Description
During the ‘60s, Ferrari produced some of their most revered models, cars that captured the hearts of enthusiasts and have become solid-gold icons.. like the $90, 000, 000 GTO! Sharing some of the same overall design lines of those fabulous 2-seaters, the model with the largest production and most sales was the 330GT 2+2. Built in two series, only about 1100 330s were produced and are now recognized as very worthy representatives of Ferrari’s golden era…but at a much more affordable price! Its 4-liter Colombo engine was the latest development of the V12 that powered Ferrari’s first grand prix car, and is amazingly durable and is considered iconic itself. The second-series 330 had a cleaned-up headlight treatment and a 5-speed transmission along with other more-subtle improvements, and this car is one of the very finest ones extant. Marcel Massini has tracked its history from new through only 5 owners. It was never allowed to fall into disrepair and its recent professional restoration succeeded in making #7917 virtually new again. The original engine was completely overhauled, chassis & suspension rebuilt and the car trimmed in all-new medium-blue leather like it was when new. The extremely-complementary original color of Grigio Fumo was retained and the car now presents as a great-driving, fully sorted, serious show contender. Never shown since the restoration, but the car is easily Platinum-level and will be a wonderful asset for owner #6.
