1967 Ferrari 330 GTS Convertible Coupe

This 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS was assembled in early 1967 and was the 28th of approximately 100 330 GTS to be built (as few as 99). It left the factory finished in Grigio Fumo over PelleBleu hides, and was ordered by Luigi Chinetti Motors of Greenwich, Connecticut, and built for the American market. It arrived in the United States in April of 1967 and its original owner is not known. By 1975 it was owned by Guilbert Dybvad of Racine, Wisconsin, and by 1979 was owned by Michael Buxbaum of Los Angeles, California. It was listed for sale in October of 1980 in Ferrari Market Letter where it was described as having 20,000 miles on the odometer and in original condition. In 1988 it was listed in the Ferrari Club of America's roster as being in the collection of the Andrew Cohen of Bel Air, California. It remained with Mr. Cohen for over a dozen years and was shown at the 26th annual Ferrari Club of America National Meeting and Concours at Stouffer's Pine Island Resort in Lake Lanier Island near Atlanta, Georgia in June of 1989 and again at the Rosso Rodeo Concours on tony Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills in June of 1995.

Mr. Cohen sold the 330 GTS in September of 2001, and at the time it was still in unrestored and original condition with 45,000 miles. It was purchased by Reed Harmon of Palos Verdes, CA who soon enlisted Norbert Hofer of Grand Touring Classics in Long Beach, California to commence a three-year restoration of the car during which time the car was repainted metallic silver. The work was completed in time for the 2004 Monterey car event, the only event Mr. Harmon would display the car. At the end of 2004, it was sold to Bill Lawarre of Santa Barbara, CA, who kept it through March of 2008, briefly entering the garage of Roger Hoffman before being acquired by Stephen Frary in 2008, who showed the car in Monterey.

Just before Thanksgiving in 2008, the car entered the care of its current owner and brought back to the East Coast for the first time since it arrived in the U.S. many years prior. In January 2012, it was shown at the 21st Palm Beach Cavallino Classic where it won the Gold Award. After the show, the car was stripped to bare metal, repainted Oro Chiaro, and all other issues which prevented it from earning Platinum were rectified. During this time it received the Ferrari Classiche Certification and Red Book arriving in October of 2012. The car returned to the Breakers for the 22nd Cavallino Classic in 2013 where it earned the Platinum Award. It was then shown at the 29th Annual Reading Ferrari Concours d'Elegance in May of 2013 where it was awarded the Francesco Baracca Award (Ferrari of Exceptional Merit).

Currently, the car has 50,952 miles on its odometer.
