 | Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, approached Maserati to build him a road car with the powerful five-liter V-8 that was developed for the 450S sports racing car. Maserati, keen to please, reinforced a 3500 GT chassis and dropping in one of the unused 450S motors. The 5000 GT was born. |
Chassis AM103 018, was the ninth of 34 cars built. Ghia displayed 018 at the 1961 Turin Auto Show, finished in its original silver over black. |  After decaying for nearly 50 years, AM103 018 is in remarkably complete condition and would be worthy to restore to its former glory. |
 | It has never been vandalized, disassembled, or stripped of parts. Even the unused spare tire is still in the trunk. In 2016 a concours quality 1961 Maserati 5000 GT Coupe brought $1.6m at Gooding. |  |
