Hi again. Your friend must be a man of means. They only built like 50 of that first run of 330GT 2+2s. The only 330 of note that I ever got to work on was one of the 330 LMBs. They only built 4 of those. They were like a 250 GTO with a slightly bigger motor. It was a beautiful car. I love the old Ferraris. *sighs*

I think FIAT owns Ferrari now. Fix It Again Tony!

What model was the Ferrrai in Ferris Buelers Day Off?

Hi again. The car was actually a modified MGB. They didn't bust up a real one like that. Something that a lot of folks in the United States aren't really aware of is that Ferrari didn't do year models, they did car models. Like that 250 GT Buono that I mentioned earlier, production began on the car in 1956 and it was completed in 57. They were the first mass production Ferraris. Between 1955 and 1958 Ferrari built 66 of them. They kept records by chassis numbers, not year models. That was how Enzo could homolugate cars for racing. You had to build a certain number of cars to qualify them as production models, instead of factory prototype, so Enzo would say that they are all 250s, which is the same model of car, when, in actuality, no two of them were identical. The 39 250 GTOs he built were kind of a shot at the sanctioning body. The GTO stood for Gran Turismo Omologato, which means Homologated Grand Touring. He never really built enough of a given model to qualify as 'production', but they let him get away with it.

The short version of the answer to your question would be 1961 250 GT California Spyder, but, Ferrari didn't do year models.
( and, it wasn't a real car )
