Like its coupe predecessor, the Ferrari 330 GTS spider variant capitalized on the 275 GTB/GTS chassis’ all-independent suspension, driveshaft torque tube, solidly mounted rear 5-speed manual gearbox and 4-wheel Dunlop disc brakes. But for a select few customers (one hundred, to be exact), the GTS also provided the thrill of open-air grand touring in the finest road Ferrari to date. Such was the brilliance of Pininfarina’s blending of the 275 GTS and 500 Superfast styling attributes that the convertible 330 GTS lost none of the model’s inherent elegance, but rather accentuated it instead. Featuring Chassis No. 11179 and Engine No. 11179, this exceedingly rare 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS is a very late production model, the 95th of 100 designed and built by Pininfarina. Optioned with electric window lifts, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio and rare factory air conditioning, the car retains its original 3967cc Colombo V-12 engine and further benefits from its desirable combination of Pino Verde Metallic paint, sparkling Borrani knock-off wire wheels and a handsome tan interior that retains the original leather upholstery and carpet. The car now shows just 27,490 miles, demonstrating its significance as a collector’s item that has been carefully preserved and maintained in superb condition. This 330 GTS was delivered new on April 18, 1968 to Montreal, Quebec, importer George Woolley, who sold it to the original owner, Denis Gaherty, Esquire of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Gaherty owned the car briefly, selling it on June 4, 1970 to Peter Hughes of Huron Park, Ontario, as documented by a sales tax receipt and inspection certificate dated 1970. In 1998, the car was offered by Ferrari of Toronto and sold to Alex Greenberg of New York City. Greenberg enjoyed the car until 2003, when he sold it into a private collection. This rare and especially well-preserved 330 GTS includes important documentation and accessories, including the owner’s manual leather pouch set with warranty booklet (in French), operating handbook, spare parts catalog and radio instructions, the original registration certificate and insurance card from 1968, a Bosch invoice dated August 28, 1968, the tool roll, jack, wheel chock and knock-off hammer, and maintenance invoices from Sport Auto LTD of Ridgefield, Connecticut, since 2000.
