Finally found a 330 gtc

Hi, Bruce - fellow GTC owner here.
You mentioned wrong oil filters. Which ones do you plan to use?
I believe the slant-ear knock off hubs are for the Borrani wheels, while the Campagnolo wheels came with straight-ear knock off hubs.

Hello Bob this is Bruce a bit of a mix-up, you see our friend Oengus has bot this beautiful GTC not me, I was just commenting on his new purchase. I am sure your information here will be well received.

 

Hi, Rosso!
Sorry about the mixup.
I figured I'd join in because of my GTC experience.
I bought mine in November, 1975, with around 40,000 miles. First V-12 sold by FAF Motorcars.
Over 196,000 miles and still an everyday driver.
I've done paint, upholstery, suspension rebuild, transaxle rebuild and engine major rebuild - nobody has worked on the car except me since I've owned it.

Hi Bob ,Oh yes I know I followed you for years and truly enjoy your posts ,at one time I was looking for a 330 GTC and learned quite a bit from your informative comments, no worries on the mix up, that is what this forum all about..

 

It's beautiful in Pino Verde. Congrats and enjoy!

 

fabulous!

 

thanks guys

 

Any chance you could periodically feel brave enough to post/share driving impression reports, especially “as intended” (i.e. Grand Touring) experiences, along with miles accrued during those occasions ?
Short distance, suburbia drives, like trips to C & C gatherings or local shows and pictures taken at them, etc aren’t really that interesting (at least to me) nor technically revealing about the car.

 

Absolutely I can, I did about 50 miles yesterday. Ive owned approx 15 ferraris and this one is the most comfortable Ive ever driven. The seat position as well as the drivers view(s) from all angles is amazing.

Ill be sending her in in a few weeks for a major service so I and it will be MIA for a while.

 

I love that color so much!!

 

yeah it’s pretty awesome .... I looked at a red one a silver one an odd red one and this one

it came down to this one and the off red one.
I went verde pino in the end lol

 

Chas,well done,to say the least. The red one at driver source was ..a roll of the dice..and that’s sorta intriguing in a way..but man green over tan is a TD. Keep up the good work. Cheers,RE

 

hey thanks Hoodude glad you’re doing well. Yeah the red one was a 440k roll of the dice... I only spent a few more pennies to get this one.... pretty much no stories to deal with lol

 

Congratulations , may it be your Holy grail

 

yes sir it is.....been looking for a long time, probably 12-15 years.

 

Congrats! This is also my favorite vintage F car. I wish I still had mine, despite all its issues . . .

 

Just got my Keith Collins floor mats....
Nicest mats I’ve seen. Have a set in my CS also....

very nice car - congrats on the purchase and we have restored 3 of these to-date, if you need anything - be happy to help.

Bob is correct - those are incorrect spinners - should be the straight eared ones vs the bent ears (used for wire wheels) .

 

thx Ed
Where/how do I find the correct ones?

 

let me see if we have any used ones available....

 

Thx Ed

 

This is a long way from that 308 out at NJB! One of my favorite models in a KILLER color! Best of luck with her.

 

thanks George!!
