The 350/400 GT Series represented Ferruccio Lamborghini’s desire to create the finest Grand Touring automobile ever assembled. During its introductory year, only 13 examples of the 350 GT version were constructed, and only about 120 in total — all mostly hand-built. Among the few survivors remaining is this automotive design tour de force (above) that will be offered at the 16th annual Russo and Steele auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, January 27-31.
Finished in a lustrous black over tan leather hides and riding on Borrani knockoff wire wheels, this early Lamborghini has been comprehensively restored inside and out. From its trademark oval headlamps to the early 3.5-liter Bizzarrini-designed V12 engine, no detail or element has been overlooked in bringing this exquisite car back to its original standard.
This early production 350 GT has received multiple best in class awards on the Concours d’Elegance circuit, indicative of its quality workmanship, attention to detail and dramatic presentation. It will be accompanied comprehensive restoration portfolio.
Unlike the later production 400s, the early 350GTs featured all-alloy coachwork by Touring that benefited from their unique patented Superleggera build process.
