1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II
- Engine
- 4.0L SOHC V12 with three Weber carburetors, 300 bhp
- Colour
- Avorio (ivory)
Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II, chassis 08279, built in March 1966, is believed to be the sole factory example finished in Avorio (19377) and the first 330 GT of its type to use twin rather than quad engine mounts. Delivered new to a Ferrari-acquainted owner in Turin, the car later crossed to the United States, spending over two decades with a Houston physician before a full show-standard restoration returned it to original Avorio. The car retains factory-correct alloy wheels and an original blue-painted jack, with an additional set of Borrani wire wheels.
