In order to compete intheprestigious World Sportscar Championship, Maserati introducedand developed theA6GCS from 1953 - 55. Initially designedasspyders by Colombo, the A6 evolved with variants refined byFantuzzi, Fiandri, Vignale and Pininfarina. At the 1954Mondial del'AutomobileinParis, Maserati presented theA6GCS/54,inBerlinetta,BarchettaandSpidervariations. To this day, theA6GCS remains a very important model to the legacy of Maserati asit had great racing success right from its debut. Maserati wonnumerous races with the A6GCS, including the 1953 Mille Miglia (1stand 2nd in class, 3rd overall), against brutal competition from theFerrari and Mercedes factory teams. From 1953 - 1955 the A6GCS haddocumented success at the Targa Florio and Pescara, as well asraces in Italy, South America, the UK, and several wins in the US.In total less than 50 Spyders were built between 1953 and 1955. Allwere originally delivered with a 1985cc aluminum block, overheadtwin cam, twin plug engine producing approximately 170 horse power.As time went on, most of the competition driven A6GCS's experiencedmultiple engine changes and subsequent modifications. Often,American derived power plants were used to replace expired 2.0liter Maserati units. It is rare that an A6GCS comes to the market,so it is very speculative to state todays market value. In 2013, anearly identical looking A6GCS was auctioned off by RM Sotheby'swere it failed to reach its pre-sale estimate of 3.5 milliondollars after the spirited bidding ended with a no sale offer of$2,200,000 US Dollars. The vehicle offered here is a beautiful andfascinating hand crafted recreation. It has a tube frame chassis,an aluminum semi-monocoque, and a fiberglass body. It is powered byan aluminum 4.5 litre V8 fed by 4 downdraft Webers, producing anintoxicating growl from its dual side exhaust. It does not matterif you are in to parking your car on the concourse lawn or takingit for a spirit drive on track day, you will have a very difficulttime finding a better bang for the buck. Included with the salewill be a bolt-in chrome roll bar for track days, assemblypictures, and owner's manual. It is no secret that the marketvalues of quality recreations continue to go up, as theavailability of quality turn-key examples continues to dissipate.
