History

Where seen: PI #88 pg20-23.
Past owners: This 1965 De Tomaso Vallelunga is the first of approximately 50 Ghia-built production examples of De Tomaso’s first series production model built between 1965 and 1967 and was delivered to its first owner in Switzerland in 1969. After undergoing a color change and passing through three Swiss owners, chassis 101 was purchased by marque specialist Marcel Schaub, who commissioned a two-year refurbishment before driving the car to the De Tomaso factory in Modena in 1996. The car was purchased by its current owner in 2004 after sustaining damage from a carburetor fire, which was repaired during a 2024 refresh that included the installation of replacement dual Weber carburetors and a re-trim of the interior in black. Featuring fiberglass bodywork finished in red over a pressed-steel backbone chassis, the car is powered by a mid-mounted 1.5-liter Ford OHV inline-four that is mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes, coilover independent suspension, staggered-width 13” Campagnolo cast-magnesium wheels, and an aluminum fuel tank. This Vallelunga is now offered by the seller, a BaT Local Partner, in the Netherlands on behalf of the owner with its previous Swiss registration booklet and German importation paperwork.
Modifications: 100 pt restoration in 96, 23,000 km, third owner, not registered since 1971, 680 kg. PI #88-20.
