About the 1965 De Tomaso Vallelunga

The Vallelunga launched Alejandro de Tomaso's automotive empire, establishing the template for Italian exotica that would define the marque. Giugiaro's early design work at Ghia created a jewel-like sports car powered by Ford's 1.5-liter Kent engine producing 104 horsepower. Only 53 examples were hand-built in Modena between 1965-1968, making this among the rarest production cars ever. The Vallelunga's significance extends beyond numbers, it proved De Tomaso's concept of combining Italian design with American mechanical simplicity. The mid-engine layout and backbone chassis would influence future models, while the Ford partnership established relationships that enabled the Pantera's success. Today, Vallelungas represent the genesis of a legend, with their extreme rarity and historical importance making them highly coveted by collectors who understand their pivotal role in automotive history.
