400 GT 2+2 #1135 available from Belgium

It will be intresting to see what this brings...I have been trying to figure out where to price my recently aquired 1967 GT400 2+2 as well...

27,000KM, truly all original, everything, no re-spray..nothing. Just getting full major service from Gary's, tires, filters fluids, brakes, new stainless fule lines...etc etc..only two owners, last owner having it since 1970!

Keep us informed please...

Stunning looking car.

 

Just my 2cents and it mean nothing......but I would be willing to pay bigger money for an untouched example in excellent condition.

 

generally the restored ones bring more, simply because the restoration costs so much.

BUT -- I'll just add that one must keep in mind that the lower number 400GT 2+2s are in fact the last cars made by Touring. They are truly hand built by master body makers, panels pounded out by hand. Masterpieces of art, and in time these cars will jump up from where they are now.

Plus, they are just stunning to drive. Like they were made by Lexus -- far superior to Ferraris of the time.

Anyway, good examples should be around $200k, whereas fine restorations around $300k (and those don't seem to go on the block too often).

I'm just throwing those numbers out there, don't hold me to them.

The biggest problem with exotics in this price range is that the restoration can cost that amount. Pretty much any car can be restored for $200k -- so when that's the asking price, you can't make too much on the car. They still have a ways to go before they hit the magical equation.

I think 350s are getting there, and interims even moreso.

Fun stuff to ponder, but not nearly as fun as driving them. It's like driving a fine Swiss watch.

Cheers,

I have no ideas on prices for these cars but what would an ok driver and a car with needs cost? Which cost more 400 or 350?
Guess I'm just looking for some education on what the least expensive someone could obtain one of these. I really like cars with need as I like bringing them back over a long period of time
I've always like the body better than the Esapda and Jarama.

 

Hi Peter,

Honestly -- I don't know. There aren't a whole lot of transactions going on, at least that I'm aware of.

I'm thinking the 350/400 cars are simply becoming more valuable, especially when you consider they were some of the best cars made by Lamborghini, and there weren't that many made. Let's say 150 total. So -- there aren't a whole lot to choose from.

The 400GT 2+2 ... they made 100 more, so about 250. They aren't as "pure" as the 350/400 cars, but frankly not many folks can even tell them apart. You can most certainly get one of these cars for less than a 350/400 (and when I say "400" I'm talking about one of the rare interim cars).

So who knows. I think it's pretty much an individual case. You can have a perfect 400GT 2+2 go on the market and sell for $300k. It really depends on the example.

Still, there's no question most of them are a good hunk of change less than a 350/400.

I'm sure that doesn't answer your question...but oh well.

Cheers,

Fred

 

What's the bright red knob on the center dash?

Looks great, I'm fond of cars that still have their original interiors.

 

Good idea...although my first thought was "Ejector Seat"
