Common questions
How much does a Maserati 3500GT Spyder cost?
A 1959 Maserati 3500GT Spyder cost $9,200 new. Across every sale we have on file, 5 have sold publicly at a median of $555,000. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $336,000. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $285,600 to $643,375, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1959 Maserati 3500GT Spyder worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $336,000. That sits below the $555,000 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence medium: 5 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.
Is a Maserati 3500GT Spyder a good investment?
It has appreciated 3552% against its $9,200 list price. Only 245 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $320,000 to $710,000, and mileage explains most of that.

With only 245 examples built, the 3500GT Spyder ranks among the rarest postwar Maseratis. Vignale's interpretation of the 3500GT platform traded Touring's reserved elegance for more dramatic styling, featuring distinctive side vents and flowing lines that would influence future Maserati designs. The convertible's slightly more powerful 235-hp engine and improved aerodynamics delivered marginally better performance than the coupe. Originally priced nearly $1,400 above the hardtop, these Spyders commanded serious money when new and remain blue-chip collectibles today. Their extreme rarity, combined with Vignale's masterful coachwork and the model's historical significance as Maserati's first series-production convertible, makes them among the most desirable 1960s Italian convertibles. Finding a good example requires patience and deep pockets.
