AI Listing Summary

This 1965 Lamborghini 350 GT Coupe, chassis no. 0205, is a matching-numbers example with aluminum Touring 'Superleggera' bodywork. It was delivered new to Milan in June 1965 and later restored by Francorchamps of America, Inc (FAI) in California, finished in 'Grigio Metallizzato' with a 'Rosso' red leather interior.

Displayed at the Quail Motorsports Gathering in 2013, this well-maintained vehicle has been serviced by Driven Exotics of Gilroy, California, and is now offered from an esteemed collector, making it a 'Holy Grail' among Lamborghini aficionados.

The car underwent a superb, factory-correct restoration performed by noted Italian car restorer FAI. The delicate aluminum Touring bodywork is finished in 'Grigio Metallizzato', with the cabin trimmed in 'Rosso' red leather over matching red carpets and black dashboard. The brightwork remains in excellent condition, and Borrani wire wheels are mounted with 3-eared knockoffs shod on Pirelli tires. The engine compartment is stunningly detailed and trimmed with all the right decals, FIAMM air cleaners and yellow fuel hoses.
