Ferrari 330 GTC - BTS with DTS - Ep. 6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2021
- Nearly everyone who has spent a lot of time driving vintage Ferraris ranks the 330 GTC near the top of their list of the best-driving classic Ferraris. Nearly everyone else doesn’t know what the 330 GTC is.
Yes, it’s a two-seat front-engined V12 Ferrari, just like we still have today, but for the entire duration of its production (and the production of its nearly identical replacement, the 365 GTC), there were two two-seat V12 Ferraris available, initially the 275 GTB and then the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. These latter two cars are the cars whose descendents we know today, cars like the 550 Maranello and 812 Superfast. So where does that leave the 330 and 365 GTC, particularly given that it’s a model line that had no predecessor and no successor?
In this video, Derek Tam-Scott explains where exactly the 330 GTC fits in the Ferrari hierarchy and why it’s such a special experience today, and how it owes its existence to some of the greatest Ferraris of all time, including the 250 SWB and GTO, as well as the 275 GTB and the racing prototypes of the first half of the 1960s.
BTS (behind the scenes) with DTS:
Derek Tam-Scott’s spirit age is excess of 75 years old, and nowhere is that clearer than his taste in cars. At age 16, he went to work at one of the United States' foremost vintage car dealers, which cemented his elderly taste. Now with a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving, and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced many of the world’s most iconic cars. And even liked some of them.
Most of the car enthusiasts of Derek’s generation (and well, let’s be honest, even a generation or two before him) don’t have much experience with the magic of vintage cars prior to the 1980s, and therefore lack the knowledge and exposure to get genuinely excited about them. The goal of BTS is to give an insider’s perspective on why these cars particularly are great...or at least interesting and noteworthy. Derek brings his encyclopedic knowledge and broad experience together to contextualize these cars to give the audience understanding of both why it matters, and what it’s actually like to experience the cars.

My dad bought a used 330 that looked exactly like this when I was a teenager. At the time it cost him CDN $17,500. I remember him replacing a good chunk of the exhaust system that was shipped from the factory. He liked to do his own work.
I never got to drive it, but he made it up to me by loaning me the car he bought to "come down" from the Ferrari: an Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV, which I used as my own for almost a year.
They were both silver with red leather interior, within a year in age, and utter delight on winding roads in Ontario and the Gatineau Hills of Quebec. Fond memories. Thanks.
What I love most about this series is that they are not rushed. Not every second and and every moment needs to be filled with scripted speech. I find this way of story telling quite fitting especially for older vehicles like this since both require time to enjoy and appriciate. Thank you 🙏
Fully agree ! It’s how Petrolicious USED to be… More of these.
And not a single useless burnout in sight that's refreshing too
Yes, always thoughtful and well paced.

Video starts with birdsong in a forest, DTS approaches an elegant 1960's Ferrari in silver. As the door swings close, a thin metallic clank rings out. DTS turns the key, hits the fuel pump and fires the engine, igniting a cacophony of mechanical joy. He then drives off along a curving forest road.
By this point of course, I've already liked, commented, subscribed.
The intro was a beautiful piece of filmmaking, and the whole video patiently balances between sharing ride-along experience and informative narration.
This was excellent. A massive thank you for sharing.
I appreciate this way of storytelling, there is something melancholic, fragile about it. I love older cars and for me, vehicles like the 330 GTC are simply art, which I appreciate more as time progress.
"Sir, this car has been reported as too fabulous for you to be driving it...please step out and take off your shirt."
He has such a way with words, the car is beautiful in every single way and the filming and direction are unmatched. I may never even see one of the gorgeous machines but for a single moment I was transported to the passenger seat of something truly amazing. Thank you.
Perfectly put indeed 👌🏻
As always, a beautifully told story of a wonderful car, shot and edited with finesse and care. True enthusiasts sharing their enthusiasm.
I had the privilege of driving one once. In period they were called “The Italian Mustang” which was neither a compliment nor a criticism, just an observation. Dynamically it was not far off from my ‘66 Shelby GT350-it was roughly the same size and shared similar proportions, and had about the same level of performance. The suspension was slightly better, but only slightly. The interior materials were obviously superior but the ergonomics were slightly worse. The engine note was completely different of course, far more musical and engaging. Outward visibility was about the same. Trunk space was better (although not as good as a Mustang coupe). Even though they were intended for a completely different type of customer, they achieved the same mission in just about the same way. Both are magnificent cars in their own rights.
The reason the original Mustang was such a sensation. It has finesse. Such a lost pleasure to sit in the vinyl seats in the strangely spacious cabin of a 65 Mustang.
I imagine the Ferrari is very similar with that Fiat/European practicality and style.
As far as sound: I’ll give you the “musical” part, but I’d say the sound of a high performance small block Ford stretching it’s legs is one of the most “engaging” sounds in motordom! Less Vivaldi more Van Halen!
The v12 i imagine makes it much more drivable on a back road
Ferrari V12s from the late 1960’s sounded so good…..a symphonic melody of intake, combustion and exhaust. A sound so sweet it could transform your soul. I miss Ferraris from this generation.
