330 GT 2+2 Series I built 1964, sold Jan 65!
Came across this today on fleabay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FULLY-LOADED- ... 4d07e7d728
Books sell individually for several hundred quid, so thats about £8,000.00 for a paper tag
Shell is now sitting on a new chassis with wheels!

At $175,000 USD it will still probably need a £125,000 GBP rebuild.

Thats just plain internet motoring Porn, Dermot.
Your shot was the "after".......here's my "before"
One of the reasons I went for a 330GT is that it has the SAME Chassis, engine, suspension, brakes etc as a 250GTO
But in a more practical 2+2 Pinninfarina dress. Enzo himself had a 330GT as his private and preferred Ferrari.
Problem is since 250 GTO's now fetch over £30 Million, more and more 330GT's are getting broken (parted out) for spares or Donors for 250GTO recreations (250GTO re-body) as a consequence the price of parts far, far outweighs what a car is worth as a whole. For example you could buy a 330 and sell JUST the engine alone for more than the car cost you, and the Chassis too is worth nearly the same as a complete car. Purists are holding onto 330's and businesses are simply breaking them
Soon there won't be many left and that's when a £200K car becomes a £3Million car. They only made 43 RHD cars and half have already been broken for spares.
Certain Ferrari's like "Motorshow" cars are Uber rare, and fetch much more money.
Like maybe a certain white RHD car that is being restored at the moment.
