Is there a 330GT badge? I have seen a 330 (GTC) badge....but can't remember ever seeing a 330GT badge. In fact when I was looking for my GT everyone I asked if they had or knew of a 330GT for sale said, "2 + 2?" I don't think there is that much clarity in only saying 330GT, probably helped in obscur...

I am not a 400 owner I have a 330GT. An earlier car which leads me to believe that your brakes would be better and more developed. That said when I bought the car I was quite happy with the braking of the two booster system which over the two years I have owned it (and driven it quite often) has deg...

I bought a replacement one of these jack hole plugs from Kilimanjaro (601)638-7856. As you mention about the steel in the "tails" of the plug were not of sprung steel (as far as I could tell anyway), and as such there was no way it was going to stay in. Parker suggested I silicon in the plug but in ...

Hi Steve, Nice car. Can you tell us how you got it and any other interesting stories about your ownership? As for your color question, you can write Ferrari and get the build sheets for your car. It is a bit of a bizantine, typically Italian, procedure and they are missing quite a few. However if th...

Funny you folks are discussing this now. I just last week went through Kerry's database on the four headlight cars and found about a 100 of the 400 or so Series 1's and Interums have been either turned into GTO's (mostly), or the the like, or parted out. And since parted out may mean turned into GTO...

Lennon's car is pictured on Kerry's site as it was for sale for a number of years. They wanted 250,000 British Pounds!!! It has a Webasto sunroof by the way which is a nice feature, though I hear they leak, and are noisey. Some on on this list was looking at a car that had a metal "Porche type" sunr...

I would be surprised if that existed. What probably came with the car was a 250GTE manual. The only 330 America ephemera I have seen is a one page sales sheet. Yale

I keep noticing 330 and GTE Ferrrais that don't sell or meet their reserve on ebay like that GTO recreation auction that just ended. Makes one wonder if the sellers don't really expect to be selling an over 100,000 dollar car on an ebay auction but are instead are really marketing their item to a wi...

Zac, My wife is an architect and tung oil fan, (she does a lot of projects with wood details), but she felt after looking at my dash that the tung oil will soak in and not allow any future owner to do something different. She felt I should get something non invasive that would sit on top of the wood...

Zac that's a great post! My dash has obviously been redone in a way I am pleased with in that it seems to have almost no finish. So do you think the tinted shellac will protect it? Does it need protection? What tint is tinted by the way? Is there something else I could put on it that would preserve ...

If it makes you feel any better Michael, I got my three point belts from Moss which supplies period British car parts, they have a warehouse in NJ. The belts did come with plastic covers for the mounting bolts but they came off and floated around the car after a year of two of use. Yale

Not what I meant. My thoughts was first car, second car, third car - not speaking about Series/Version numbers but instead the FIRST 330GT made, the SECOND 330GT made, the THIRD 330GT made. Compré.

And no room for some notes on history and condition, lets say a paragraph on each car?
