In 1968 this 1964 Maserati Mistral won best of show at the pregious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, with owner Stanley Good and Arnold Zucchi who restored the car. Being a fairly new car this was quite a feat, it had won its class at Pebble Beach Concours the year before, but Mr Good wanted to win the Best of Show award, and that it did! The last time this car was seen was around 1972, until Mr Mike Rubenstein brought it to Frank Zucchi Restoration Inc. in 2019. Mike had no idea that it was "the" car. Frank was reluctant to restore the car due to a heavy work load, but something kept at him, this car seemed familar, he researched the car and to everyone ones surprise and delight it turned out to be "the" car! In an absolutely crazy turn of fate this car came back to the Zucchi family 50+ years later, this time to Frank. What are the odds? And so it began the journey back to Pebble Beach! After 4 long years of restsoration this beautiful Maserati Mistral rolled across the stage at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance once again, like a Phoenix out of the ashes, to receive a 2nd place finish in a very deep Maserati Frua class. What a thrill, we at Frank Zucchi Restoration Inc. are so honered and proud to have been part of this incrediable journey and outcome for owners Mike Rubenstein & Tim Hoxie. Brava!!
