    If the climate changes enough, the Gulf Stream may die off and Norway could get even colder

    I thought that the side vent was unique to the 330GTC? While 365s have hood vents. I always thought that it would be nice to have both...

    That is the prototype 365 GTC with essentially a 330 GTC body and late 365 GT 2+2/ early Daytona style wheels.

    Hi. Just visited Menton yesterday. The town at the border between France and Italy. Spectacular nature and architecture. Fantastic beach walk with lots of restaurants, casino, marinas, vegetativ, people laying on the beach and a very relaxed atmosphare. I really fell in love with that place and even made a visit to a real estate broker. And quess what? They FID have something availible...... Just slightly out of my budget. About time to reorganizemy economy again to make it possible. :)

    Wish you all a great weekend.

    Best regards from Cote d’Azur.

    Taz, it's my first Ferrari, acquired from Luigi Chinetti Sr in June 1978, owned until August 2007 when it sold at David Gooding's Pebble Auction. It is indeed a 330GTC that the Commendatore had modified with a typ245 engine of 4.4 liters, for his friend Leopoldo Pirelli, CEO of his patronymic Company, making it the first 365GTC, the designation on the descriptive engine bay plate. Pirelli commissioned the hand-forged wheels from Campagnolo; they are 15 inch vs. the 14 inch GTC standard and are the prototypes for the Daytona wheels that appeared in 1968. I have personal correspondence with Sr. Pirelli to confirm the history.

    A lawyer friend was general counsel for Pirelli in the U.S. I had cocktails with him and mentioned this car. He asked me for a few photographs as he was going to Milan to see Pirelli. He returned, told me Pirelli said all Pirelli cars were silver, thus it couldn't be his car. I then sent him photos of the car taken before I repainted it. That's what led to our correspondence.

    The car was in the Petersen's Ferrari at 50 exhibition in 1997, also at Blackhawk and the Saratoga Automobile Museum.

    Here's the car in silver:

    They look fine here too, Erik. And I always enjoy seeing them as you travel through Europe.

    Seth- Thanks for the additional info. I always liked the 330 GTC (and Superfast 2nd series) side vents better than the plain sides on the 365 GTC.

    Hi Jürgen. Hope you are having a good weeekend. There is an account on Instagram «supercarpups» that you might want to check out. Quite funny actually.

    Best weekend regards from Enzo.
    (We looked at a new car yesterday, but since it was yellow, we decided it would be better to wait for a dark blue one.....). :)

    I still love Crema. It looks cool in dark light conditions. Would be cool to make blue Daytona inserts... But then the seats are not original anymore. Was the intention with the stitched holes in the leather that they would dissipate heat better?

    Well, I think Enzo is a dog with an excellent taste... The yellow one just doesn‘t fit his taste…

    Saluti,
