Colour
Blue with red leather interior

Chassis 7483 is a September 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 occupying a transitional position between the first and second production series. It retains Series I coachwork details — quad headlamps and eleven-louvre front wings — while incorporating Series II mechanical and interior advances including suspended pedals, a five-speed gearbox, and a three-vent dashboard. Originally finished in Bleu over Rosso leather and delivered through Luigi Chinetti Motors, the car has had several American owners before passing to a Middle Eastern collection and now awaits full restoration.

Are you the owner of this car?

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.
