Unveiled at the 1966 Geneva Salon, the Ferrari 330 GTC offered a masterful blend of comfort and performance, capturing the best qualities of both the luxurious 330 GT 2+2 and the competition-inspired 275 GTB. Designed and assembled by Pininfarina in Turin before receiving its mechanical components at Ferraris facility in Maranello, the GTC shared the 275 GTBs steering, suspension, and five-speed transaxle. Its wheelbase, 10 inches shorter than the 330 GT 2+2, provided agility and a notably dynamic driving character that set it apart from other mid-century touring models.

Headlining the cars credentials was its 4.0-liter Colombo V-12 engine, producing 300 horsepower and endowing it with remarkable performance for such a sophisticated grand tourer, reaching 60 mph from a standstill in under seven seconds on its way to a 150-mph top speed.

Stylistically, the 330 GTC reflected Pininfarinas clean, balanced design language. Its forward section echoed the exclusive 500 Superfast with a slim ovoid grille, recessed headlights, and triple-louvered engine-bay vents, while the tail borrowed from the 275 GTS added visual lightness, complemented by slim quarter bumpers. Inside, the rear seats were replaced with a practical luggage shelf while exceptionally thin A- and B-pillars created an airy cabin with outstanding visibility all around.

The 330 GTC offered here chassis 9595 completed production on 6 March 1967, with subsequent mechanical fine-tuning carried out by Ferraris Assistenza Clienti department at Viale Trento Trieste in Modena. Originally earmarked for export to Switzerland as a left-hand-drive European specification with kilometer-calibrated instruments, the car left the factory presented as it is today in Azzurro (20336 A) over Nero Franzi trim. Ultimately, the car remained in its native Italy, being sold new to a Milanese gentleman before being exported to the United States in 1973 by Milan-based dealer Dino Armando Genghini.

Following its arrival stateside, chassis 9595 was sold in September 1973 to a Denver, Colorado, resident who retained it for approximately a year before it passed to an enthusiast in Phoenix, Arizona. After its tenure in the Southwest, the Ferrari came under the ownership of acclaimed civic architect Robert Bob Frasca.

A founding design partner of the Portland, Oregon-based Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects, one of the worlds premier architectural firms, Frasca played a critical role in the evolution of Portland as one of Americas most livable cities and was instrumental in shaping its skyline. He designed many of the Rose Citys most important civic projects, including Waterfront Park, the Multnomah County Justice Center, the Oregon Convention Center, and the Portland International Airport.

Frasca would cherish chassis 9595 for nearly three decades, with numerous invoices on file attesting to the cars maintenance under his care. The legendary architect parted with the Ferrari in 2014 before it was subsequently acquired by the consignor who promptly commissioned an extensive, nearly $47,000 mechanical overhaul by Dino Motors of San Rafael, California. Invoices on file reflect a meticulous rebuild of the numbers-matching engine, new hoses, clutch adjustment, electrical sorting, a fresh wood dashboard, and a host of additional fine mechanical corrections. Further work followed in 2018, when 9595 returned to Dino Motors for continued attention, including a rebuild of its triple Weber carburetors. The car is accompanied by a set of Campagnolo alloy wheels, a service file, and an assortment of owners books with leather pouch.

Supremely glamorous and consistently admired, this cherished 330 GTC exemplifies the elegance and balance of Ferraris mid-century grand touring cars, an example certain to delight its next custodian for years to come.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/az26/.
