Soon after the Ferrari <\/a>330 GTC\u2019s unveiling at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show<\/a>, Ferrari introduced a companion Spider variant: the 330 GTS. The GTC and GTS were built on the same tubular chassis, which was very similar to that of the contemporary 275 GTB. In fact, all three cars featured the same mechanical layout, incorporating a fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a five-speed, rear-mounted transaxle with torque-tube driveshaft. The GTC and GTS were equipped with Ferrari\u2019s magnificent four-liter, two-cam V-12, which delivered a genuine 300 bhp at 6,600 rpm and an impressive torque curve. Designed and built by Pininfarina<\/a>, the 330 GTS was the epitome of mid-sixties GT styling. The harmonious, understated design was a successful update of the popular 275 GTS<\/a>, incorporating a new frontal treatment inspired by the 500 Superfast, Ferrari\u2019s most exclusive gran turismo.<\/p>\n

As would be expected of a $15,000 Italian thoroughbred, the 330 GTS was built to the highest standards by old-world craftsmen. The cockpit was beautifully finished with bucket seats trimmed in Connolly leather, a wood-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel, and an attractive wood-veneer fascia with the full complement of Veglia instruments. When Road & Track tested the 330 GTS in August 1968, they found that the new model offered a healthy improvement in all-out performance when compared to the 275 GTS. Although it did not accelerate quite as fast as the 275 GTS\/4 NART Spider (their test car was one of two alloy-bodied examples), it reached a higher top speed, had better low-end torque, and was more refined. The editors were so impressed with the new Ferrari that they encouraged readers to \u201cgo ahead, give yourself a treat, buy one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Completed in 1967 and finished in Rosso Cina (China Red) with black leather upholstery, this 330 GTS, chassis 10703, was delivered through US distributor Luigi Chinetti Motors<\/a> to its first owner, Emil Martini Jr., of New Jersey.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
