This 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC is one of approximately 600 examples built during a three-year production run, and was delivered new to dealer Romeo Pedini of Perugia, Italy in November 1967. The car was imported to the US in 1972, where it remained with a single owner in Massachusetts from 1974 until being acquired by its current owner in 2018. The body is finished in gold over beige leather, and power is from a numbers-matching 4.0-liter Colombo V12 with triple Weber carburetors. Additional equipment includes a rear-mounted five-speed manual transaxle, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, 14” alloy knock-off wheels, power windows, and an eight-track stereo. This 330 GTC is offered on consignment by a Connecticut dealer who is being represented by the seller, and comes with a Marcel Massini report, recent service records, and a clean California title.
The 330 GTC was unveiled at the 1966 Geneva International Motor Show featuring Pininfarina-designed bodywork over a chassis shared with the contemporary 275 GTB. Front-end styling was similar to that of the 500 Superfast and included louvered fender vents, split bumpers, and recessed headlights, while the rear end shared the rounded profile of the 275 GTS.

According to the Massini report, this example was originally finished in Grigio Fumo but was repainted in its current gold after importation to the US in the early 1970s. The seller notes evidence of additional body and paintwork on various panels, and close-up photos of the finish are provided in the gallery below.
