1967 Ferrari 330 GTS #9781

One of just 99 330 GTS’s built, chassis #9781 was completed by the factory in April 1967 as a U.S.-specification example. It was delivered new through Luigi Chinetti Motors in Greenwich, Connecticut to its first owner, Gerald Martin, of New York City later that year. Finished in the seldom seen and highly desirable shade of Nocciola (19397) over a Nero Franzi interior, the car was retained in Mr. Martin’s ownership for the next nine years before its sale back to Chinetti.

In 1976 Jim Hughes of Alamo, California purchased the car from Chinetti. The vehicle was shipped across the country to Hughes and remained with him until June 1983 when he sold the car to Glen Burkett who was also a resident of Alamo, CA. At that time, the car was noted as being refinished in yellow. The car was shown by Burkett at the 1984 Ferrari Owners’ Club International Meeting and Concours in Carmel Valley, California.

Burkett retained ownership of the vehicle for the next 20 years, occasionally showing it at concours events.  At the Meadow Brook Hall Concours d’Elegance in August 1997,  the vehicle earned First in Class! Burkett sold the car in the early-2000s to its fourth owner, Ron Yagoda, of Scottsdale, Arizona. Yagoda owned the car for four years, after which it was owned by Frank Boucher, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before being acquired by its current owner.

In 2015, the vehicle was transported to our facility and began a thorough restoration.
