Well I took my 330 out for its annual clean up and exercising this morning and lo and behold my clutch went out. When I first pulled the car out the take up point seemed rather high in the travel and as I drove it a bit that point gradually moved down the travel until the clutch would no longer disengage. Seems like a fluid leak but didn't find any drippage. Before I pull it into the work bay and start investigating it in earnest, I thought I would see if any folks here would care to opine.
All the best,

Re: 330GT clutch
Jim Sounds like the clutch master cylinder failed (assuming no leaks and fluid in the system) several threads here and on Kerry's site on how to repair, M

HI Jim,
WHen you have the car up in the air, have someone depress the clutch and see if the clutch lever at the bell housing moves. If it doesn't move, you have a hydraulic issue.

Tom and Michael,
Thanks for the input. It is indeed a hydraulics issue. Decided to send my baby to Studio 47 in New Albany, OH for repair and annual maintenance regime. Tom, thanks for being the 330 guy you are!
