shows well. The dash is complete with gauges that are in good condition along with the accessory switches and radio. The car comes with the driver side and passenger side windows; miscellaneous trim and an assortment of parts for the car. This does include unrestored interior components.

This Sebring is a worthy candidate for finishing the restoration that has already been started. With the rise in popularity combined with the rarity of this sports car, it is sure to please the next owner.
