Ferrari 330 GTC GT 2+2 1965

General description : In February 2011, Maranello Concessionaire Archive (MCA) confirmed that left-hand drive #6135 was manufactured in 1965 and delivered to the USA’s chief importer, Luigi Chinetti Motors, New York. Their records show that they distributed the car to Otto Zipper Motors in Beverley Hills, who sold it to its first owner, Mr Robert C Rapp Jr. Conversely, in May 2011 Mr Rapp wrote that he in fact bought the car from Chinetti Jr. in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Fast forward to 1973 and the Ferrari had moved to Minnesota, registered with license plate '4JA 937'. After this date, it does not appear to have been registered for the road again until its arrival in the UK in 2011. Though much of the history is known, we cannot confirm that the mileage is correct; needless to say, there are many give away signs that aficionados could use to justify the stated mileage. Despite its absence from MCA records, #6135 retains its original engine and key mechanical components, and the numbers match the production records.
Between 2011 and 2012 #6135 was put through a very thorough cosmetic, structural and mechanical restoration. Still exceptional, she has covered less than 500 miles since the work was completed. The Nero leather was original and a good indicator of its care over the past fifty years, however it was decided that re-upholstering was necessary to maintain the restoration’s overall excellence.
It was completely repainted from bare metal and the resulting Verde Midio paintwork is of exceptional quality (although a crack has since formed between the lock and rear edge of the trunk lid).
Highlights include a full engine rebuild with new balanced forged piston and all new valves, guides, chains and seals; specialist gearbox overhaul including the latest factory upgrade to 2nd gear synchromesh; complete overdrive overhaul; new clutch plate, balanced with the flywheel; full rear axle overhaul with new bearings and seals; new suspension joints and bushes; brakes fully rebuilt with eight new cylinders, rebuilt master cylinder, refaced callipers, rebuilt servos and new pads and hoses; front shock absorbers serviced; steering box rebuilt with 'worm and peg' from GTO Engineering; carburettors cleaned and rebuilt and fuel tank de-scaled; radiator re-cored and new hoses fitted; new electric fuel pump and mechanical pump rebuilt; full new stainless steel exhaust system, downpipes and hangers; and wheels fitted with new spinners and Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Bills and a detailed listing come as part of the vehicle’s history file.

A delightful car to drive, #6135 inspires a high level of confidence in traffic, yet comes into its own when driven with enthusiasm on long country roads or cruising effortlessly at nearly any speed.
The 330 GT 2+2 is one of the last undervalued V12 60s Ferraris and is set to have a big future, making it not only a fantastic investment car to add to a collection, but also a classic that can be enjoyed by all the family.

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.
