Comments: |
The Ferrari 330 GTC has been originally delivered in the US in April 1968 |
through the US West Coast Distributor MCM Modern Classic Motors (owned | |
by Bill Harrah) in Reno, NV/USA. It was ordered by its first Arizona based owner | |
John Doe in one of the most beautiful color combination of Grigo Argento with | |
contrasting red interior. |
The complete chain of ownership is confirmed by a Marcel Massini report which | |
is accompanying the cars file. The car was bought in the US by a Spanish | |
collector in 1991 who had it registered in England until 2012 when it was bought | |
by another Spanish Ferrari afficionado. While in Spain the car received a bigger | |
renovation with a new bare metal paint job into its original color of Grigio | |
Argento. | |
In October 2014 the 330 GTC received the Certificato di Autenticita by Ferrari | |
Spa Modena confirming delivery, colour combination as Grigio Argento 1.443.030 | |
A. It. and Pelle rossa VM 3171and most important the originality of the | |
matching number engine and gearbox which are still in our 330 GTC | |
after nearly 50 years. |
In summer 2017 we decided to go through the car again. By this we have | |
dismanteled the car, taking out the engine and rebuilding everything which | |
seemed to be neccessary.We have received a tremendous result with a | |
perfect frame, new suspension and a perfectly detailed engine compartment. | |
The work carried out is documented by a large photo documentation and will be | |
accompanied by an amount of bills and service records. We suppose that this | |
must be the best 330 GTC in the market today. |
We could reassure the next enthusiast owner of this beautiful 330 GTC that it | |
runs, drives and looks perfectly, for sure one of the best driving 330 GTC we had | |
in recent years. The engine has lots of torque and accelerates tremendously, | |
the gearbox does not have any synchro problems and the drive train is not | |
showing any vibration, the suspension is stiff thanks to the latest renovation |
and the | brakes are working properly. |
It is overall according to its full history, confirmed originality, recent renovation | |
and road performance one of the nicest and best driving 330 GTC's. |
The Ferrari 330 GTC is one of the best driving classic Ferrari out of the sixties. It | |
benfitted of the most important new developments done by Ferrari. It received | |
the new 4000 ccm and 300 bhp engine, the 5- Speed gearbox which was | |
mounted as a trans axle system, independent front and rear suspension and all | |
around disc brakes. The engine was connected to the gearbox with a torque | |
tube which helped to avoid any vibration from the drive train. |
Having all this in mind it is not surprising why most of the Ferrari collectors are | |
keen to have one of these beautiful thoroughbreds in their garages. |
