Upon its premiere at the Brussels Salon in January 1964, the 330 GT 2+2 was intended to be the grandest of tourers. It was designed to cruise effortlessly across Europe and was luxuriously appointed to carry its occupants down the autostrada in style, while also ticking all of the usual Ferrari boxes in terms of performance. As per usual, Ferrari’s engineers kept pushing the envelope in order to create a car that would provide even better performance, as well as luxurious appointments that their discerning clients demanded. Enter the 330 GTC.

The 330 GTC was introduced in Geneva just two years after the 330 GT 2+2, and it embodied the best of both worlds between the comparatively plush 330 GT 2+2 and the more hardcore 275 GTB. The 330 GTC used the same steering, suspension, and transmission as the 275 GTB, and these features, coupled with a wheelbase that was 10 in. shorter than the 330 GT 2+2, made the GTC much more dynamic to drive. Perhaps the most sporting characteristic of the 330 was its engine. The 330 GTC’s Colombo V-12 produced 300 hp and had a top speed of 150 mph, with a 0–60 mph time of under seven seconds. The 330 GTC was definitely no slouch.

Design elements from the car’s ancestors are evident in the bodywork, as the 330’s tail was first used on the 275 GTS, and the body, which is ahead of the cabin, is very similar in style to the limited-production 500 Superfast for the second variant. With the shorter wheelbase, the 330 GTC lost its rear seats and gained a rear luggage shelf in its place. Like the beautiful 250 Lusso, the 330 GTC had very thin A- and B-pillars, giving the cabin an open feeling and incredible visibility from all angles. At the end of the 330 series’ production run, total numbers for the GTC stood at 598.

The 1967 330 GTC offered here was built during the second year of production and was originally finished in Oro Chiaro Metallizato over a beige leather upholstery. Sold new in Ferrari’s home market of Italy to a Mr. Ferrini, it was also optioned with factory air conditioning and electric windows. Those features no doubt proved to be strong selling points when it was exported to the U.S. in the mid-1970s. Subsequent owners in Pennsylvania and New York put about 33,000 miles on the 330 GTC, the latter of which had the engine rebuilt before it was acquired by the current owner in Oregon, at which point it was painted red.

In 1995, the car was displayed at the Rosso Rodeo Concours d’Elegance in Beverly Hills, but it has otherwise largely remained out of the public’s eye. The current owner has put about 5,000 miles on the 330 GTC since acquiring it; the 58,800 miles shown on its odometer are believed to be original. In 2017, it was treated to an extensive interior, exterior, and underhood cosmetic restoration by a well-known Nethercutt restorer and refinished in its original color of Oro Chiaro. Additionally, its air conditioning system has been recently gone through and is functioning as new.

With its thorough recent reconditioning and low mileage, this 330 GTC is ready to be shown and enjoyed.