Back in 1987 I looked at one for sale. Silver over blue, very nice condition, $26,000. Ended up getting a Maserati Ghibli 4.7 for $17,000. The Maserati was the better looking, the Ferrari the better car.
These videos are easily the most special car content that's currently being produced. All of Issimi should be exceptionally proud!
Derek isn't nursing that car around and that is the highest compliment I can pay this video.
Dream ferrari, such lovely lines, perfectly proportioned, and the rear, just wow.
It just so damn gorgeous. A friend of my father's had one in fly yellow. It was the first time I'd ever seen a Ferrari, and when he visited our home, I would go out to the driveway and just look at it from every angle. These were the experiences that shaped the exotic car nut I am today. Amazing film, beautifully shot, gorgeous Ferrari...perfect.
This is exactly what I want from UA-cam. And how I would imagine a perfect car. 60s V12 understated and glorious driving experience!! Thanks DTS! You rock!
This is such a cool video. I love how they don't just go over the car, they go into its history. why it exists. why its special.
Shame so few people will get to see this, YT will bury it. I'm so glad that they keep making them.
Ein wirklich stilvoller, geschmackvoller Sportwagen, der einfach eine ruhige Eleganz ausstrahlt . . . ( Wunderbare Proportionen ! )
Today, I fondly remember cars because of what I was doing while I owned them.
In the past, cars are fondly remembered for what the car itself was doing while owned.
In our current state of cars, being so far removed from the mechanical aspect of vehicles, we have lost some of the greatest treasures of motoring.
I believe in hyphen Scott supremacy. Great video as usual.
I love that the gear lever is so high. Also, price aside, it seems to be the 'perfect' classic all rounder. It's a 12 cylinder, fast but not 'get arrested' fast. Comfortable. Beautifully subtle. Easy to work on or at least get to stuff & sounds great. I think someone already said this would compare to a Shelby Mustang GT350 of the same era. I'd be inclined to agree. These two cars would be great together or against one another.
You want to kid me?! These two cars are at least a galaxy apart.
High tech meets low tech.
@@gtdriver7423 - they both get to a specific place but take different journeys.
I have always had great respect for the 330 GTC ever since I saw one in the metal many years ago… having known of the oh so famous and better known 275. This piece really does deliver in encapsulating a true masterpiece of gentleman’s GT. You sir really do put together the most wonderful pieces of film and truly bring the audience along for the ride with perfect description and emotion and importantly educated knowledge. Absolutely this filmography is up there with the best- if not the best. Congratulations on bringing us along as if we were right there with you…. Love from the 🇬🇧
Perfect spec on that example. Great cinematography too.
Ah.. the beautiful 330 GTC. What a glorious machine it is. This fabulous car is wonderfully filmed in this homage to it. One of the most beautiful Ferraris to wear the badge, it simply exudes style. And that mechanical noise it has is intoxicating. The interior is perfectly executed. Whilst the 275GTB is the more striking car, the 330 is an everyday car. In fact there's a chap here in Melbourne who does that. His mint green example is glorious. As the author says, "If you know, you know".
The way the beauty builds through the video via the filmography and music is terrific
I wanna cry now. Stunning video!
The long nose 275 and this 330 GTC are my favourite Ferraris. The shape is so beautiful.
Un-red indeed, these looks best in silver or blue. My favourite classic road going Ferrari.
You're killing the edits now, no more sound level issues, and the cinematography is somehow getting even better.
Probably one of the most beautiful cars ever built!
I’m always confused - this is the behind the scenes, where’s the main video?
behind the scenes of life
With production like this, who needs a main video? 🤣
The cinematography, the visuals, the music and the vocals are just perfect. Well done.
The exhaust tones that come from classic sports cars is better than any song on the radio.
My favorite part about this particular car is. All the touch ups from rock chips on the front end.
This cars used as it should be. Not tucked away in a garage. Never to be allowed to prance on the open road.
The silver is just stunning...
Such an amazing video. I love how you can translate so well how a car feels into words. This video series is as timeless as the cars in it. The slow pace, calm shots and fantastic sound makes it a great viewing experience. Thank you for these great videos
I absolutely love this series! Every episode contains so many details about the cars and the pictures are just breathtaking!
Please never stop making these, so many iconic cars left to cover! 😉👌
YES THAT'S HOW YOU DRIVE A FERRARI!
Simply gorgeous! Amazing video, greetings from Italy brother!
I always learn something from your videos! Actually, I learn a lot.
the door closing sound! wow
Nicely done, Derek. Keep 'em coming.
Killer video!!! Love the how you tell the history of the car and manufacture.
I always like watching DTS shift - over hand grip to get it out of gear, transitioning to a textbook "palm the shifter into the correct gate" motion
Finally...I’ve been waiting for another one of these. What a series!
An elegant review, from an elegant enthusiast of an elegant automobile. Well done sir. One of my favorites.
