    Details, details...

    330 GTC #10825, 23,700 original miles, one Arizona owner, 100% original, unrestored and rust free, all documents, receipts, tools, books, etc. from new.

    Some of you may remember seeing this car on ebay a couple of years ago. It flipped through three dealers in the last three years and spent some time most recently at a dealer in Belgium. Arrived two weeks ago, after a very long boat ride, to the Port of Oakland.

    Runs great, strong compression and oil pressure, but needs some deferred maintenance items taken car of.

    Color is…. Nocciola Metallizzato!

    The car and I will be at the Sunriver (Oregon) car show this weekend. Looking forward to a nice drive.

    Beautiful colour! Congratulations! Sad it didn't stay/sell in The Netherlands, but I'm sure it's found a good home. Nice pictures too.

    Ciao, Peter

    Well done! And don’t forget, you got it to drive it, not to make it perfect.

    Sorry Peter

    But if the dutch people do not want to spend money on a car like this we have to sell to the States.
    We have sold actually five Ferrari's to the States last month.
    And like you see, we have made somebody happy again in this world with a car to be proud of.

    YoUrs,

    Thanks guys!

    I'm absolutely keeping the car unrestored and original paint (despite the fading and minor flaws). I will attend to the maintenance and safety issues and then perhaps drive it to Pebble next year and spin some doughnuts on the fairway (kidding ;>).

    If you like a decent preservationist story here is a rather long one on my vintage race car: http://www.boxstar.net/Roadster1.htm

    BTW, which Ferrari club should I join as a vintage guy?

    Mark, congratulations on your new car! I would pick whichever club has the events you want to attend, which you can see from their websites. I've found the FCA to be much more active in the N. CA area than the FOA, so I joined the FCA.

    Congrats are in order!!!

    Non red cars are for INTERESTING people, individuals who follow their own path, away from the herd.

    It'll be a long drive to New Orleans from Portland OR, but Speedy308 made it.
    West Texas will definately free up the carbon deposits........LOL! ;)

    Congratulations, wonderful car!

    When you were looking for the car, what price range did you find the asking prices were in?

    I don't necessarily believe the auctions as there are behind the scenes activities, but real buyers are better data points.

    Also, were you only looking for GTC's, what other car price ranges did you find?

    Thank you

    Well, it's true that Napolis' cars are red, but they have white circles and various color stripey things on them, for visual relief..........:rolleyes:

    That makes it OK..................ROTFLMAO!

    Congratulations, Mark. I've always loved the 330 GTC, was fortunate to own one for a while. In many ways, I found the GTC to be warmer, more interesting and with more personality than my Daytona. I'd love to get another one, but their prices lately have ballooned out of my price range.

    Enjoy.
