1967 Lamborghini 350GT Coupe

The refined, comfortable, and quiet 350 GT Gran Turismo, equipped with a 3.5-liter, all-aluminum engine which trumped the three-liter V-12 that Ferrari offered at the time. Mated to a five-speed ZF manual transmission, the 350 GT was able to reach 60 mph from a standstill in less than seven seconds. The top speed was in the neighborhood of 160 mph. With its four-wheel independent suspension and vacuum servo-assisted Girling disc brakes all around, the 350 GT offered remarkable passenger comfort and refined driving dynamics.

This example, chassis number 0547, was completed on September 19th of 1967 and was one of the last examples of the series to have been produced. It was acquired by the current owner in May of 1990. Since that time, it has been treated to a concours level restoration, which was completed in June of 2011. The exterior is finished in black with an Oxblood Red leather upholstery.

The car is one of 143 built before the 350 GT was replaced by the 400 GT 2+2.

In 2011, this car was offered for sale at the Monterey, CA auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $325,000-$375,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $434,500, including buyer's premium.
