Description

1967 Ferrari 330 GTS No reserve Swedish registration Chassis no. 10781 Engine no. 10781 - Certified by Ferrari Classiche - Complete high-quality restoration by Cremonini, Toni Auto, RBBC, Maieli - One of only 99 built - Five known owners from the outset - Ex Greg Norman, Australian golf legend - Unreserved Compared with the 275 GTS it succeeded in 1966, the Ferrari 330 GTS (like the coupe version of the 330 GTC) boasts a tapered grille reminiscent of the "Superamerica", and a more accomplished mechanical design. In addition to a more powerful 4.0-liter engine (developing 300 hp at 7,000 rpm), it features a modified transmission: the transaxle at the rear is now connected to the engine via a thrust tube, reducing vibrations and eliminating the need for frequent driveshaft alignment checks. Of course, it retains its personality as a sober, elegant, fast and comfortable grand tourer. It is undoubtedly one of Ferrari's most discreet convertibles, its lines displaying a purity rarely equaled. One of the characteristics of the car we are presenting, one of the jewels in the W Collection, is that it has known only a limited number of owners. Another original feature is that it was sold new in the USA through Modern Classic Motors in Reno, Nevada, the dealership of Bill Harrah known for his spectacular car collection. Funnily enough, Bill Harrah is also behind a special version of the 330 GTS featuring a "targa" roof with roll bar, removable top and very tapered rear window. Leaving the factory in 1967, the present Spider 330 GTS is the 72nd of 99 examples produced. Red in color with black leather interior, the car was delivered new to its first owner, George Zenzefilis of Camarillo, California, who kept it for five years before selling it in 1972 to Robert Sengleman of Westlake Village, also in California. Particularly attached to his car, he used it for 18 years, then entrusted it to Barrett-Jackson for his January 1990 auction in Arizona. Between 1990 and 1995, it was registered in New York and owned by Greg Norman, an Australian golfing legend who owned a Ferrari collection at the time. From 1995, it was in the hands of a Californian enthusiast whose identity remains confidential, and it was thanks to the help of one of his close friends that our collector acquired it in 2014. This makes him the fifth owner, a particularly limited number for such a long period. The car then had 75,364 miles, which was probably its original mileage. After purchase, the car was sent to Maranello, Italy, to Toni Auto, a company opened in 1975 by Franco Toni, a former Ferrari racing mechanic who had also worked at Garage Francorchamps, the brand's Belgian representative. Silvano, Franco's son, has joined his father, and Toni Auto has built up a solid reputation in the field of Ferrari restoration. The 330 GTS was entrusted to them for a complete restoration. In good state of preservation, the body was stripped by the RBBC workshop, before being sent to Carrozzeria Cremonini near Modena, another workshop with solid restoration experience. The color chosen is "Blu Notte Metallizzato" (code M18943), a midnight blue that perfectly matches the magnificent design of the bodywork and will also be the color chosen by Staffan Wittmark for his 330 GTC. The chassis and body internals receive a satin-black paint finish, as befits their purpose, and all chrome hubcaps receive special treatment. Alongside the bodywork, Toni Auto also undertakes the mechanical overhaul of the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, steering and electrical systems. Once all the components have been reassembled, the car is sent to Interni Auto Maieli in Canedole di Roverbella for the upholstery work. The interior is completely refurbished with beige Connolly Vaumol leather (VM code 3218), combined with dark blue carpeting and a new black fabric soft top. A set of Borrani RW 4039 chrome-spoke wheels adds the finishing touch to the exceptional presentation of this 330 GTS, carefully checked and tuned by Toni Auto. It is accompanied by its owner's manual in its pocket and, like all the cars in the W collection, by an important historical file, its Ferrari Classiche certification and a book specially published to present its history and photos of the various stages of restoration.
