You never know where you might find the car of your dreams—including on social media.
A 1962 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 prototype owned by the marque’s founder Enzo Ferrari is currently up for sale in Seattle via Facebook Marketplace. The classic Prancing Horse may have ended up in an unexpected place, but it still carries the high six-figure price tag normally associated with such vehicles.

The 330 GT arrived in 1963 as the successor to the 250 series. The first iteration, the 330 America, was almost identical to the car it was replacing, except for its bigger engine and badging. In 1964, came the 330 GT 2+2, a four-seat grand tourer that was truly its own vehicle. The car would remain in production until 1967, during which 1,099 examples rolled off the line.

It takes time to develop a vehicle and Enzo’s 330 GT 2+2, chassis 4085, was built two years before the finished version would go into production. It was during this time that the vehicle did double duty as Enzo company’s car, after which it was imported to the U.S. by America’s first Ferrari dealer, Luigi Chinetti. Its Pininfarina-designed exterior is finished in a glossy coat of white and features the quad headlights that were only available on Series I examples of the vehicle (Series II went back to the 250’s dual lights). The interior features black leather upholstery. The seller says that over $285,000 has been spent restoring the car and from the included photos it looks like the money was well spent.
The car may be a prototype but it is still powered by one of Ferrari’s famed Colombo V-12s. The 4.0-liter mill is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. No output is listed, but when the 330 GT 2+2 finally made it to production, the setup produced an impressive 300 hp. That was enough to push the coupé to a top speed of 152 mph.

The 330GT 2+2 isn’t being sold through the expected channels, but that doesn’t mean the seller isn’t aware of what they have on their hands. They’re asking for $865,000 for the car. That’s significantly more than the $500,000 price tag it carried when it went up for grabs in 2019.
