Fans of Classic Exotic Cars Like the Maserati 5000GT Will Want to Read Dan Jedlika’s Article in today’s Chicago Sun Times

It may not go quite fast enough for high-flying rocker Joe Walsh, but this Maserati from the 50s and 60s could manage a respectable 172 mph…

The 5000GT was very exotic during its time but fell out of favor because of how difficult it was to keep one in tiptop running shape.

Now with classic Ferraris of the era out of reach for many collectors, the Maserati 5000GT is now quite a respectable collectible exotic show car.

The article has wonderful background on the many politicians and business people who wanted to own a Maserati 5000GT.

Superb black and white photo of a car that just doesn’t look like it can do 172…

A fully restored one now worth a cool half million by Mr. Jedlicka’s assessment.
