Rosso Rubino (deep red) over English Saddle leather

The Ghia L 6.4 is a rare hand-built Italian-American grand touring coupe produced in very limited numbers between 1961 and the mid-1960s, with only 26 examples completed. Constructed entirely by Ghia on a bespoke chassis with a 383-cubic-inch Mopar V-8, it was marketed through Dual-Motors of Detroit at a price exceeding $13,000. This particular example, finished in Rosso Rubino over English Saddle leather, was delivered in late 1962 or early 1963 to a member of the Kuwaiti royal family and remained in that single ownership for approximately six decades.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
