The Escudería
OF TOMASO LONGCHAMP FOR SALE
Are you looking for a really curious car to restore? Something that is rarely seen in the concentrations? Belonging to a very specific brand with a good story behind it? Something for connoisseurs? And that it also has a somewhat badass point with a fat tire under some elegant Italian lines? The combination of all these questions seems to have a difficult answer, but we believe that this By Tomaso Longchamp from 1974 could give answer.
Looking at the photos it is clear that this Longchamp needs a good set-up work (and a lot more). However, if you walk wanting something to work in restoration its status is a positive rather than a negative trait.
To the specificity of the De Tomaso brand, you have to add the fact that its parts create a panoply of automotive brands. Ideal for fans of classic motor history. To start the engine is a Ford 351 Cleveland. Quite a gurgling American V8 which you drive with a 3-speed automatic gearbox (I wish it were manual!).
Within the extensive customization that this particular unit presents, it must be said that the engine yields up to 340 hp (60 over the 280 awarded for a unit that does not see its factory status altered). The brakes are supposed to be sourced Ferrari and the two fuel tanks come from Jaguar.
The rear axle also comes from the English brand. In short, with all these data you will imagine why we have recommended it if what you are looking for is a really unusual car. It seems difficult to do so, but the good news is that for this engine there are a lot of parts that are easy to find and affordable to buy. The rest is another story.
It is located in The Hague, with an estimated value of $14.000. It has been sold by 22.100.
