Corsia Car of the Week: 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC

What do you think of when you hear “Ferrari”? Exclusivity, style, power…but never “bridging the gap”…

Meet the 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC

At the Geneva Motor Show in 1966, the world received the favor of the Ferrari 330 GTC. The new luxury station wagon inherits the exquisite style of the 330 GT 2+2 and the power of the 275 GT Berlinetta, thus connecting the essence of the two worlds. It may represent your love for this Italian car manufacturer. The 330 GTC has the same gearbox, steering system, and suspension as the 275 GTB.

The powerful 300-horsepower Colombo engine propels this luxury station wagon to a top speed of 150 mph, accelerating it from 0 mph to 60 mph in 7 seconds. Even by today’s standards, it is impressive.

Design

In terms of design, the wheelbase of this model is short, sacrificing the rear seats to replace the luggage rack. The cabin layout allows for extraordinary views from all angles. This car aims to conquer European (not only) roads with style and speed. The ultimate road adventure or romantic weekend getaway along winding mountain roads-there is a no better “partner” than the 330 GTC. The chassis number of this 1968 Ferrari 330 GTC is 11279.

Legacy

According to Marcel Massini, the world’s greatest Ferrari expert, the car entered the United States in 1973 when New Yorker Philip Faust bought it from the original owner in Rome. Since then, it has changed owners and underwent some upgrades and modifications, all of which have helped maintain its beautiful appearance and ensure that it works on the buttons. We found this beauty in one of the editions of Monterey Car Week, and we are glad we did.

So what comes to your mind when you hear “Ferrari”?
