    I've been asked by a friend to assist getting his late father's 330 back on the road. It's been sitting in
    a heated garage for 10+ years. "Ran when parked". I've got some experience with many 60's Italian cars, Alfa, Lancia, and Ferrari so he asked for some guidance. We will be going through the fuel, electric, and brakes etc.
    I haven't purchased Ferrari V12 parts in decades so looking for a parts source. Plug wires, brake rebuild kits etc. I know that some of these parts cross reference to other makes, like the Dunlop brake rebuilt kits.
    Does anyone have any recommendations for suppliers?

    330 America 2+2? 330 GTC Coupé? 330 GTS Spider? 330 GT 2+2? Series One or Series Two? 330 LMB perhaps?
    Chassis number? Photos?

    Thank you.
    209 is not the motor number but the motor type.
    8655 was sold new by Chinetti November 1966.

    I would try T Rutlands/Motion Products. Every time I get parts for my 360 there are vintage cars and parts for them everywhere.

    I doubt he's willing to part with that one, but I'll ask.

    So after the initial survey, there is no evidence of any furry critter infestation, a lot of surface grime, little to no corrosion, original paint
    except for the drivers door. Very nice original interior, wool carpets not moth eaten.

    Clutch reservoir is dry, (slave leaking?) Didn't check for brake or clutch pedal feel.

    Hope to get the car on his lift in a week or two, presently occupied by his Fiat Spider getting new timing belt.
    Plan will be to focus on engine first. Drain fuel tank, change oil, plugs, scope the bores, new fuel lines and all filters, etc.
    He's got an initial parts list and when they arrive I'll post some updates.

    Found this photo on the 330 Registry site which looks to be 8655. It is listed as 10193 (last 330 GT built) but the fog lamps, mirror placement, and antenna point to 8655 not 10193.

    Both cars were the same color and lived in the same neck of the woods. 10193 was sold by EG in Pittsburgh to a buyer in Cleveland(very late 1990s IIRC).

    Yes, and both were at my father's car show in 2010.
