Vehicle Description
1967 Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to
present this handsome 1967 Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 featured in black
with beige leather interior. This car comes to us from 25 years in
a local collection. The car has had three owners and recorded
92,265 KM (Approximately 54k miles) most of which were put on by
the first two owners. It is in largely original condition with one
respray and is best characterized as a high level driver. When
Lamborghini, a respected Italian manufacturer of tractors and farm
equipment, set out to build a better Grand Tourer than Ferrari, he
hired the best in the industry and debuted with the 350GT. While
the 350GT was well received, Lamborghini produced 23 350GTs with an
enlarged 4-liter version of their V-12 and called them 400GTs. The
new Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 was introduced at Geneva in 1966. It was
comfortably appointed, a capable cruiser at speeds above 150 mph,
and had two small rear seats for four hypothetical occupants. The
car broadened Lamborghinis appeal as it offered more power and more
seating than its 350GT predecessor.For the 400GT 2+2 the
differential and rear suspension were modified to lower the floor
pan. Only 247 cars were produced from 1966 to 1968. The new
Lamborghini 400GT 2+2 was sheathed in steel bodywork that was
thoroughly revised by Touring in order to accommodate the back
seats while preserving the 350GTs attractive proportions, resulting
in almost every panel on the car being new in spite of its likeness
to the previous car. The 2+2 had four headlights instead of the
350GTs two, but numerous other features of the 400GT 2+2 improved
upon and set it apart from the 350GT. In addition to the larger and
more powerful 320-hp 3929-cc version of the wonderful
Bizzarini-designed six-Weber V-12, Lamborghini also introduced
their own five-speed gearbox that by all accounts was easier to use
and quieter than the 350GTs ZF unit. Changes to the four-wheel
independent suspension were also introduced to accommodate the cars
400 extra pounds of weight. Reviews at the time compared the car
favorably in handling and performance to its Ferrari
contemporaries.Our car runs and drives well and exhibits honest
patina. Few of the delightful Grand Touring cars survive and they
are worthy rivals of Ferraris mid and late 1960s Grand Tourers.
