This isa perfect everyday driver without the stress of putting miles on an original engine or worries about hugely expensive tune-ups or rebuilds.
BACKGROUND ON THE 330 GT SERIES:Among the fastest appreciating Ferraris with collectors, he 330 GT 2+2 cars are the successor to the 250, nd were first introduced by Ferrari in 1963at the Brussels Auto Show.It was much more than a re-engined 250, owever, ith a sharper nose and tail, nd the Series I's controversial quad headlights, nd a wide grille.All 330 models used an evolution of the 400 Superamerica’s 4.0 L Colombo V12 engine. It was substantially changed for the 330 cars, owever, ith wider bore spacing and the notable use of a true alternator rather than a dynamo generator. Unfortunately, aintenance and rebuild costs on these engines is extremely high, esulting in many owners limiting their enjoyment of these wonderful cars.
The vasty improved and highly coveted 1965 Series II version – like this car – featured a true five-speed gearbox instead of the overdrive four-speed of the prior series. Other changes included the switch to the more popular two-headlight instead of the quad-light front clip.Only 455 examples of the handsome and upgraded Series II 330 GT were built before the 365 GT arrived in 1967.DETAILS OF THIS CAR:Overall this is a very nice 1967 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II that is a pleasure to drive, ith great sound andperformance. Its handlingand ride is what one would expect to find in any well-maintained classic Ferrari, nd could be drivento any car showorcross country without worry.This particular Series II 330GT 2+2 Series II is one of very last 330's built. Adding to its rarity, any of these cars having been parted out for 330 GTO andother Ferrari replicas, nd there are now very few in existence – especially in this condition.
This was a California carand delivered to Florida where the restoration was left in the hands of Pathfinder Motorsports. I wanted a Ferrari that was original as possible, ooked and drove great, nd that could be used everyday without worrying about the expensive-to-service Ferrari engine or putting too many miles on the odometer. I decided to have Pathfinder create the nicest classic Ferrari ever powered by a non-Ferrari engine.

The previous owner – a famous Ferrari collector – had removed the original 12-cylinder engine and installed it in his 330 GTC.Fortunately he had only removed the engine; everything else was there, ncluding the excellent condition original 5-speed transmission.In 2015, athfinder Motorsports installed a fresh andingeniouslycamouflaged light-weight aluminum LS-1 that was made virtually indistinguishable from the original,includingcleverly modifiedOEM valve covers and proper dual oil filters.The installation used all the original Ferrari driveline components, ncluding the original transmission, rive shaft, ear end, nd more. The engine was tuned to a relatively mild 350 hp – with an output between that of the original Colombo 330 street engine and a full-race 4-liter engine.A custom Ferrari-spec all-stainless exhaust was built by a well-known supplier of original Ferrari exhaust systems and tuned to sound as close as possible to a Ferrari 12-cylinder.Also important was to have the engine compartment look and remain as original as possible. Therefore, o new holes were cut, ll original factory wiring was retained, ustom functional dual oil filters as found in the original were installed. The idea was to make an aesthetically pleasing engine compartment that compliments the rest of the car. The new owner can install a Ferrari 12-cylinder engine, r keep this one and never worry about engine mileage or maintenance costs ... ever!
