First things first: Happy 100 Year Anniversary Maserati!!!!!!!  Now, here's a very interesting Maserati for sale.  A 1975 Maserati Merak AM122-2182, with customization by Steering Wheel Inc. in South Florida circa. 1975.  This particular car was delivered new to the US in 1975, and had it's roof customized by Tom Clark Sr. the owner of SWI.    The book this car is documented in is on page 222 of "The Maserati Road Cars, Post war production cars 1946-1979 by Richard Crump/Rob de la Rive Box".The strengthening of the chassis was done at the sills, the windscreen pillars were gusseted on the seams (see book photograph, main picture). This part of the roof work was done by local company, Trust Manufacturing Co.  It came with a blue interior originally, which has since been changed to the current caramel hides you see today.  It is in driver condition, with many documents and receipts for work done in the past 30+ years.  With her original Campagnolo wheels, she has had 1 re-paint (by Gene Winfield btw for you SoCal hot rod nuts), in 1982, major services (hydraulics/clutch) in 2003 and 2008, and remains largely original with 76,830 miles showing.  The paint is not perfect, nor is it a show car, but more of a "good ol' nail of a driver" (as my friend says).  The car has been a Florida (1975-1977) and California (1977-present) car it's entire life.   She starts right up, idles fine, clutch is tight, brakes are good, shifts are fine.  Some areas of attention are as follows. -All of the hydraulic lights on the dash work, and gauges (except noted gas gauge) Known "issues": -A/C car, but currently non-functional,  fan motor and defrost etc. run though -Windshield wipers are off currently -Targa rubber trim will need replacement soon -Crack rear flying buttress (picture) -Crack front bumper (picture) -Floor "carpets" are literally that, no mats -Chip in hood above Trident (picture) -Hood latch is not working properly (hence the "ajar" look of the fitment per pictures) -Driver window is slow going up/down -Gas gauge is not working -antenna comes with, but not attached currently (the radio turns on/off) Comes with: -Two keys - Extra seat belts (gray) -Green Goo Hydraulic fluid - Jack - Lug tool - (2) Custom plexi-targa tops  come with the car (kept breaking the glass 1974 Monte Carlo Hurst tops, so there's only (1) glass t top included) -If you need more information or pictures, please let me know I'll do my best.  Car is located in Roseville, CA at my best friends shop. -Please call if you wish to discuss, Ken @ 203-770-0839 CT USA -It has nicks, imperfections and some small areas of surface rust here and there.  I have tried to take as many good, informative pictures as possible, if there is any area left out, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.  To those seriously interested parties, I have a DropBox with all of the papers/documentation uploaded I can send if interested in looking through it.  Also, please note, if you would like more information about this cars history, I have made contact with Tom Clark Jr. in Florida, and he would be willing to discuss the car with prospective, serious individuals.  If you saw the 1975 Merak sell @ Auctions America a few weeks back, you know that the values on these cars have increased.  My reserve is respectful to the condition of the vehicle, and far below what the auction car sold for...Happy Bidding, someone's going to really enjoy this mid-engined car... href="http://s1242.photobucket.com/user/ksargavakian/media/1975%20Maserati%20Merak/JoeAlves1975maseratimerak094.jpg.html" target="_blank"> -Shipping is 100% the buyers responsibility, though we will do as much as possible to help.
