1979 Maserati Khamsin 5-Speed
Wonderfully Original and Super Rare 1979 Maserati Khamsin 5-Speed
VIN: 1260
Body #: 550164
Car #: 25329
Odometer: 23128
Engine: 4.9L (299ci) V8 DOHC
Trans.: 5-spd Manual (ZF)
The Khamsin was the first Bertone design created for Maserati. It was introduced at the 1973 Paris Motor Show with production starting in 1974. The Khamsin is named for a hot, violent Egyptian desert wind. This is a front-engine/rear-wheel drive Grand Touring (GT) vehicle powered by a 4.9L V8 engine fed by four two-barrel Weber carburetors. The undercarriage design includes fully independent suspension at all four corners. Maserati claimed a top speed of 170mph (270 kph).
Through eight years of production from 1974 through 1982, there were only 435 Khamsins built. Of those, 155 were exported to the U.S. Due to NHTSA regulations, the taillights were not allowed to be mounted in the rear glass panel, thus making the U.S. vehicles an even rarer vehicle.
This extremely original 1979 Maserati Khamsin is only 1 of 100 cars delivered to North America with a 5-speed manual gearbox and is a matching numbers example. A rare car already with only 435 built in total production, this Khamsin has been under the same ownership for the last 40 years and has been sitting for the last 10 years. It wears an extremely attractive original color combination, white with red leather interior. Finding a 5-speed Khamsin is almost impossible. This one is a highly collectible and desirable classic.
