    Congratulations on your purchase!

    There are a couple threads on this car in this section. I think you will have to search back about a year to 18 months to find them.

    Good luck with the car!

    This is what I can find in my database:

    no. 72 of 99 330 GTS's
    PF jobno. 175274
    US
    pino verde - palomino
    imported through Harrah MCM (USA)

    Could you please check and give me the engine's numero interno and the body no. (C....).
    The nearest bodyno. I have is from #175271 which has bodyno. C0376, so your should be in that range.

    Lots of pleasure with such a neat car.

    I love these cars, really good drivers. This one has been kicking around for sale through different people for years. Owner was determined to get unrealistic money on top of the fact that it needs extensive, expensive work. Hope you got a heck of a deal!

    Thanks Marcel I appreciate it. The interior is original as the person I purchased the car from was the second owner (Bob Sale). I was told the interior was Palamino.......but if I was describing it I would say it's butterscotch. I will post more pix when it gets here. The car was repainted once, but the original color can be seen with the door panel removed.......again, more pix upon arrival! Vince

    She is a beauty, nice find. I drove the example that Dr. Michael Liu has here in Salem, Oregon and it was wonderful. With the top down, awesome. It took me a few minutes to get used to the heavy steering, the pickup point for the clutch, and the gated shift pattern, not quite like in my 250 PF coupe, but an absolutely terrific car. Great fun to drive. Congratulations, take care of her. The paint color looks terrific.

    This 330 GTS had been "on and off" for sale in the Seattle area over a number of years. Most commonly thru Cosmopolitan Motors in the downtown district.
    It was indeed Pinot Verde (pine green) when I last saw it in 2006.

    I had been seriously looking to purchase it, but it went off the market. How did you come by it?

    It is verde pino not Pinot. Pino is Italian for pine (tree). Pinot as you know is a wine term.

    This could possibly be my old car. I had a Pino Verde 330 GTS back in 1974-1975. I got the car from well known Ferrari collector
    David Jamison in Atlanta Georgia.

    10789 was owned from 1968 to 2008 by individuals in Washington State (Seattle, Redmond, Renton, Bothell).
    Today it lives in Switzerland.
