3/7/16 Update: This 1973 Maserati Bora was a well-running cosmetically respectable example when it was completely disassembled about 16 years ago for restoration. The body/chassis unit was completely stripped to bare metal. Some rust-through damage was discovered after stripping and was repaired by cutting out the damaged panels, abricating and butt-welding in repair panels and sprayed with primer. It then sat indoors in a corner for many years and developed some surface rust through the primer. The body/chassis unit was recently soda-blasted to remove the old primer and then surface rusted areas were blasted clean with glass-beads.
This Bora has the desirable Euro stainless steel bumpers, ot the DOT rubber bumpers.
The all-aluminum, .9 liter, -cam, 8 engine was disassembled. The crankshaft was ground, he cylinders were honed, he valve seats and valve guides were removed. New bearings, alve seats, alve guides, istons and rings were purchased but never installed.
The 5-speed manual ZF trans-axle is in good shape and comes with a new clutch.
Car is mostly complete. One seat appears to be missing but we may still find it.
Interested parties can request a zip file of photos of the car and all the parts. This car has been carefully stored indoors for years. The engine is a 4.9 litre.
