What is a 1971 Maserati Bora 4.9 worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $127,100. That sits above the $109,389 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. We rate confidence medium: 2 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.

It has appreciated 648% against its $17,000 list price. Only 275 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $43,777 to $310,000, and mileage explains most of that.

The Bora 4.9 represented the ultimate expression of Maserati's mid-engine philosophy, with the larger-displacement V8 delivering 330 horsepower and 165-mph capability. Only 275 examples received the bigger engine, making it significantly rarer than the 4.7-liter version. The additional displacement transformed the Bora's character, providing effortless torque delivery and genuine supercar performance that could embarrass contemporary Ferraris. Despite the $3,000 premium over the base model, discerning buyers recognized the 4.9's superior performance envelope. Today, these represent the holy grail of Bora ownership, combining Giugiaro's timeless design with Maserati's most potent naturally-aspirated V8 of the era. The extreme rarity and enhanced performance make 4.9s commanding serious premiums over their 4.7-liter siblings, with pristine examples approaching six-figure territory as collectors recognize their significance.
