Chassis No. 7335 Engine No. 7335 (internal no. 1210) Transmission No. 123/65 Chassis number 7335 represents a rare and desirable “interim” example of the 330 GT 2+2, combining the first series’ four-headlamp front end with the upgraded five-speed gearbox and suspended pedals introduced on the second series. According to a report compiled by marque historian Marcel Massini, the car was completed in October 1965, finished in Nero (Black) with matching upholstery and was delivered new through Auto Becker in Düsseldorf, Germany. The car was later exported to the United States where it appeared for sale in Virginia by 1981. Later that year, the car was purchased by Brent D. Kennedy of Salt Lake City, Utah, who in turn sold it to Adam P. Leighton of Jupiter, Florida, in 1983. By 2006, the Ferrari was back in Kennedy’s possession before returning to Europe under a new German owner in 2007. Today, 7335 is presented in the lustrous shade of Verde Metallizzato (Metallic Green), an uncommon and sophisticated color seldom seen on the 330. The restoration, carried out under previous ownership, presents wonderfully with its dazzling paintwork showing off to great effect all the subtle curves of the Pininfarina body. Along with fine strips of chrome around the windows, lower body edges, and the front and rear lights, broader areas of chrome including the bumpers, grille, and Borrani wire wheels create jeweled reflections in the paintwork. Inside, the cabin has been completely renewed with quality Nero leather, with neat areas of carpet and wood offset and outlined by strips of beveled chrome. Mechanically, the matching-numbers engine has been fully rebuilt by respected Dutch Ferrari specialist Piet Roelofs, with careful retention of as many original components as possible. According to Massini’s research, this example retains its original Tipo 209 V12 engine (no. 7335, internal no. 1210), while the suspension, brakes, and underside are all reported to be in excellent order. Too often overlooked beside their more exotic siblings, Ferrari’s grand tourers—exemplified by the 330 GT 2+2—were conceived as stout, long-legged passenger cars with a classical, polished presence. Their appeal is quiet confidence rather than spectacle, or as Cavallino magazine put it, “This was a car not meant to impress the locals or terrorize the neighborhood, but one which would, we feel, transport a group of self-confident people from the townhouse to the country house, from the country club to the yacht club—all in relative speed, safety, and comfort.”
