Long before Lamborghini was building angular supercars, they were crafting timeless masterpieces such as this 1967 400 GT.
Set to be auctioned off by Mecum, this 400 GT is an unrestored gem from the John Atzbach collection and it has just 28,000 miles (45,062 km) on the odometer.
Despite being more than 50 years old, the car is in near original condition as the biggest change appears to be a light “touch-up” of the factory paint job. However, Mecum says only about 10% of the car has been repainted.

While originality is important, the car isn’t perfect as there appears to be a minor dent on the rear fascia. The model also has a few scuffs and scrapes as well as weathered chrome trim. Of course, that’s probably to be expected with something this original.
Moving into the cabin, the interior looks brand new despite featuring original leather upholstery and carpeting. They’re joined by Jaeger instruments and an original Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel.
The originality extends to the engine compartment where there’s a 4.0-liter V12 with six, two barrel Weber carburetors. The engine produces 320 hp (239 kW / 324 PS) and is connected to a five-speed syncromesh manual transmission which sends power to the rear wheels.
While there’s no auction estimate, Lamborghini only produced 246 400 GTs over the course of its three year run. That makes the model pretty rare and there’s no doubt the car will sell for many times more than its original sticker price of $14,950 (£12,184 / €13,837).
