A 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC, one of just 598 produced, originally delivered new to Rome in January 1968 in Argento Italver over Rosso trim. The car was exported to the United States during the 1970s, passing through several owners in Texas and Georgia before returning to Europe in 1986. Acquired in 1987 by Monsieur Petitjean via Belgian collector Edmond Perry, it retains its original engine though the steering wheel and transmission have been replaced at some point.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
