1967 Ferrari 330 GTS
- Engine
- 4.0L V12 short-block Colombo, triple Weber carburetors, 300 hp
- Colour
- Rosso (red), originally 'Blu Sera' (dark blue)
One of just 99 examples produced, this 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS was bodied by Pininfarina and originally finished in Blu Sera over Arancia leather — a rare factory colour combination. Dispatched from Livorno in July 1967 for the US market via Luigi Chinetti Motors, it has been documented by marque historian Marcel Massini and retains its numbers-matching engine and gearbox. The car spent 46 years under single-owner care, receiving consistent mechanical attention throughout.
