Chassis 9781 is a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS — one of only 99 examples built — finished in the rare Nocciola over Nero Franzi colour combination. Delivered new via Luigi Chinetti Motors to a New York owner, it spent most of its life in California and Arizona, accumulating a documented competition history at Ferrari club concours events. Following accident damage sustained during a hillclimb in the late 1990s, it received professional bodywork repair, and in 2014 underwent a comprehensive body-off restoration costing more than $400,000, returning it to its original colour scheme.
