THE FERRARI 330 GT

Determined to broaden its customer base by building comfortable and fast touring cars that could accommodate more than two passengers, Ferrari replaced its popular but aging 250 GTE 2+2 with the interim 330 America in 1964 and the 330 GT 2+2 in 1965. The first series of the 330 GT 2+2, with quadruple headlamps, received mixed reviews stylistically; Pininfarina cleaned up the second series with a cleaner front-end design utilizing just two headlights, different fender vents, and an extended nose. The Series II offered a five-speed, fully-synchronized transmission and new Koni adjustable coil-over shock absorbers for improved drivability. Campagnolo center-lock light-alloy disc wheels became standard fitment, although traditional Borrani wires remained an extra-cost option. The 300bhp Colombo-designed wide-angle V12 engine offered a top speed of about 150mph. It is estimated that some 460 examples of the Series II 330GT 2+2 were constructed from 1965 through 1967.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Never mind letters of credit or wire transfers; when U.S. Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti ordered a new car from the factory in the 1960s, he simply wrote a check and mailed it off to Modena. Such was the case when he arranged the purchase of this example, a left-hand drive, U.S.-specification 330 GT 2+2. Having received a check from Chinetti Motors in the amount of $8,349.00, Ferrari completed and shipped chassis 8361 in March of 1966, and it was delivered to its first owner, a Mr. Fulmor, in Los Angeles on April 26 of that year. It was finished in Argento with a beige leather interior and equipped with electric windows and a Blaupunkt stereo.

As documented by Ferrari researchers Marcel Massini and Cathy Roush, this car was soon thereafter sold to Mr. Richard Robinson of Santa Ana, California, who enjoyed the car until December 10, 1977, when he in turn sold it to Mr. Gary Alums of Manhattan Beach. This Ferrari remained with Mr. Alums until his passing, when his estate sold it to the current owner on August 29, 1997. At that point in time, the car had recorded just 75,002 miles. The new owner – an experienced foreign car technician residing in the San Jose area - immediately began a comprehensive restoration that encompassed three and a half years. The engine was completely overhauled, with new pistons and rings, new valves, springs, guides, and valve seats. All plain and roller bearings were replaced, the water pump and mechanical fuel pump were rebuilt, and a new electric booster fuel pump installed, and in 2002, the trio of downdraft Weber carburetors was overhauled by experts at Pierce Manifold. A new Bosch 70w/h internally-regulated alternator was installed and the car recently received a Pertronix ignition. Both the radiator and gas tank were cleaned and the latter resealed. The transmission was refurbished, and a new rubber driveshaft coupling installed. Underneath, the suspension was rebuilt, all bushings replaced, the front A-arms were replated and the braking system was overhauled.

In 1999, the new owner had the Pininfarina-built body re-sprayed in Silver as when new, by John Holt of Autosport Autobody in Clovis, California. The bumpers, over-riders, door handles, and other chrome trim items were replated, and all stainless steel parts polished. Finally, a new interior was crafted to original patterns by Chuck Coop at Jack's Auto Top and Upholstery in early 2012. All receipts are available for inspection. Although the car was delivered with a set of Campagnolo light-alloy center-lock wheels, a previous owner acquired and installed a new set of period-correct and optional chrome-plated Borrani wire wheels. The original Campagnolo wheels are supplied with the car, along with the original ignition system, an original spark plug wrench and grease gun, a replacement tool set, jack, hub puller, and some documents and manuals. In 2015, the car was purchased by its current owner, a Greenwich CT. based collector. Since, it has been maintained at Miller Motorcars and further received a full repaint compliments of J+B Body Works of Mt. Vernon NY. Most importantly, a Ferrari Classiche certification was completed and delivered within the past year and will be accompanying the car upon purchase.

This handsome Ferrari has been displayed many times at Concorso Italiano, most recently in 2012. With fewer than 10,000 miles added since its complete renovation, it offers its next owner four liter's worth of lusty V12 power in a family-friendly 2+2 package, perfect for the enthusiast desirous of fast and smooth motoring.
