Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is suing the car dealer who sold him a 1971 Maserati, alleging the vintage car is not the real deal.
Levine filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California over the $950,000 deal, which saw the singer trade in two of his classic Ferraris for the Maserati in 2020.
The lawsuit alleges classic car dealer Rick Cole or those who work with him faked documents pertaining to the vehicle and engine authentication marks.
The Adam Levine Living Trust said in the suit the 'Payphone' singer believed the Maserati Ghibli 4.9 Liter Spyders to be one of just 25 or so ever manufactured.
Levine is now suing to undo the deal with Cole or receive compensation to make the situation right.

The lawsuit accuses Cole of negligent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and breach of contract.
'The identity of the Vehicle is, at the very least, in serious doubt,' the suit states.
Lawyers say the singer is 'not in the classic car business at all' and trusted the car dealer when he said the car was authentic.
Levine later allegedly found out the vehicle was pulled from an auction five
