The 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 represents a pivotal moment in Ferrari’s grand touring evolution, marking the transition between the distinctive quad-headlight Series 1 and the more classically styled Series 2 variants. This transformative year in the model’s history makes these particular examples especially intriguing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
At Beverly Hills Car Club, our extensive experience with these transitional-year vehicles has positioned us as leading experts in the acquisition and sale of these sophisticated grand tourers.
The 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 was first introduced at the Brussels Shows in January 1964 and was intended to replace the four-seat Ferrari 250 GTE as a comfortable and luxurious Grand Tourer. With a 2-inch longer wheelbase, the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 offered more legroom and headroom, especially for the passenger in the back. The addition to several other improvements, Koni adjustable shock absorbers improved the handling and the new all-around disc braking system made for a very easy to drive and comfortable car. The Series II version of the Ferrari 330 GT features a five-speed gearbox instead of the four-speed overdrive from its predecessor, and the earlier twin-headlight instead of the four-headlight configuration. Other distinctive changes are the three-piece scoop design of the new side air vents and the 2-mount positioning for the engine and hanging pedals. The 4-Liter V12 engine was fitted on the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2, giving the car a decent amount of power for its era.

Classic Ferraris of the 1960s are highly prized and regularly break records at auctions. The 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 is no exception, especially for mint-condition models with famous owners and historic documents. If youre thinking about buying a 1965 Ferrari 330 GTS 2+2, here are a few items to look at that will add value to the car. Check for correct matching numbers, issuance of Ferrari Certification done by an official Ferrari factory service agent, original leather glove box book, and a robust owners history. Multiple sources indicate that only 424 cars produced have the correct matching numbers and the issuance of Ferrari Certification. With so few made during the short production run, added to the fact that each example is hand-made and Ferrari often made special editions, each car will be unique. This adds intrigue to the brand and has helped make Ferrari a truly loved classic by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This distinctive production split adds an extra layer of complexity to valuation and marketability that only seasoned experts can properly navigate.
