sn#10199 black/red--anybody know the car? Thanks in advance
Found this auction reference on the web. http://www.**************/Pics?viewCarPic=y&source=carGal&carID=551&pgID=1&pID=979418 Edit: Hmm... no idea why the web address can replaced with all asterisks. Do a google search for this (don't but the apostrophes around the text in google): "viewCarPic 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Coupe 10199"

Did this car live somewhere near Ohio at some point? I seem to remember a 330GTC in this color combination with non-matching numbers that was very nice (this goes back probably 18 years) from that neck of the woods.
I saw this car at the RM auction, and to me, my gut told me it did not appear to a top 330, so passed on the bidding. Also, I am not fond of black on black with 330's, so that may have also influenced my perception.

Looks like the green car is still for sale at Lamborghini Houston. Seems like there are several on offer at the moment (including 10199). http://www.emcars.com/vehicle/3434873/1967-Ferrari-330-GTC-Los-Angeles-California-90064 http://www.indigoautogroup.com/web/new/Ferrari-330-GTC-1967-Houston-Texas/2290631/?condition_id=-12 http://www.heritageclassics.com/inventory/detail/814-ferrari-330-gtc.html And the Fantasy Junction car. So many choices ....
"And not as many "on the market choices" as one would think..... " I meant to be facetious and did a poor job. A handful for sale world wide - demand is strong, prices rising. 10575 at FJ is perhaps the best maintained car one could find, 20 years with Patrick Ottis (no affiliation to car or shop).
YES! (since mine is already gone, this looks the next best. And multi + for P.O.) Anyone check on the 2 @ Autosport?
i saw/drove the silver car at autosport - it was incredible. it had just had a cosmetic restoration and recent engine rebuild/other mechanical work. i think that was probably the nicest car on the market (if you like restored cars). it was basically a new 330gtc.
Curious, as to why you wouldn't want a restored car rather than one with a lot of deferred upkeep? IMO, the point of these cars (or any car) is to drive it. It seems to me the point is: would one rather drive a car that is reasonably dependable vs. something prone to breakdowns?
Steve, my comment was more generic than specific to one single car. Granted a 50k mile car may not have a host of issues if it has been well attended to. There are, however, many cars that are in need of attention, the idea being the owner may opt to drive it as it is and put off replacing or fixing worn parts that really should be attended to. Case-in-point is a nice looking 365 that the owner spent close to 100k on. It still has leaking shocks (though supposedly rebuilt not long ago), leaking a/c compressor, leaking rear main seal, leaking trans, numberous dents in the floor pan, rust in the front valance, etc., etc. I would much rather (for the same or close to the same money) buy a restored car v. having to deal with the deferred, pushed aside, or needed work of such an original car. BTW, miles were low.
Certain people value originality and patina more that "new". So this car had brand new leather, paint, etc. I like restored cars. Others like cars with patina.
To me, a car that is 30-40 years old will always have issues---unless they are one owner cars. I have bought two Ferraris in the last 2 years---both were restored previously. This said, there were still issues that mandated spending thousands of dollars to correct. Really, unless you hit the Ferrari jackpot, how can you expect a car of that age not to be in need of something or other?? And, they never are a $500 repair bill !! Ken Goldman
