1964 330 GT 2+2 Series 1

Beautifull omg.

 

That thing is gorgeous!!!

 

What a beautiful piece ..... gorgeous !!!!

 

Stunning!

 

I always loved them, in particular the first series (Chinese eyes). Already at times when nobody really wanted them because of the four seats and good ones were obtainable at 50 grand or even less. Long past times .

Good luck with the sale for this beautiful car in particular having a paint color, which (I believe) suits this car best.

 

This car reminds me of another for sale at a NY City area dealer some years ago. Looks like the clutch/brake pedals are suspended (Ser. 1.5?). Someone will enjoy this Gt. Mjr

 

Stunning....

GLWS!!

 

Nice car, having owned two I'll offer a couple of comments. First, has anyone ever seen one that did not have matching numbers? Now that would be a first!

Second, S 1 cars have the advantage of having the 4 point engine mts - way more vibration into the cabin, but the S 2 has the 3 point system that causes an even worse drive train judder that 's really tough to fix. With the S 2 at least you get the 5 speed box instead of the 4 speed OD, although that really works OK. S2 styling is arguably better, but I like the crazy 4 headlight set up, that was the original design after all, the 2 headlight just was a marketing fix so it would "look like a Ferrari".

All these cars have the torquey 4 liter motor that is much better made than the earlier 250 - just look at the quality of the castings some time. Built for endurance racing and nearly indestructible, just don't ever, ever, take it over 7000 RPM or plan on dropped valves. They are heavy and a bit of a truck to drive, but remember they're a GT not a sports car.

But frankly, save your $ and buy a 365 GT 2+2 instead - infinitely better car in every way! Well worth the price difference. Used to be you could hardly give a 4 headlight 330 away - that was for very good reasons. Not all Ferraris are "great cars". These were always the "bottom of the heap" in the Enzo Ferrari pecking order and that ain't going to change any time soon.

 

Oh and the tool kit looks suspect, which is typical. Not sure about the screwdrivers, also the 330 jack should be yellow, 250 jacks were blue.

The 330 Register has a great post on correct 330 tool kits.

 

This car has had quite a deal of work on since I last saw it in Queensland,about 3 years ago.

Incredible story of how this car(and his other one's)came out of Africa.

 

looks fabulous in medium blue metallic; original paint?

 

Original colour,not the same paint on from the factory.

Hmm,actually looking at it more closely,when I knew the car,it was more gunmetal in colour.
I don't know if that was because of the condition of the paint though.

 

Interestingly,the other car mentioned by the critisizer,the 'Queen',was the only other car I looked at when I wanted an Enzo era car.
I had my Fiat era car,365 GT4 2+2,so therefore had all the attributes of modernity,power steer,aircon etc.
I found,compared to my 330,the queen,a ponderous,lurching old bucket.
To qualify that statement,though,my 330 suspension had been doctored to provide a great transition from track to road,by the bloke I purchased from.

The queen was too much like my GT4(without the lurching!) to warrant it's purchase,it also started to have Fiat influences as well,which was the point of going to the 330.

 

Not to step on anyone's toes but I don't think it is nice to get on someone's "for sale" thread and bash their car. 250 PF, I for one appreciate one's input on a car especially if they have owned a few in the past, and although you are entitled to your opinion and have every right to share your thoughts on a public forum, I would think this specific subject should be posted in "Model Specific" section were you can discuss why YOU think SOMEONE else should buy or not buy a specific car based on YOUR opinion. Telling people basically this car is a POS on the very same for sale thread is not gentlemanly like. But what do I know. I just discussed a topic in a for sale thread where it doesn't belong!
To the OP: Beautiful car and GLWTS.

 

Just to bounce in here,before this turns into a S#$tfight,250 PF did not bag the actual car for sale,just the 4 headlight model in general.

 

Wouldn't that be the same thing? My intention was not to start anything. Just pointing out the obvious. But here I go again discussing it on a for sale thread. My apologies to the OP for derailing this. Everyone carry on and have a nice day...

 

much better!

 

I can say my dream car for last 20+ years was 330 2+2 4HL-Interim. I wanted hanging pedals and the 5 speed gearbox. When I thought I was close to making dream come true in Fall 2012, i travelled to look at a 330 being offered and the dealership also had a 365QM. Back then, drivers were about $95k-$120k for each of them. I couldnt decide because sales-guy pointed out great qualities about owning each. Came home thinking about it and called a couple of days later to offer on 330, but both had sold. Then, the market took off and hasnt stopped since, pricing out of my reach. I learned a couple of things that weekend in 2012: (1) shouldve stuck to the dream; and (2) the old saying about drive them before you buy them, isnt true any more. Too many people are buying to flip or stash in a garage so these beautiful cars dont stay available long enough to travel across a country or half-way up a coast to test drive any more. I wanted a driver to spend fun time with new born in a coachbuilt la macchina!

Your car is beautiful. Remember, it is somebodies dreamcar. (I do require italian gauges to help entertain my italian wife when she is the piloti.)

 

Interim 330GT and early series 2 cars have hanging pedals and four mount engines on the plus side and steel floors (think rust) as opposed to fiberglas as a negative. While I have a series 2 in similar colors, I've actually always preferred the series 1 body style. Great cars! This one looks really nice!

To 250pf, have you actually owned each or are you just pontificating out of books and stats? A 330GT is a much rawer, tighter and more fun car to drive. Very much old school Ferrari chassis configuration. The queen is more of a great and elegant cruiser.

I saw this car in person this past weekend and it is beautiful and well taken care of, and an amazing find. I am shocked at the member talking bad about such a wonderful and what I feel is an under valued Car and one that will for sure double in value. I remember when people talked bad about the F40 and prices were $250K for one..... I snatched one up and now look how much you have to pay for one.

Bottom line...this car is not for everyone...just for the one person who sees the beauty of the car, it makes them happy when their behind the wheel and person that has the vision to bet on the future when others keep their hands tucked deep in their pockets playing with the lint in them.

Great car.....I'm still interested so maybe I'm that guy.
