Details

This 1964 Ferrari 330GT 2+2 #6227 is a four-headlamp Series I car with a matching-numbers Colombo V12 #6227 and a four-speed manual overdrive transmission. The car was sold new by Garage Francorchamps in Belgium and eventually made its way to North America. Just 503 of these Series I cars were built; this example has undergone a three-year cosmetic refurbishment finished in 2015. The original 4.0-liter Type 209 all-alloy, single overhead cam V12 engine has had all three of its dual-throat Weber carburetors rebuilt and a new fuel pump fitted. A new quilted hood pad was installed, and the valve covers and air cleaner were refinished. The block stamping shows matching engine #6227. Car and Driver magazine in 1965 noted the 330 GT's high-speed handling characteristics, stating the 330 GT was 'smooth as glass at anything over eighty.' The 330 GT 2+2 today has a special moniker in Ferrari circles as it was one of the very few production cars that Enzo Ferrari drove personally, with two of the prototypes driven by him as his personal cars. This car is optioned with a wood-rimmed steering wheel, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, ANSA Marmitte exhaust system and 15-inch Borrani chrome wire wheels.
