A 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II, one of 460 built between 1965 and 1967, originally delivered through Luigi Chinetti Motors in Greenwich, Connecticut, finished in Bianco Saratoga over red Connolly leather with power steering, windows, and air conditioning. Its early ownership history is incomplete, but by 2000 it had been acquired by Florida-based restorer Marco Piehl, who carried out a frame-off restoration in Rosso Corsa over Nero leather.
