Ferrari 330 GTC
“No other car in the world has the presence, the magic, or the history of a Ferrari.” - James May
The 330 GTC, the natural successor to the 250 GT Lusso, often found its way into the hands of wealthy businessmen and personalities who didn’t want anything too flashy, yet still sought the ultimate grand touring experience. For those after something sportier and more uncompromising, the 275 GTB/4 was the car of choice. It’s no surprise that people like Aristotle Onassis, one of the world’s richest men of the 60s, ordered one new. Princess Lilian de Rethy of Belgium even had hers fitted with special features, and, of course, cinema legend Marcello Mastroianni enjoyed driving one as well

The 330 GTC was presented at the Geneva Salon in 1966, where it received immediate positive feedback. Penned and built by Pininfarina, it combined elements from the 500 Superfast at the front and the 275 GTS at the rear.
Built on the short wheelbase of the 275 GTB - allowing for a more reactive and sporty driving experience - the 330 GTC was powered by a 4-litre engine (Tipo 209), which delivered torque and power at lower RPMs. Its character was flexible, not to be confused with a lack of performance, as even former works Ferrari driver Paul Frère claimed that the GTC 'tracks with about the same precision as a modern race car', a feat helped by the fact that it shares the same suspension setup as its 275 GTB sister.

This Ferrari 330 GTC was delivered in 1968 through Crepaldi Automobili, the most prominent Ferrari dealer in Milan, Italy. The original color scheme was Argento Metallizzato (silver metallic) with a black Franzi leather interior.
The car was exported to the U.S. in the 1970s, where it traveled first to California, then to Salt Lake City. In the early 1990s, the 330 GTC was imported and registered in Switzerland.
The car underwent extensive restoration 10 years ago, including a respray in its original Argento Metallizzato, and a new black leather interior as per factory specifications. The underbody is well preserved, and parts of the suspension and braking system have been refurbished due to natural wear.
