Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Originally owned by Aristotle Onassis. Stored for some three decades after an old restoration. Poor repaint with flaws and prep work visible. Fair chrome. Chipped and scarred wheels. good newer upholstery. Dirty original undercoat in the wheelwells. Superficially recommissioned to run and drive across the auction block but big bills await the next owner.
Market commentary
Gooding & Company has enjoyed unrivalled success with long-stored and neglected cars, usually with an accretion of dust, dirt and other crud. The consignor cleaned this 330 GTC up and completely obviated the peculiar appeal of a scuzzy barn find. The bidders considered it as the rough GTC that it is, noted its voluminous needs and superficial old repaint and valued it appropriately as a neglected old restoration project.
