The Ferrari 330 GTC was unveiled at the Geneva Salon in March 1966. The 330 GTC (Gran Turismo Coupe) was a union of the 275 GTB chassis and the basic engine from the 330 GT 2+2. The "open topped" Spyder version of the 330 was not introduced until the Paris Motor Show in May 1966, although it had actually been completed several months before the introduction of the GTC. Only a limited run of around 100 of the GT Spyder were ever produced.

Ferrari's engineers who worked on the 330 GTS managed to solve the alignment problems that had affected Ferrari's earlier 275 series of cars. They introduced a torque tube which formed a solid link between the front mounted engine and the rear mounted transaxle. This arrangement drastically reduced the number of engine mounting points and thus a new engine became necessary. The Tipo 209/66 was introduced exclusively for the GTC/S and was an all new unit with a revised cylinder block.

The 330 GTS is a combination of a 400 SuperAmerica front blended with a 275 GTS rear tail and the elegant body was designed and built by Pininfarina. To many, the 330 GTS was and still is one of the finest road going Ferraris ever built, the ultimate Gran Turismo. Not only does the GTS look amazing, it handles well, and is fast, quiet and comfortable. It has an incredible top speed of a touch over 150 mph.

This is Harry Mathews' favorite older Ferrari. It has the combination of beautiful styling, a comfortable and roomy interior and the great sounding V12 engine that gives one an all round exciting driving experience. Harry frequently drives this car at vintage rallies all over the USA and for these very reasons, long distance journeys certainly prove no problem.
