1968 Ferrari 330 GTC
- Engine
- 4.0L V12 SOHC, three Weber 40 DCZ6 carburetors, ~300 bhp
- Colour
- Dark red ('Amaranto')
Ferrari 330 GTC chassis 11427 is a 1968 example finished from new in dark red Amaranto over a Nero Franzi interior and factory-fitted with air conditioning. Delivered in September 1968 to its first owner in Italy, the car was subsequently exported to the United States in 1972, passed through several American owners, and later returned to Europe where it spent roughly three decades in Switzerland. A recent comprehensive mechanical refurbishment has returned it to full driving condition.
