Serial Number Year Model Ext. Color Int. Color
9315 1966 330 GT
Chassis Type
Tipo 571/65 Motor Type
Tipo 209/65 N° Gearbox
Tipo 571/1212 N° Differential
Tipo 571/66 N°
Identified as a 330 GT 2+2 Series II in PF records per H. Raab's FSN Part I.

The question is: Does anyone know little more about the accident?
The dealership can't provide pictures showing the damage and repair activities. (strange)
So we can't judge how deep the impact was.
Current pictures show a nice condition, even from underbody.

cheers,

Haven't we been here before!?

Wow, that was a pretty good shunt, considering the original poster is saying no evidence from the underbody. Skilled hands must've worked some magic on the chassis/body (if it's the same one...).

This car has been discussed before. Someone inspected the car here after the repairs and stated the quality of the repair work was excellent.

 

I really like the left and right photos.

As I recall, the accident occured because of a cracked wheel that caused loss of control.

 

Strange that the RF wheel broke and the RR tire came off!

Makes you think of all the cars on ebay where the seller posts pictures of only one side......could make for a surprise on delivery day!

Proves 100% that anything can be fixed ... no need to waste buy turning into a replica!

The fact that it has been painted black implies the work must be very good as that colours shows up any small blemish.

WOW! if the rest of the car looks like the photo that's amazing. It would be nice to know who did that excellent work!

So,.....was the car totaled after the wreck by an insurance company? If so, it will still be saddled with a salvage title forever unless somebody pulls a rabbit out of the hat and "cleans" up the history.

 

Arlie,

It was totaled.

Who cares ... if it was fixed properly then rock on.

I'd be more worried about cars with missing history ...

Well, the newer pictures (car now in black) show a proper underbody.
I didn't see the car in person and I can not judge from these pics alone.

Strange too: Car was sold to Mexico after crash for a short period of time.
It might have been repaired and painted black there.
Later it came back to USA an was sold at Hollywood, FL auction. (don't have the results)

What I can't accept is a statement by the dealer like: "I don't have pictures from the restauration."
Unbelievable to do a good repair/restauration without any proper documentation these days on a vintage Ferrari V12.
Only if I do something fishy, I 'loose' all the pictures proving the cheats.

hmmm,

that's quite a difficult area of destruction in the rear, one of the worst areas on a car to be hit and attempt repair. They must have had to cut the entire rear off, or nearly the entire rear, and graft on a clean section from a donor car. It probably cost nearly half of what the car was worth to fix, but indeed the results are nothing short of fantastic.
