The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 made its debut in 1963 and combined avant-grade Pininfarina styling with outstanding V-12 performance. It followed in the footsteps of the prior 250 GTE 2+2, with more performance, a 50-millimeter wheelbase extension, seating for up to four occupants, and higher standards for comfort.

The Grand Touring Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 was powered by a Tipo 209 Colombo-derived V-12 engine, enlarged to 4.0 liters, and had a top speed exceeding 150 mph, making it the fastest road-ready Ferrari of the day.

During its production lifespan, lasting from 1964 through 1967, just over a thousand examples were built along two distinct series.

Mr. Belo had the engine rebuilt in 2008 at 82,250 recorded miles. In January 2010, Mr. Belo had the engine work completed, the engine compartment touched up, a new period-correct Becker radio sourced from Germany and installed, and new Pirelli tires fitted.

In mid-2012, Mr. Belo parted with his Ferrari after 28 years of ownership. The next owner acquired the Ferrari during September 2012 and applied a careful and consistent program of maintenance, with about $35,000 for the work, including rebuilt front seats with new leather covering, and attention to the clutch, charging, braking, air-conditioning, and underpinnings, plus installation of a new clock and speedometer, plus detailing of the engine compartment.
