A 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II, chassis 08485, completed at the factory on 13 May 1966 and originally finished in Blu Chiaro over Beige for an Italian client in Naples. Powered by a 4.0-litre V-12 with triple Webers, the car was later exported to the United States and passed through several enthusiast owners in Michigan and Illinois, accumulating a documented competition record at Ferrari Club of America events. It retains its original numbers-matching engine and factory air conditioning.

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.
