During its first 10–15 years of existence, Ferrari transitioned from a boutique builder of road cars to a genuine small-scale manufacturer. This growth meant more revenue to spend on racing, and it necessitated the evolution of Ferrari road cars from barely disguised race cars to something that would appeal to discerning buyers beyond the adventurous types who tolerated the uncompromising nature of early road-going Ferraris. The 1960 introduction of the first four-seat model, the 250 GTE, cemented this change. Interestingly, it accommodated back seats not by lengthening the wheelbase, but by moving the engine forward, and when it came time to replace it for 1964, the 2+2 had become an important enough model to warrant a dedicated longer wheelbase.

The new car, the 330 GT 2+2, used a 4.0-liter variant of the venerable Colombo V-12, providing a level of torque that made virtually any task effortless. The model also introduced new Pininfarina design language at the rear of the car, which would later be echoed on several other models, while a controversial four-headlight arrangement at the front remained a one-off treatment that eventually gave way to more conventional front-end styling in 1965. Retrospectively termed the Series II, these later cars also gained a five-speed gearbox and numerous detail changes. Regardless of variant, the 330 GT 2+2 delivers the performance and exciting mechanical bits that define a Ferrari in an elegant and understated package that could accommodate a young family intent on doing some grand touring.

This Series II 330 GT 2+2 Coupe was originally finished in black and is equipped with Borrani wire wheels, air-conditioning, Becker Europa radio, and electric windows. First delivered in Italy, the car was relocated to the US by the 1970s, where it has remained since. The car spent nearly 40 years on the West Coast, during which time it received a comprehensive restoration by Rod Drew’s highly respected shop Francorchamps of America Inc. (FAI). At that time, the car was repainted in dark blue and the interior retrimmed in parchment leather with Blu Scuro (Dark Blue) carpets, a fantastically elegant combination that perfectly suits the character of this car. The restoration was completed in 2016, and the car has been used sparingly and carefully maintained since.

With a front-mounted, 300 hp, Weber-carbureted V-12, the 330 GT 2+2 Coupe still represents one of the better ways to cover ground. This example sits near the top of the desirability hierarchy for the model as a Series II that is unusually well-optioned, comprehensively documented, and beautifully restored, making it the ideal example to both show and drive.
