Widely regarded as one of the best-driving and most usable classic Ferraris, the 330 GTC is highly sought after today. These cars are extremely nice to drive, even in today’s traffic, because of the wide torque band provided by the 4.0L V-12 and the tractability and balance that result from the combination of the transaxle and torque tube. The cars perfectly combine the classic Ferrari essence with more modern technical features such as a rear-mounted 5-speed gearbox, disc brakes and independent suspension all around, as well as genuinely muscular powerplants. Air conditioning was also optionally available for the first time. Because of its elegant understated lines and classic Ferrari layout, the 330 GTC has finally emerged from years of under-appreciation. Just 600 330 GTCs were constructed between 1966 and 1968, and while many GTC owners have large collections of important Ferraris, their GTC will often be the choice car for driving events.

This particular car is a matching-numbers example that was constructed for the European marketplace and equipped with air conditioning and power windows, and instruments in kilometers. By the late 1990s, the car was in La Jolla, California, and was red with a cream-colored leather interior. Much more recently, within about the last 1,000 miles, the engine was rebuilt by John Hajduk’s Motorkraft Ltd., and the car is best described as a well-sorted car mechanically, with a nice driver-level cosmetic presentation.

The paintwork is very nice, over good, straight body panels, with excellent fit and door shut. The glass and lenses are excellent, and the chrome is very nice with minimal evidence of aging. This example retains the often-missing lower fiberglass radiator shroud, and it sits on Michelin XWX-shod Borrani wheels with correct knock-offs.

The interior was beautifully redone in 2013 in Cuoio leather with the correct black vinyl in proper areas. The carpets are excellent and correct, and the headliner is probably original. The car has been fitted with modern seatbelts, but the original aviation-style belts originally fitted are included with the sale. A proper, period-correct Becker AM/FM unit remains, and the power windows are functioning well. The factory-correct wood-rimmed wheel also remains, and the dash is finished in the correct semi-gloss varnish.

The engine compartment is clean and largely correct, but not detailed for show. Present is the battery hold down but no window-washer bag. The trunk is very nice with correct carpeting, a correct Borrani spare and a spare-tire hold down. The underside is solid and doesn’t show any signs of collision repair or rust repairs, but it is not overly detailed either. The exhaust system is in very good order as well.

This example drives well on the open road. The rebuilt engine sounds crisp and makes excellent power with no apparent smoke. The gearbox is also excellent, including second gear, even when cold. The suspension feels supple, although there is some minor play in the steering box.

Offered with a tool roll and owner’s manual, this 330 GTC embodies all the superb qualities that made it the very definition of automotive style and elegance in its time. Long a favorite among Ferrari connoisseurs who appreciate their excellent road manners and elegant styling, the secret around the 330 and 365 GTC is out, with a recent explosion in values. After years in the shadow of some of their less understated brethren, GTCs are now appreciated for their mechanical sophistication, performance, elegance and rarity. Just 600 GTCs were built, and this one is a high-caliber example.

From the sidewalk, this 1940 Ford looks pretty much as Ford intended it to. Maroon paint coats a steel body that is brightened up with all the right chrome trim, and the tan-painted steel wheels don’t seem out of place, especially with the wide whitewall tires, chrome trim rings and hubcaps; it gives the impression that it’s all FoMoCo. But looking closer, the slight rake of the front end becomes apparent and the glass seems slightly tinted from stock. The headlights are of the halogen design and the tail lights are from the school of LED. Then it fires up, which is when it becomes apparent that all bets concerning a factory restoration are off. The LS V-8 engine is packing a Wilson manifold, JDM Sport Nation fuel rails and a Spectre cold-air intake among other nice tricks lending it more power than Ford ever thought a ’40 Ford would ever know. A 4L60E overdrive automatic transmission works with a Ford 9-inch rear end to distribute the power, while an independent front suspension, power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes all conspire to make the Ford infinitely easier and more enjoyable to drive. The engine bay has been color matched to the body and the firewall has been smoothed over, all of which creates a fastidiously clean, uncluttered environment that anyone can appreciate. The interior is a study in subtle custom flair with tan leather upholstery, bucket seats, a custom center console with a Pioneer stereo, Vintage Air, Classic Instruments gauges and a tilt steering column topped with a banjo-style steering wheel complete with a V-8 horn button. With the modern drivetrain and air-conditioned interior, this Ford is ready to rock the scene—and thanks to an aluminum radiator, it’ll be hard pressed to overheat too, even on warm days in traffic.

