This particular example is chassis number 9653, the second example built. Dr. DeBakey accompanied King Leopold and Princess de Réthy on a visit to Maranello. While touring the Ferrari factory, he placed an order for the 330 GTC Speciale. Work began in August of 1966. It was internally designated by job no. 99676 and received the hand-built body number C0174. It was finished in Azzurro Aurora (Aurora Blue) with black leather upholstery, blue cloth seat inserts, and blue carpeting. It was originally equipped with air-conditioning, power windows, instrumentation in miles, a chromed front grille guard, and Borrani wire wheels.
Prior to being delivered to Dr. DeBakey, the Speciale was retained for promotional duties. It appeared in several press photos and was put on Pininfarina's stand at the 37th annual Geneva Auto Show held in March 1967. Other cars displayed at the Pininfarina stand included a 365 California Spider and one of the three-seat 365 P Berlinetta Speciales.
Dr. DeBakey retained the car for just a year before gifting it to his brother Dr. Ernest DeBakey of Mobile, Alabama. Carl De Bickero of Chicago purchased the Speciale in 1973, overhauled the car's engine, and then sold it, in January 1974, to Norman Silver of High Point, North Carolina. It remained with Mr. Silver until 1983 when it was sold to John Mecom Jr. of Houston. In 1991 it was sold to Peter Sidlow of Los Angeles. Shortly after acquiring the car, Mr. Sidlow commissioned a complete, concours-quality restoration. After the work was completed, it earned several important honors, including First in Class and the Luigi Chinetti Award at the 1992 FCA Annual Meet and Concours as well as a First in Class at the FCA Vintage Ferrari Concours at Concorso Italiano in August 1992.
The current owner acquired the car in 1993. It has seen little use over the past two decades and has not been exhibited in any major concours d'elegance since 1992.
The car is powered by a 3,967cc SOHC V-12 engine fitted with three Weber 40 DFI carburetors and delivers 300 horsepower. There are a five-speed manual transaxle and four-wheel Girling disc brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2018
