Front-Engined Pantera GT: 1983 De Tomaso Longchamp GTS
This 1983 De Tomaso Longchamp is a particularly rare and desirable GTS widebody model, and the seller says it remains in very good condition with a notably low ~32k kilometers. Essentially identical to Maserati’s Kyalami except for powerplant and styling details, these long, wide, low coupes have loads of presence when viewed in person, and with Tom Tjaarda-penned bodywork and 351 Cleveland power, can be viewed as a sort of front-engined, four-seater Pantera GT. Find this one here at Speed 8 Classics in Malle, Belgium for 87,500 euros (~$91k USD today).
Rare 4.0 Liter Interim Model: 1964 Lamborghini 350 GT
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.
Fleet Spec Survivor: 1963 AMC Rambler Classic 550 Wagon
This 1963 AMC Rambler Classic 550 station wagon is a base level car of the type often sold new to fleets and economically minded families. Typically used hard and thrown away ten or 15 years and three or four owners later, this one has survived in what looks like nice condition, and the interior shows just as well as the outside. Described as a “virtually rust-free Southern car,” power comes from a straight-six and automatic combo, and though not perfect, the car easily looks good enough to enjoy owning and driving while attending the occasional casual show. Find it here on Craigslist in Palisades, New York for $6,500.
Low-Key M3 Touring Build: 2003 BMW 325i
This 2003 BMW 325i Touring looks pretty much stock from the outside, but the seller has fitted an M3-sourced S54, 6-speed manual trans, M3 brakes, a ZHP steering rack and more. Though offered in California, no BAR certification is noted, meaning the car is probably destined for another state with more lenient smog laws. Regardless, an M3-swapped E46 wagon has the potential to be a wonderful car, and this one sounds to be headed in the right direction. Find it here on Craigslist in Long Beach, California for $13,500. Special thanks to BaT reader Casey R. for this submission.
