This 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT is a restored example of Signore Ferruccio’s first production model, and it looks wonderful inside and out. Just 120 or so (140 according to the seller) of these pre-400GT cars were built, and this example is said to be one of a small handful factory fitted with that followup model’s larger, more powerful 4.0 liter V12. Typically these interim models were factory badged as 400GT, despite lacking the subtly reshaped greenhouse and added rear seats fitted to most of those cars. Some sources report as few as 23 of these “in-between” cars made, though all-in, less than 350 of all versions were built by hand before replacement by the Islero in ’68. We remember when both 350 and 400 GT’s could be had for under six figures, and though those days are sadly gone for good, this beautiful example is a nice reminder of Lambo’s more elegant, GT-focused early days. Find it here on Classic Driver in Sassenheim, the Netherlands for $724k USD.

Styled by Touring, 350GT’s, “interim” two-seater 4.0 liter cars, and 400GT’s all shared the same 100″ wheelbase, with most changes on the latter limited to the greenhouse aft of the B-pillars. Twenty-three 4.0 liter two-seater models are believed to have been made. The seller doesn’t note this example’s chassis number unfortunately, and it’s interesting to see it retains 350GT badging. Note also the dual fuel filler doors and Superleggera badge on the trunk lid.

Wood, leather, and a relatively roomy cabin reflect the model’s Grand Touring design role, and like the exterior, everything looks beautifully done inside. The seller doesn’t provide any historical information, so who restored the car and when remains a mystery. It’s pretty easy to see how two additional, small seats could be squeezed in back, as that luggage shelf takes up quite a bit of real estate. Note the lovely and oh-so Italian door pulls.

Bizzarrini’s quad cam V12 never looked so good as it does here with ribbed, crackle-finish cam covers and white lettering, though braided cloth covered fuel lines, six dual-choke side draft Webers and matching white air filter covers help too. Note the distinct intake-through cam valley design. Based on one of his earlier 1.5 liter F1 designs that went nowhere, Bizzarrini was requested to increase displacement to 3.5 liters. The initial prototype delivered 358 HP at a sky-high 9,800 RPM (and with bigger carbs, it was speculated, 400 at 11,000), but in keeping with Ferruccio’s GT aspirations, this was ultimately tuned further downward to a more modest 270 @ 6,500.

This car’s 4.0 liter brings power back up to 320, which is sent rearwards through a ZF 5-speed transmission. Suspension is by double wishbones at all four corners, and all of these early cars were extensively road tested prior to delivery by Bob Wallace himself.
