Default Thought this was a miura...

I thought this was a miura but upon further inspection I noticed the head lights difference and this car seems to have another small window behind the side windows.

Maybe some of you smarter guys out there can help me our

Looks similar to a Pantera Detomaso

Maserati Merak, if you think that might be a Miura, I suggest Specsavers.

Could also be a Maserati Bora - Very similar:

Merak - V6
Bora - V8

Looks more like a Merak to me. Believe it or not the Merak is a 2+2 like the old Ferrari GT-4 and Lamborghini Urraco

It is a Merak. You can tell the Merak from the Bora in a couple ways. Most obvious, is the Bora does not have the flying buttresses from the roof to the back. The Bora is enclosed with glass in that area:

merak, nice car with V6 engine...
the car is beautiful, but (a little) a "citroen" maserati

a friend of mine had one and was a bit disappointed by reliability and performance,
btw: the look is nice
