    I like your criteria! I really like the period colors for this car. Good luck with search, I imagine the recent elevated price headroom will flush some out of the woodwork!

    Not exactly easy to find, your wish list. My car garnishes praise everywhere it goes and is the best that I personally know of, but doesn't meet your criteria (non-original colour & interior).

    Best of luck!

    That's well into 365 territory...

    - Not red or yellow.

    Spot on! Don't really like the verde medio on the posted car but almost everything is better than giallo fly/solare or rosso cina.

    09867 sold at Gooding this past August at $275k inc buyers premium. Nice mark up and indication of the market trend if they can get their price.

    I would not worry about a non original color as long as its an original color that was available for that year/model. Not a problem value wise to pick a different color for even a 250 SWB or California. This would expand your choices but if that is what you personally want then it will take some more searching.

    What is good? When I bought my 330GTC there were many examples for sale in "concours condition" for $75k less than I bought mine. They were good from far, far from good. The 'almost there' cars are usually the ones that make you spend the most. You buy the car thinking it's good, and another $100k later you're finally happy.

    Auction results, BTW, are not a definition of where the market is. The best cars tend not to be auctioned and sell for a lot more. I thought I knew what a decent GTC cost when I started looking. But I had no idea.

    Finally, of course, the car was not sold.

    "Auction results, BTW, are not a definition of where the market is."

    Well neither are asking prices of car dealerships. Of course differences must be made between a platinum awarded vehicle and a car that "looks fresh and everything works".

    This particular car has been sitting at Lamborghini Houston for almost half a year. Here's the Gooding result, highbid was $250k.

    Adding $74k to its total auction price tag is pure speculation but if they can get it, good for them. The question is when.

    "Good" is hard to discern, even with a PPI.

    IMO the US market for a high quality 330GTC, if you can find one, is over $300k.

    Perfectly true, most of the best cars are also not sold through those channels. I was trying to make the point that most of the best are never advertised and go through private channels, often via a broker. They change hands before the general public ever knows they are for sale. That is how I bought my GTC - it quite surprised some people at the Ferrari club when I rocked up in it - they had known the car for 2 decades but didn't know it had been sold.

    What I found out when I bought mine is that if I had used recent auction results to make an offer, the door would have been closed for me to buy it, forever. Thankfully I was a bit more tactful. A lot of these guys have been in this market for many, many years, and they know how difficult it is to find a quality car. They don't like people who haggle, and often don't have to sell. Which is why their prices are quite a bit higher, usually. Of course, this only works if the car is really much better than other cars out there.

    Quite an ignorant remark, sorry for the harsh words but your remark was also quite harsh for non-red owners.

    1. What is "the correct shade of period red?" There are many shades of red from the '60ies: Rosso Cina, Rosso, Rosso Rubinho, Rubinho Chiaro, Amaranto, Rosso Cordoba, I'm sure I"m missing a couple.
    2. According to 330gt.com, only 12% of the 330GT 2+2 was delivered in red. I have absolutely no reason to think the spread for the 330GTC was any different. Mine certainly wasn't red when new.

    The idea that roadgoing Ferraris should be red is only developed about a decade after the 1960s.

    28% of them are blue! Wow, I had no idea.
    Very encouraging that I might find a nice blue one some day.

    This cheers me up in a way only we blue Ferrari owners can understand. :)

    No need to apologise for your response, but every time I see one of these cars painted a colour other than red I ask my self why would anyone want a Ferrari other than red, the colour just goes together with the marque so well which ever model. To me it seems almost sacrileligious to have a Ferrari any other color, can you imagine going to London and seeing a blue, yellow or purple London bus ?