Seria difícil reconstituir com pormenores a capital de São Paulo no ano de 1877. No entanto, se algum leitor de oitenta anos, ou mais, quiser acompanhar-nos num passeio através da nossa cidade tal como ele era há sessenta anos, poderemos ativar-lhe a memória. O triângulo era constituído pelas ruas São Bento, Direita e Imperatriz, não oferecendo, portanto, grande alteração. Mas na Rua Direita ainda se via a Igreja da Misericórdia e, da Rua da Imperatriz, entre os sobradinhos de uma travessa, ainda se viam, em ângulo, a igreja do Colégio e o Palácio do Governo.
Quem chegava ao Largo do Tesouro e olhava para baixo, via a meio da Rua Municipal, a estação dos “bondinhos de burro” e, lá embaixo, a chácara do Gasômetro, tendo ao lado o antigo “Depósito de Imigrantes”. Nesse tempo o Mercado Velho era ainda Mercado Novo, ou melhor, Praça do Mercado. Na parte alta do sobradinho da Rua da Imperatriz n. 10 havia um escritório de advocacia que ficou célebre. Não tinha placa, mas São Paulo inteiro o conhecia: era de Luiz Gama.
Naquele tempo, como durante muitos anos, quer para trás, quer para frente, o delegado de polícia era o Conselheiro Francisco Maria de Souza Furtado de Mendonça, que morou no Largo da Glória, em casa que ao tempo tinha o número 40. A Câmara Municipal funcionava no edifício do Palácio, pavimento inferior, junto à Secretaria Militar e realizava suas sessões às sextas-feiras, das 10 às 14 horas. Era seu presidente o Dr. Antonio da Silva Prado que morava à Rua Senador Feijó.
Os viajantes tinham os seguintes hotéis: o Imperial, na Rua do Ouvidor, de propriedade de Agostinho Pucciarelli; o Grand Hotel de France, na Rua Direita, esquina do Beco da Lapa [sic], cuja proprietária era Amélia Fretin; no mesmo beco havia ainda o hotel de Ângelo Fenili e o Hotel Europa à Rua da imperatriz, n. 51 e 56, de Carlos Schorcht. O Albion já existia, era de propriedade do negociante James Porter; havia também um Hotel de Paris de mme. Rosalie Boudrot, à Rua São Bento, n. 31.
O Correio Paulistano, de Joaquim Roberto de Azevedo Marques, tinha a sua redação á Rua da Imperatriz n. 27; o Diário de São Paulo, de Paulo Delphino da Fonseca, à Rua do Carmo, 65; A Província de S. Paulo, de Francisco Rangel Pestana, Américo de Campos e José Maria Lisboa, `Rua da Imperatriz, 44; a Sentinela, de João Mendes de Almeida, no Largo de São Gonçalo; a Tribuna Liberal, de Herculano Marques Inglez de Souza e Joaquim Taques Alvim, à Rua da Princesa, n. 20; a Revista do Instituto Politécnico, de que era redator-chefe Elias Fausto Pacheco Jordão. Ainda contava São Paulo com outras publicações literárias e acadêmicas e o Indicador de Abílio S. Marques.
Os elegantes eram vestidos pelos alfaiates de fama: Bougarde, Hell, Lang & Worms, Guilherme Krioner e J. Pourraly. Alugavam-se mobílias na casa de José Rubim Cesar, na Rua da Cadeia, n. 45, notadamente cadeiras austríacas para reuniões políticas, récitas particulares e bailes improvisados. Havia também “armadores de anjos de gala para procissões”, representados por D. Maria Benta à Rua da Boa Vista e D. Maria do Carmo Silva à Rua da Boa Morte. O bauleiro da capital era Antonio Peixoto de Carvalho no Largo do Palácio. O paulistano, fora de casa, tomava banhos no estabelecimento da Ilha dos Amores e na Sereia Paulista de José Fischer, à Rua São Bento, n. 1. Cortava os cabelos e perfumava-se na casa de Aimeé Quillet, à Travessa da Quitanda, ou na de Eugênio Husson na Rua São Bento n. 48-A. A primeira aliava à navalha os frascos de extrato e o segundo um belo mostruário de joias. Mas além dessas, contavam-se numerosos barbeiros comuns por todos os cantos da cidade.
Para se dar um passeio à Rua da Mooca, que era a Avenida Paulista da época, alugava-se um cavalo no Adão, à Rua do Comércio, no Miguel Justo à travessa de Santa Tereza, ou então, no Nicolau Gomes Pereira, à Rua da Esperança. À noite ia-se ao teatro. Mas para isso alugava-se um tílburi no ponto principal que era o Largo do Colégio, das 9 às 21 horas. Quando não funcionava o Teatro São José, no Largo de São Gonçalo, ia-se ao Provisório, do desembargador Bernardo Gavião. Mas o ponto da rapaziada era mesmo a Escola de Patinação, na Rua da Beneficência, canto da Rua Alegre. Era um divertimento caro naquele tempo, pois a entrada custava 1$000.Quem não tinha vitória ou caleça, voltava de bonde para casa, alta noite. Sim, porque debaixo dos anúncios de teatros lia-se sempre esta frase tranquilizadora: “depois do espetáculo haverá bondes para todas as linhas”.
