1967 Ferrari 330 GTC by Zagato
Chassis 10659 is a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC that underwent a remarkable transformation when Luigi Chinetti shipped it to Italy for Carrozzeria Zagato to rebody, involving Carrozzeria Carlo Marazzi and M. Gastone Crepaldi in the project. The resulting coachwork features angular lines and a targa-style roof, making it the sole surviving Zagato-bodied 330 GTC. It was displayed at the 1974 Geneva Motor Show and has since appeared at Pebble Beach and Villa d'Este, and is documented in several reference works on Ferrari.
