First introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 1966, the 330 GTCs have always offered the best balance between elegant, understated styling and state-of-the-art handling and performance of any of the Enzo-era Ferraris, and this 330 GTC will not disappoint. These cars are user-friendly and extremely pleasant to drive, even in today’s traffic, thanks to the light clutch and steering, the wide torque band provided by the 300 hp 4 liter V-12 and the tractability and balance that result from the combination of the rear-mounted transaxle and vibration eliminating torque tube. The 330 GTCs offer the collectability and passion of the Enzo-era Ferraris, combined with the technical sophistication of the rear-mounted 5-speed gearbox and an independent suspension with powerful four wheel discs. Like the svelte 250 GT Lusso of a generation earlier, the 330 GTC has very thin A- and B-pillars, giving the cabin an open feeling and incredible visibility from all angles. While many GTC owners have large collections of important Ferraris, their 330 GTC will often be the Ferrari of choice for driving events.
330 GTC s/n 10309 was the 294th of only 598 330 GTCs, delivered new in October, 1967 to Dino Ravasio & Figli, Verona, Italy. 330 GTC s/n 10309 next came to the US and in 1974 was registered to John Francis Besozzi of Torrington, CT who would own and enjoy s/n 10309 from 1974 to 2009, so thirty-five years of single ownership. 330 GTC s/n 10309 was sold to the second American owner on 08 April, 2009 who made the decision to fully restore s/n 10309 to the highest possible standards at a cost of over $415,000. 330 GTC s/n 10309 went on to her third American owner in 2015 and has been little used, with only 4,256 kms or 2,645 miles since the restoration.
The ground-up, rotisserie restoration was undertaken in April, 2010 by Bjorn Nordemo’s Sport Leicht Restorations of West End, NC, well known for their ground up restorations on 300 SLs and other Mercedes and was completed in Dec., 2014. The engine, torque tube and transaxle were rebuilt, the suspension was removed, re-plated or power-coated and rebuilt with all new bushings, seals, tie rod ends and ball joints. The brake system was rebuilt and new fluid reservoirs were sourced. The un-damaged body was stripped to bare metal and repainted in a stunning Blue Scuro (dark blue non-metallic) and the interior was re-upholstered with new foam bottoms covered with Cuoio Toscano leather on the seats, door and side panels, over tan Wilton carpet. The gauges were sublet for rebuild, every piece of chrome was sent out for new plating. The dash was recovered and the wooden face was refinished. The period Becker AM FM Grand Prix Stereo was sublet for an overhaul. With the engine out and the suspension off the car, the engine compartment side panels and the frame were refinished. The heater system, the cooling system and the A/C system were all rebuilt. The wooden steering wheel was refinished and the long list of restoration work done goes on, e-mail us for copies of the photo showing each stage of the restoration work. The total initial restoration cost $413,083.91 USD.
Today 330 GTC is a pride of ownership and user-friendly Enzo-era in elegant colors, ready to show at any Ferrari event. The body is mirror straight and the paint and interior colors are both handsome and elegant. All mechanical components, from the Weber carbs to the ANSA exhaust are all rebuilt or new. Panel gaps are better than new, all chrome has been redone, the Campagnolo ‘40414’ pattern wheels are fitted with period correct Michelin XWX tires that stand the car well. All lights, lenses and emblems are all new or restored.
The Cuoio Toscano leather on the seats, doors and side panels is to the highest standards, as are the top of the dashboard and the center console, both of which were also recovered in the correct black vynll. The instruments were sublet for rebuild with solid numbers and dark dial faces, matching overall with the quality of the interior. The trunk compartment is correctly carpeted. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment are detailed to a show quality finish and a new hood pad was fitted. The frame, wheel wells and underside of the car are as-new or better, with correct components, finished with an all-new exhaust system and heat shields, mounted on a full rebuilt and restored suspension and brakes. Having been a part of a large collection during the past six years, 330 GTC s/n 10309 has been kept very nicely detailed and mechanically tended to on an as-needed basis.
The car starts easily and settles into a smooth idle. The all-new exhaust note is nicely composed and delivers excellent sounds both at idle and going through the gears. Thanks to the ample torque, there’s never a lack of effortless power or performance. The new clutch and rebuilt brakes system operate as expected with the gearbox delivering smooth shifts and easy engagement in each gear. While 2nd gear syncro is often a major issue with these cars, it is very smooth even when cold. Driving is composed and balanced, pulling smoothly to high rpm without hesitation, showing excellent oil pressure and correct running temperatures. The car performs just as aficionado’s will remember from the Road & Track and Car & Driver roads tests of the period, long since validated by decades of GTC owners.
