1967 Ferrari 330 GTS Convertible Coupe

The Ferrari 330 GTS was unveiled in October of 1966 at the Paris Salon. It was a spider variant of the 330 GTC introduced earlier that year in Geneva, and only 99 examples were built over three years. Power was from a four-liter version of the Colombo V-12 engine.

This particular example was in the care its current caretaker for 37 years. It was completed at the Maranello factory in April 1967, equipped with instruments in miles, finished in Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow) paint with a black interior, and fitted with Campagnolo alloy wheels. A month later it was at Luigi Chinetti Motors in Greenwich, Connecticut and soon sold to its first owner, Benjamin Bailar, a resident of New York. In the early 1970s, it was acquired by Donald Fong of Atlanta, and he sold the car in 1974 to David Jamison, also from Atlanta. Mr. Jamison had the car fitted with Borrani wire wheels. It passed to another Atlanta-area resident before being offered for sale in the Ferrari Market Letter by collector Alan Woodall in late 1981.

The current owner acquired the car in the summer of 1982. The aging Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow) exterior was immediately refinished in a coat of black. The interior was subsequently reupholstered with proper Connolly leather and Wilton wool carpeting in beige, and the top was accordingly re-trimmed.
