A unique one-off Ferrari, originally built in 1965 as a 330 GT 2+2 Series II with Pininfarina coachwork, it was rebodied in 1967 by Carrozzeria Vignale in Turin to a shooting brake design conceived by Luigi Chinetti Jr. and American illustrator Bob Peak, believed to be the final Ferrari bodied by Vignale.
