1967 Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 Coupe

This Lamborghini 400 GT Interim was sold to Roswell and Elizabeth Sanford of Margaretville, New York in 1967. On October 21st of 1967, the Sanfords struck a deal with Ed Jurist of the Vintage Car Store, Inc., in Nyack, new York, and traded in their 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS toward the barely used Lamborghini. The Ferrari had served as Chinetti's New York Show Car just two years earlier. At the time, the car was valued at $6,000, while the Lamborghini commanded a staggering $11,500. The Lamborghini remained with the Sanfords for 18 years, during which time it accrued approximately 40,000 miles.

In 1985, Mr. Sanford passed away and soon-after, it was offered for sale. In fall of 1986, Michael Kerr of Woodsburgh, New York, purchased the largely original 400 GT Interim and commissioned a ground-up restoration. Between 1987 and 1989, approximately $150,000 was spent restoring it back to its original splendor. The initial restoration was completed in 1991 and over the years, work would continue. In 1992, he reupholstered the interior in fawn hides sourced from Connolly Leather in the United Kingdom.

In August of 1993, the 400 GT Interim made its concours debut during the Classic Car Week on the Monterey Peninsula. The car earned the People's Choice award at Concorso Italiano and a Third in Class at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

The current owner has owned the car for over a decade. The car has its factory-delivered engine, original Touring body, and even the Becker Europa TR installed in the dashboard.
