The Ferrari 330 America holds a unique place in Maranello's history, bridging the gap between the revered 250 series and the subsequent 330 GT 2+2. Introduced in 1963, it was essentially a 250 GTE 2+2 chassis fitted with the larger, more potent 4.0-liter *Tipo* 209 Colombo V12 engine, a move necessitated by Ferrari's desire for increased power and torque in their grand touring offerings. Only 50 examples were ever built, making it a considerably rarer sight than its 250 GTE progenitor. This limited production run, combined with its transitional nature and the robust performance of its larger engine, cemented the 330 America's status as a desirable and historically significant Ferrari GT. This particular 1963 Ferrari 330 America, chassis 5039, is the 28th of those rare 50 units produced, a fact meticulously documented by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini. Its factory completion date was October 23rd, 1963, before it embarked on its journey from Livorno, Italy, to New York, NY, on October 30th, 1963. This is a numbers-matching example, originally finished in a truly stunning light-blue metallic, known as Azzurro Acrylic Italver, complemented by a luxurious blue Connolly leather interior. It presents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a seldom-seen piece of Ferrari's golden age.
