Some gorgeous cars in there, but a few groaners as well. This one seems awkward to me. Maybe I need to see one in person?

Those are not cars [a means of transportation for most people] they are RICH PEOPLE'S TOY'S that need constant [more than most people make] money to own.

(Some people would say what we spend on 'toy' cars was sinful).
I've always liked four door saloon Ferraris and this 1980 Pininfarina is no exception

maybe the common toycars ... but I am glad there are people who pay for these one-off's, otherwise they would not exist, it is a unique type of visual art that brings beauty and mechanical ingenuity together and uniquely satisfies our senses.

@chav I totally agree with you and it keeps a lot of people employed with what we may describe today as a very small footprint.

Thanks for this car, never seen her before, just watched this video about her history. Another fascinating story.

I've been a Ferrari fan since I was a kid, and this is on the list of ugliest Ferraris since that time.

The 330 GTC was the first Ferrari I saw in a magazine, and the first I saw on the road (at 13)...just like this one. The gentleman's Ferrari in the mid 60s. I still want one.
