We are proud to offer one of the nicest 330 GTC which came across our way in |
| the last 30 years since we started to look for Italian sportscars. In 2006 we had | |
| the chance to buy this 330 GTC from the long term Italian owner, who was an | |
| Italian Ferrari club member for years. In this time it had a mileage of 47 650 | |
| km. It spent most of its life in Italy where it had been delivered by S.A.M.O.Cars | |
| in 1967. |
| The original colours confirmed by Ferrari had been blu scuro with a | |
| contrasting tan interior. It carries the original matching number engine which | |
| corresponds with the chassis number. The numero interno which is correctly | |
| stamped has already been confirmed by Ferrari as being correct.When we had it | |
| first we started some work in our shop which should have been done in order to | |
| have it perfect. By this we have taken the engine apart for a major inspection in | |
| our workshop. The cylinder heads were completely rebuilt with new valves, | |
| valve seats, valve guides and everything which needed to be done. While the | |
| engine was removed from the car we took the chance to detail the whole engine | |
| compartment carrying out a big service including rebuilding of carburettors, | |
| ignition, new radiator, supplying new hoses and wiring etc. etc. |
| The result was a | fantastic like new engine compartment. The work carried out is |
| shown by the service records and bills which are still in the file of the beautiful | |
| 330 GTC. |
| In the same time we commissioned the work for a new interior at the best | |
| upholstery shop in Germany. |
| The dashboard is virtually like new. The gauges are original and like new. The | |
| original vinyl on the dashboard. the centre console and on the door panels is | |
| still in unbelievable like new condition.What amazed me the most is the trunk | |
| compartment. The carpets are still the orginal carpets and they are really in like | |
| new condition. In 30 years I only found just one 330 GTC having the same | |
| original trunk compartment. This is my own personal two owners from new and | |
| 32 000 km German deliverd 330 GTC. |
| A recent test drive has shown that this 330 GTC runs, drives and sounds like it | |
| looks. The sound of the 4000 ccm V 12 cylinder engine is wonderful. The gears | |
| are sfifting without any noise and there is no vibration coming from the | |
| drivetrain. Everything works like it should.The mileage today shows little more | |
| than 49 500 km which we believe, compared to the originality, seems to be the |
| original | mileage of this car. |
| This is a marvellous example of a 330 GTC, fantastic colour combination, | |
| original like new dashboard, original like new trunk compartment, best quality | |
| tan leather interior with contrasting dark brown carpets, | |
| great paint and chrome, perfect gaps, not any signs of any former accidents, | |
| detailed like new engine compartment, matching number engine confirmed by | |
| Ferrari, perfect Borrani wire wheels. |
| This is the the car for the serious collector who is looking for "the 330 GTC" for | |
| his ultimate collection. |
| The 330 GTC is one of best developed thoroughbreds ever made by Ferrari. | |
| The GTC received the transaxle system in order to have a better balance, the | |
| new independent front and rear suspension, the dics brakes, a five speed | |
| gearbox, the torque tube which connects the engine with the gearbox in order | |
| to reduce any vibration coming from the drivetrain and last but not least the new | |
| 4000 ccm V 12 power unit Tipo 209 which developes 300 BHP. |
| By this Ferrari achieved one of the best driving sportcars ever made. The | |
| handling on small roads is same execellent as travelling on the highwayshaving | |
| the new five speed gearbox. |
| There are not few Ferrari enthusiasts which believe that the 330 GTC is one of | |
| the best driving Ferrari out of the sixties - I am one of them. |
