1971 Lamborghini Jarama Rare, best options, only 28k miles, same owner 33 years!

1971 Lamborghini Jarama. red with tan interior. only 27. 37 miles.   Numbers matching chassis and motor. Only 177 examples of the Jarama were produced between 1970 and 1973. which makes this a very rare car. The engine is a 4 liter V-12 fitted with six Weber carburetors that produces 350 horsepower at 7500 rpm. Combined with a 5 speed transmission. the Jarama drives fast and sounds great. with a top speed over 150 miles per hour.  This early Jarama is the most desirable configuration sought by knowledgeable collectors because it was fitted with Miura-type knock off wheels. and a leather dash instead of the plastic dash found on later Jaramas. It was also fitted with the desirable fold-down rear seatbacks. which can convert the car into a 2 seater!  This particular car was owned by the same family for almost 35 years. from 1980 until 2013. Once purchased a light recommissioning was done. including cleaning the carburetors. redoing the brakes. and installing a new exhaust center section. At the present time the car runs well. but it has not been driven a lot. Cosmetically here are the flaws-  the paint has some cracking in it. and there is a   mismatch of the paint detectable in the rockers where some minor rust was properly repaired by cutting it out and replacing it with new metal- now there is no rust on the car. The interior is very nice with soft leather. The correct gas cap is missing. And the windshield has a few small bubbles in the glass. Other than these flaws. this is a very nice example of a rare Lamborghini that with a little work to become an excellent example throughout.   A reputable West Coast dealer recently sold a Jarama needing a full restoration for approx. $75. 00 on the first day it was advertised.  My car is in far better condition. and my reserve isn't much more. There have also been two sales in Europe of nice Jaramas at approx. $175. 00 and $180. 00 US dollars- clearly the market is finally starting to appreciate Jaramas. especially when compared to the far higher prices other Lamborghini models from this era are bringing.     The car is located in the northwestern corner of Connecticut. about 75 miles north of New York City.  If you have questions you can email me thru this website or call 860-350-1140.
