Italian Car Show In San Diego

Took my 330 to the Italian car show in Little Italy, San Diego this weekend. Thought you might enjoy some photos. The local Ferrari Club was there in force with some really spectacular cars. I apologize, but I did not get any serial numbers. There were two great looking 2+2's and an amazing 330 GTC ...

Italian Classics At Menghini Winery - Memorial Day Weekend

Thanks for all the input. I have posted some better photos of my 330 so you can appreciate why I am wringing my hands over the restoration. http://s58.photobucket.com/albums/g278/bgaldston/Sub-Directory/ This car (s/n 5939, in answer to David Booth's question) was stored in a garage with the right s...

Thank you all for your input. David Booth asks a very tough question, so I'll answer Yale's question first. It may help me formulate a response to David's Lecanian inquiry. The car was found out of complete happenstance. I woke up very early one morning, got on the Internet and started trolling for ...

Italian Classics At Menghini Winery - Memorial Day Weekend

I thought the group might enjoy seeing some photos from the Julian Motoring Society's annual car show at the Menghini Winery in Julian, CA over the Memorial Day weekend. Obviously, this collection cannot rival the jewels assembled in Virginia, but it was only an hour's drive away and the owners I me...

Thanks Zac & William - I appreciate the advice.

Ed - you are quite right - it's a 4 headlight. I must have been a little over-eager with the "2"s (2+2 ... 2222). Long day, no proof-reading.

Sleeping Beauty (S/N 5839) Awakens!

On January 3rd I posted news of my "barn find" - a 1964 330 GT 2+2 2HL RHD - serial no. 5839 - in original blue with cream (beige) interior. This week we've brought her back to life with a decisive roar after several years of garage slumber. Miraculously, the engine and drive-train are in incredibly...

Thanks to all for your kind words of support and encouragement. I will write up the full history of the car as I sort through the receipts and paperwork and post it with Tom Yang and the 330 registry. The documents from England are really a kick. The British have such a way with words; they can make...

And so the journey begins ...

Just made it home through absurd Southern California traffic with a real time capsule: 1964 330 GT 2+2 S/N 5839 RHD 4HD. Seller used to work for Caroll Shelby and owned her for 30 years. She's beautiful, complete, and totally unmolested; albeit long-neglected in a Whittier garage. Blue with beige in...
