The Maserati Tipo 60 and 61 got the nickname of "Birdcage" from their spaceframe muti-tubular chassis which was composed of 200 small aluminum sections. The Tipo 60 was powered by a 2.0 Litre 4-cylinder 200 S engine. The Tipo 61 used a 2.9 Litre 250 S unit. In 1960 and 1961 Gus Audrey and Roger Pensche drove Birdcages to SCCA Class Championships. The single most remembered win however came to Camoradi Team Chassis #2461 driven by Sterling Moss and Dan Gurney to victory in the 1960 Nurburgring 1000Km.
