Ferrari 330 GTC
“No other car in the world has the presence, the magic, or the history of a Ferrari.” - James May
Alain Delon, one of the most prominent figures among the "gentlemen" of his time, and a sex symbol for three decades, captivated Europe and beyond with his films, beauty, and elegance. Known for his exceptional taste in cars, Delon was often seen with his Ferrari 330 GTC, after he fell in love with the model during the production of his film "La Prima Notte di Quiete." Along with Delon, several other prominent figures cherished a 330 GTC, including Princess Liliane de Rethy of Belgium and Maria Maddalena da Lisca, wife of Pietro Barilla.
The 330 GTC was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966, where it received immediate positive feedback. The body, designed by Pininfarina, combined elements from the 365 California and 500 Superfast at the front and from the 275 GTS at the rear. The name “330” referred to the displacement of each cylinder, and was unusually displayed as a badge on the trunk lid. Before the 330 GTC, only few cars carried a badge designation, and those that did were typically special editions.
With a powerful drivetrain and refined styling, the 330 GTC achieved a balance that made it one of the finest grand tourers of the time. Comfortable, fast, and practical, it is now regarded as a benchmark for 1960s Italian GTs engineered for high-speed travel over long distances while providing a well-appointed interior for its occupants.

This Ferrari 330 GTC was delivered in 1968 through Crepaldi Automobili, the most prominent Ferrari dealer in Milan, Italy. The original color scheme was Argento Metallizzato (silver metallic) with a black Connolly leather interior, and it has been restored to factory specification.
The car was exported to the U.S. in the 1970s, where it traveled first to California, then to Salt Lake City. In the early 1990s, the 330 GTC was imported and registered in Switzerland.
The car underwent extensive restoration in 2017, including a body overhaul, and and an interior restoration, in black leather as per factory specifications. The underbody is well preserved, and parts of the suspension and braking system have been refurbished due to natural wear. A near-new ANSA Classic exhaust system has also been installed.
