For car enthusiasts and collectors, the opportunity to acquire a piece of automotive history is a rare privilege. One such gem has surfaced on Facebook Marketplace: a 1962 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Prototype Coupe by Pininfarina. With a legacy that intertwines directly with Enzo Ferrari himself, this vehicle represents the pinnacle of Ferrari’s innovation and prestige.
A Legacy Born in 1962
The 1962 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Prototype is a cornerstone of Ferrari's storied history. Chassis no. 4085 was not only the first prototype of its kind but also served as one of Enzo Ferrari’s personal vehicles. Built in August 1962, it was held by the Ferrari factory for two years before being imported to the U.S. in June 1964 by Luigi Chinetti Motors, Ferrari’s first dealership in America. This car is listed on the 330 GT Registry as one of only four factory prototypes, with just two known to exist today.
An Engineering and Design Marvel
This extraordinary coupe is finished in a stunning Light Ivory color paired with a sleek black interior. Beneath the hood lies a powerful 4.0L SOHC V12 engine generating 300 horsepower, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The vehicle’s design, penned by a young Tom Tjaarda of Pininfarina, reflects Ferrari’s commitment to combining performance with unparalleled beauty. Its 2+2 layout and elongated wheelbase showcase the brand's early attempts to marry practicality with the sportscar ethos.
A Restoration Worthy of Its Pedigree
The vehicle has undergone a meticulous $285,000 restoration, elevating it to museum-quality standards. Restoration documentation includes original owner’s manuals, brochures featuring the car, period photographs, and detailed receipts for service and parts. Significant work, amounting to over $22,000, was performed in 2018 by a marque specialist, ensuring that the car retains both its mechanical integrity and aesthetic perfection.
Why This Ferrari Matters
Beyond its rarity and association with Enzo Ferrari, this prototype stands out as a milestone in Ferrari's evolution. It marked the transition from the 250 series to the 330 GT, introducing a longer frame, more power, and enhanced styling. Its role in Ferrari press materials and Leonardo Acerbi’s book Ferrari: A Complete Guide to All Models further solidifies its importance in the brand's narrative.

With Ferrari () becoming a dominant force on
the race track in the 1950’s increasing interest in the marque meant further
development of the prancing horses’ more practical consumer offerings. While
practical is not an appropriate word to describe any Ferrari, the company saw the
need for a proper 2+2 GT car and that resulted in the 330 GT 2+2, with the first
prototype assembled in the summer of 1962. Derived from the limited production
330 America, the 330 GT featured a new frame with a wheelbase 2 inches longer
than its predecessor which was heavily based on the 250 GTE. Despite the 330 GT’s
2+2 layout its shape was distinctly Ferrari with a long hood and short trunk with the
classic Ferrari profile. The genius shape was penned by a young Tom Tjaarda of
Pininfarina who joined the firm in 1961 at the age of 27. The Colombo V12 engine

330 GT 2+2 today has a special moniker in Ferrari circles as it was one of the very few production cars that Enzo Ferrari drove personally with two of the prototypes driven by him as his personal cars.
