The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 was a four-seat Ferrari coupe produced between 1964 and 1967. It was sort of their “base” model slotted below the 275 series. In all, 1,099 were built – but only one of them looks anything like this.

The 60s were weird – weirder for some than others – and Norbert Navarro’s 1960s must’ve been awfully weird as the Italian night club owner commissioned this Piero Drogo-bodied Speciale. The engine carries over – a 4.0-liter V-12 making 300 horsepower. The body was stretched, box-ified, and painted this lovely shade of gold. It looks wagon-like from the side, but if you go to Gooding’s website and check out some rear photos, you’ll see that it has a more El Camino-without-the-tailgate-like thing going on.

It’s certainly unique. But Drogo-bodied cars are very rare and quite desirable. This one should cost you between $400,000-$600,000. Click here for more from Gooding & Company’s sale.

Update: Not sold.

1966 Ferrari 206 S Dino Spyder

Offered by RM Auctions | Monaco | May 12, 2012

In 1966 Ferrari introduced their gorgeous V-12 powered 330 P3 race car to compete against the big boys in the biggest sports car races on the continent. Alongside the 330, there was a new, smaller race car, powered by a 2.0-liter V6 making 218 horsepower. It was called the 206 Dino S.

With a body penned by Pierre Drogo and built by his company, Carrozzeria Sports Cars, it was certainly a looker. And it was no slouch on the track, placing second at the Targa Florio and taking the bottom two podium spots at the Nürburgring. The car here (chassis #006) was actually the third car built for sale. Some of it’s competition highlights include:

1966 1000km Nürburgring – DNF (with Richard Attwood and David Piper)
1967 Brands Hatch – 6th overall, 1st in class (with Michael Parkes)
1968 Targa Florio – 22nd (with Hans Wangstre and Evert Christofferson)

Most of its brief competition history was at the hands of amateur drivers and it was placed into storage in the early 1970s. When it was removed, it was carefully restored over a number of years to it’s original condition as it was campaigned at the ’66 Nürburgring race.

Ferrari’s original intention was to build 50 homologation examples but they ended up building only 18. And this is a very early example. I love the striking light blue on red color scheme – it’s not something you see everyday. But then again, a 206 S isn’t something you see everyday either, regardless of paint scheme. The price proves it, with an estimate between $2,875,000-$3,600,00. For the compete catalog description, click here and here for the complete lot list.

Update: sold $3,263,400.
