- Engine
- 4.0L V12 SOHC, three Weber carburetors, 300 bhp

Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 chassis 7515 is a rare transitional example combining the first-series dual-headlamp Pininfarina body with second-series mechanical refinements including a five-speed gearbox and suspended pedals. Completed at the factory in July 1965 and delivered to Luigi Chinetti Motors, the car passed through several American hands including the noted FAF Motorcars dealership. Believed to retain its original mileage of approximately 28,000 miles, it has received a sympathetic restoration covering drivetrain and mechanical components.
