The 330 GT America offered has been delivered to Chinetti Motors,
|
|
Greenwich, CT in 1964 as the 44th built 330 GT America. It stayed in the US
|
|
having a complete ownership history until it was bought by a German collector
|
|
from Berlin in 1993. He commissioned a nut and bolt restoration in one of the
|
|
known and famous restoration companies of Switzerland. The complete
|
|
restoration is well documenetd by hundreds of detailed photos and the bills
|
|
showing an amount near to 300 k CHF in total.
|
|
There will not be lots of 330 America in the world which could be compared with
|
|
this car.

The 330 GT America was the last development of the 250 GTE carrying the same
|
|
body of the last tipo Series III but having been ordered especially for the
|
|
American market through Luigi Chinetti who asked for a bigger displacement
|
|
engine. Before Ferrari launched the new model as the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 there
|
|
were just 50 cars produced with the old style 250 GTE body but having already
|
|
installed the 300 BHP engine of the successor. According to our research
|
|
there are not more than 35 cars known today which makes the 330 GT America
|
|
to a looked after collector item.
