1973 Maserati Khamsin AutomaticVIN AMUS1098
Same owner in Southern California since 2006.This beautifully restored Khamsin is done in the very desirable original red with tan leather interior.The restoration was done by the previous owner to a high standard. It is now an older restoration so while it shows some signs of use, it is still in excellent overall condition.It is completely rust and corrosion free.
The interior is trimmed in tan leather at what must have been a very high cost, as leather covers nearly every surface of the interior and looks great.Upon my ownership, I did the following to make the car an excellent driver.Automatic transmission was rebuiltAll hydraulics were overhauled or serviced by Citroen and Maserati specialists.The hydraulic pump was rebuilt.The brake spheres and main sphere were rebuilt and replaced respectively.
The steering rack and speed regulator were rebuiltAll 4 Weber Carbs were rebuilt and synchronizedUpdated water pump bearing and sealGas tank was removed and cleanedRadiator was removed and cleanedUpdated water pump bearing and seal.Water pump cable replaced with solid rod jointAll new fuel hosesNew coolant hosesIncluded with the car is a custom car cover
This Maserati Khamsin runs good and is a joy to drive. The steering is very direct with only two turns lock to lock. The steering is hydraulically controlled and self centering . One of about 421 ever made for the entire world. This make is the rarest 2 seat Maserati V8 road car produced.
Compression check revealed all cylinders were between 146 and 155 PSI.
This Khamsim just came out of short term indoor storage in Southern California and may need to have the carbs cleaned and two small auxiliary hydraulic lines replaced ( operating the headlights and the seat function) as they are leaking. But otherwise, it is runs and drives as it should.
Included with the sale is the Original rear bumper and attachment hardware. Also included are mufflers to convert the car to Euro spec.
For California buyer, being a 1975 model, it is smog exempt. Later model years will need a smog check inspection every other year
Here is a YouTube video showing the details of the car and it running and driving on the road.
