Summary:
Used 1951 Maserati Spyder Blue
Location:
Reno, NV
Description:
Maserati A6G/2000 Chassis number 2017 is one of just three short-wheel base Frua Spiders built and as such is exceedingly rare, plus it comes with a well-documented and quite remarkable history. According to a thorough investigation by renowned Maserati historians Adolfo Orsi Jr. chassis 2017 was delivered to Carrozzeria Pietro Frua on July 24, 1950. Six months later it emerged with its new bespoke, hand-built Spider coachwork and it was returned to the Maserati factory to receive its final fit and finishes. Dressed in dark blue, the finished A6G/2000 was delivered to Maserati dealer Mimmo Dei of Rome on May 17, 1951 and immediately sold to its first caretaker, Luigi Trevisan, one of the many professionals working in the movie business. Almost exactly a year later, 2017 was acquired by Franco Di Stefano, also involved in the movie business, and resided in Rome for another two years. Around 1957, the car was exported to the USA and records show that it was purchased by Gene Tice of Santa Monica, California in 1957. Mr. Tice retained the car for several years: at some point it was fitted with a Corvette V-8 engine, a common praxis in those years for rare, refined Italian sportscars. Then in the early 60's it appears the car was offered for sale and sold to Robert P. Yorba of Cambria, California, and was registered on California black plate 'OAZ 434' in Newport Beach, California. According to Yorba's daughters, Robert raced the car in SCCA events across the USA, until it was eventually stored in Yorba's garage and dropped off the radar for some time until serendipity played its hand. Fast forward to October, 1997 - a group of European collectors were lunching in a Californian diner, discussing their most recent automotive escapades. The waitress, Dee Dee, happened to overhear their conversation and announced that she was the owner of a rare Italian automobile. With predictable scepticism, the group enquired about the car and were told it. Still available at ListedBuy!
