Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
One of 99 built. Unrestored and showing 63,515 km (39,466 miles). Sold new in Italy, then bought by a young Californian in 1969 as a honeymoon gift, but spent several decades in his Northern California garage. Cracked, faded, chipped paint but it’s presentable and charming in its originality. Dull chrome and wheels. Oxidized underneath. Worn but intact leather. Surprisingly clear gauges and clean switchgear. It may be a "barn find," but it is nowhere near as crusty and rotten as many barn finds are. It could be a reasonably straightforward restoration, or with some serious mechanical attention it could be driven and enjoyed as-is by someone who is into the patina look.
Market commentary
Ferrari introduced their 330 GTC in 1966. The two-seat coupe was an elegant Pininfarina-designed coupe that was more spacious and powerful than the famed 275 GTB, yet smaller than the 330 GT 2+2. The drop-top 330 GTS arrived later that year to give both closed and open options. In Ferrari math, no roof typically equals more money and in the 330's case the GTS is worth more than three times as much as the GTC. That said, the market may be soft on '60s Ferraris, or the Amelia bidders weren't smitten with this car's originality, because it's a #4 condition car sold for #4 condition money.