I genuinely do not understand why these are not as loved as the 250 models. For me, this is the perfect older Ferrari. It’s got everything you need and it’s just staggeringly beautiful
Guys... your videos are outstanding ! By far the best car reviews available. Thank you so much for your brilliant work to present these cars with the right and detailed information in a perfect choreography
Thank you for this video!!! I love the way you cut and edit your films!!! Thank you!! Your new Subscriber Los Angeles California
Great video and amazing beautiful cars. Can't wait for the next video already.
What a gorgeous machine. Great video sir
Perfect channel, deserves a lot more
wonderful video. Is this on Tunitas Creek and Alpine road near San Gregorio CA. The GTC as the video says is a civilized and understated design. "Liked"
Well done mate 👏👏👏 loved every second.
Beautiful video and 100% spot on on the 330.
Please make many more videos like this. Beautiful car, beautiful film! DT-S is the best.
Fantastic Video from which i learned alot. Thank You Very Much.
Very nice work. I enjoyed that Vid. Thank you.
All this elegance and class is making me crave a '72 911ST 2.5L.
I love that he describes how it feels. So much passion. Very well made, I’m hooked.
Beautiful clip - amazing photography - great writing.
Thank you for giving the deserved spotlight that this version needed, the history with detailed information are remarkable. A true masterpiece👏
This video series is sublime.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this Ferrari and taking us along with you in the California mountains near San Francisco !!! Love the Sunset in the distance at the end of the video 📸
Excellent video of a great car, well done!
I love the click click of the gear shifts. The gated transmission must be heaven. What a beautiful machine!
Wow wow wow that video has made my morning thank you so much 👍
Another, excellent video!
Amazing video man.
This car is so understatedly gorgeous, it’s got some styling elements reminiscent of the BMW E9 and even the C2 Corvette in the rear hips, I never really paid attention to these before this video but I’m now wholeheartedly in love with the 330 GTC
Beautiful car and equally celebrated with this production. Thank you 🙏
Awesome! Love the detailed research.
"One of the most conceptually un-red Ferraris ever made. For the person who wants a Ferrari but doesnt need or want the rest of the world to know." Brilliant.
I agree with you 100% too. A FABULOUS CAR❤️
Beautifully worded description of the 330. Poetic!
Amazing video!
Great as usual 🤗
This car, the 2+2, and the Dino are my favourite Ferraris, and always have been. I prefer them to all the newer, hyper performance screamers.
Thanks for sharing this. It has to be my new dream car!
Watching this made me wanna go outside and just drive, although I don't have anything even close to a good old ferrari.
Outstanding work, as always.
Great video!
Brilliant Video of a Marvelous Classic Ferrari!!! Forza Ferrari Per Sempre!!!
I like the long format these cars deserve more than 3 minutes 20 seconds of which are a plea to like and subscribe..
Stunning. If I won the lottery this would be first on my list. Great Video. Thank you.
The 365GTC/4 came out after the Daytona...a 4-seater.
Your video is tasteful and well done, thanks for posting.
*Subscribed*
I really appreciate this series. It reminds me of what I really like petrolicious and carfection. What a stunning car. It doesn’t have to be going fast to look impressive. It’s truly beautiful.
In my experience, struggling to get from 1st to 2nd, and instead selecting 3rd, is a sign that the Synchromesh is on its way out. Not a feature of the Ferrari transaxle gearbox. And sadly, skipping to 3rd, or downshifting from say, 5th to 3rd, will only make matters worse. Skipping gears is not a good habit to get into. Yes, I know I'm late to the party. Regardless ...what a beautifully shot video, in a magic location, of one of my favorite cars. One can dream ...
+1. .. Exceptionally well done....... Exceptional !! .. As is all too often we find ourselves at LeManns. ..Many Thanks, Cheer's M/S
So well shot, edited, and moderated! And your explanation of the consumer at the end was perfect. So eloquently put. Thanks for producing this level of content. Jason #jcr_cars
Nicely done
Marvelous!!! Simply Irresistible!!!!!
This is high art.
Awesome content
I love the 330 GTC, simply gorgeous.
great video
Hiw come such an amazing channel went under my radar. Subbed
Nice, informative video presentation! I love the understated beauty of the 330 GTC & appreciate its mechanical edge for the period. (I hope the driver was not revving too hard on a cold start!) Those large, thin-rimmed steering wheels of the period, by the way, were from Nardi.
Aye. A fast car with sensuous design and passion. A fast narration with dull and jabbery presentation.
These need more views.
Enjoyed it! ("Engine" & "motor" cannot and should not be used interchangeably.)
I really hope there is a space in the future car industry somewhere for mechanical engineers who want to work around combustion engine cars. I'll do whatever I can but I hope there are enough jobs out there to fins something valuable. I've tried all the EVs and don't outright hate them, but I've come to the sad conclusion that what I love about cars is just not present and that I'd be lying to myself to say otherwise.
Beautiful car
For me, this is the most beautiful Ferrari
Nice video, hyphen
Just beautiful!
Ive always loved that car
I had deleted a comment about your steering technique at 10:22 after I thought (if you cant say something nice...) but at 15:27 you mention Enzo and how he would not approve of a car driven incorrectly. So i re wrote a version of my initial comment. Lovely footage and sound, well researched great video helping educate people on Ferrari DNA.
