Just drive it: ’67 Ferrari 330GT 2+2

If you are at all tuned into the collector car world you have heard the noise about cars selling for Matisse money. Just the other day, someone bought a Ferrari GTO for $52 million. An impressive number for sure. And we hope the number is so insignificant to the buyer that the car remains on the road. We’ve heard that some folks are being a little more careful about cars that suddenly have become a major part of their portfolio. For example, you may have been smart enough to buy a Ferrari 250GT Lusso 25 years ago and kept it. You are not a multi-millionaire but your 5 figure Ferrari investment is now approaching 7 figures. Will you take it on the next New England 1000? Probably not. This dilemma shines spotlight on some 2nd tier cars that might never be worth that kind of money but in no way will they be less fun to own and drive. So we set out to find an example and this is what we came up with. It is one of Enzo’s favorite daily drivers – a 330GT 2+2. It is the more desirable single headlight version replacing the awkward quad version (that turns out to be not so awful with age). This car looks and sounds pretty good but with vintage Ferraris, you must have an expert do a Pre-purchase Inspection. Here are the faults against this one. No service receipts other than a recent $10,000 bill. No history and no tool roll. Sort of in order of importance. It is a color change from Avorio to Rosso Rubino and that is a bit of a problem but not so much if it was done well. We think it has the original engine and transmission and most things are said to work. The Borrani wire wheels are a big plus if they are in good condition. The interior doesn’t look bad at all. The PPI will tell you yes or no. You might be able to buy this one for the price a fully kitted-out new S-Class. But you can’t drive the New England 1000 in one of those.
