Ferrari 330 GTC 1965
General description :
1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2
s/n 6927, Engine no. 6927
Bleu Sera with Beige Connolly Leather
Sharing many features with Ferrari’s highly-regarded 330 GTC two-seat road car of the same era, the four-seat 330 GT is a practical exotic ideal for daily or weekend use on family outings. Generally considered to have been available in two series, this car is one of only a few ‘interim’ cars featuring the mechanical updates (most notably a 5-speed gearbox) of the series II cars with the appearance of the series I cars. This car also has the suspended (rather than floor-hinged) pedals and electric windows of the later cars.
The matching-numbers 330 GT 2+2 presented here was built in 1965 and is one of only 125 "Interim" cars built with the desirable five-speed transmission. These were produced after 500 cars had been made with the earlier four-speed with overdrive transmission. It also sports the optional Borrani wire wheels. It was purchased new by Mr. Eisenschmidt in Lausanne, Switzerland, finished in Bleu Sera with a Beige Connolly leather interior. A previous owner brought the car out of long-term storage, acquiring it from a gentleman in Delaware who owned the car for 30 years.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
