This 1967 De Tomaso Vallelunga is one of approximately 50 Ghia-built production examples of De Tomaso’s first series production model built between 1965 and 1967. Chassis 106 was delivered new in May 1967 in Varese, Italy, before spending its first 16 years in Northern Italy and Rome. The car was later purchased by a Spanish marque enthusiast who brought it to Barcelona and commissioned a refurbishment that was performed between 2019 and 2023 with modifications that included the addition of a supercharged 1.5-liter Ford inline-four and widening of the fenders. It was then imported to the US in 2024 before being purchased by the selling dealer in 2025. Finished in red, the car also features a single Weber carburetor, dry-sump lubrication, a Volkswagen-sourced four-speed manual transaxle, four-wheel disc brakes, coilover independent suspension, 13” Campagnolo wheels, and tan leather interior upholstery. This Vallelunga is now offered in North Salem, New York, with a copy of its previous Italian registration booklet, invoices from work performed in 2024 and 2025, a numbered copy of Janosch Jurowski’s book Vallelunga History, and Connecticut registration.

The Vallelunga prototype debuted with a spider body provided by Fissore at the 1963 Turin Motor Show, where De Tomaso’s stand also showcased the model’s pressed-steel backbone chassis as a wall-mounted display. Fissore developed a series of aluminum-bodied fixed-roof prototypes before production shifted to Carrozzeria Ghia, who reinterpreted Fissore’s styling in fiberglass. In 1966, a Vallelunga was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as part of the exhibition “The Racing Car: Toward a Rational Automobile.”

This example’s bodywork was modified with widened fenders during the refurbishment performed by Retro Cars Competicion in Barcelona, Spain, between 2019 and 2023, which also included a repaint in red. Features include faired-in headlights, Marchal fog lamps integrated into the bodywork, a Monza-style fuel-filler cap centered in the front hood, black mesh front and rear grilles, dual side mirrors, front and rear quarter vent windows, curved quarter panel vents, a lift-up glass rear hatch, and bright rear deck grilles. Various imperfections in the finish are shown up close in the photo gallery below.

Silver-finished Campagnolo wheels were fitted after the car’s importation to the US and are wrapped in Michelin XAS-FF tires that measure 165HR13 up front and 185HR13 at the rear and show 2022 and 2023 date codes. Stopping is handled by disc brakes at each corner with ventilated rotors up front, while steering is via rack and pinion.

The cabin is trimmed in tan leather over fixed-back bucket seats with matching upholstery over the door panels, dashboard, and console. Additional features include black carpeting, tan quilted leather over the rear shelf and bulkhead, a gated shifter, and roll-up windows. Seat belts were added in late 2024, while replacement seat load-bearing straps were fabricated in February 2025.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a wood-accented instrument binnacle housing Jaeger instrumentation including a 250-km/h speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer flanking an oil-pressure gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 74 miles, approximately five of which have been added under current ownership. Gauges monitoring oil temperature, coolant temperature, and fuel level are situated amid wood console trim to the driver’s right.

The 1.5-liter Ford inline-four is said to have been sourced from a period Formula 3 race car and breathes through a supercharger and a single Weber 45 DCOE carburetor. Additional features include dry-sump lubrication with an oil cooler, a crossflow cylinder head, a ribbed valve cover, and long-tube exhaust headers. Service in February 2025 included cleaning the carburetor jets and adjusting the carburetors, a timing adjustment, and cleaning of the spark plugs.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via an inverted Volkswagen four-speed manual transaxle, and the shift linkage was repaired in February 2025. Four-wheel independent suspension incorporates unequal-length A-arms up front with reversed lower A-arms, single upper links, and quad trailing arms at the rear. Coilover shock absorbers and anti-roll bars are utilized at both ends.

The car’s entry in Janosch Jurowski’s book Vallelunga History features older photos of the car and notes the refurbishment in Barcelona. The book is numbered 1606 to match the car’s chassis number. Additional historical photos of the car are viewable in the gallery along with the car’s previous Italian registration booklet listing an initial registration date in 1967.

The vehicle is being sold on its Connecticut registration, which serves as an ownership document.
