    Hello,
    I'm actually restoring my 330GT Chinese eye and was wondering what's the original color of the engine cooling fan.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!

    I had a 330 GT, Series Two.
    The fans were painted silver.
    Same color on my GTC.

    Guy; Before you accept the above answers, you need to tell us WHICH cooling fan you are talking about. Some 4-Light 330 GT's have TWO fans, the mechanically driven fan behind the radiator and an electric fan in front of the radiator.

    If it is the electric fan, the blade made of magnesium and it is painted BLACK. The blades are black so they blend in to the color of the radiator and are not easily seen through the grille from the front.

    i have original electric fan motor used on the 330 GTC - the color is light green hammertone - called rosemary

    check the " built as is guide" by clete......no reason the gt cars are different for gtc.....

    lucas was the brand - box type motor - same as the ones on the jag, except different color.

    as far as the BLADES go - i have seen both silver and black.....

    then you only have to change the 2 wire connectors to let them spin in the other direction
