Ferrari barn find in Australia is one-of-a-kind with its original documents

This rare and collectible Ferrari 330 GT V12 found southwest of Sydney in Australia is not your average barn find.

You’d be lucky to get a good deal on one at a dealership or at auction.

Nevermind finding one for free in your own outhouse that had been sitting there since 1974.

The Ferrari that was found

Bearing the VIN (vehicle identification number) 9471, this was the very first production car made in 1967, it was also the first series 2 330 GT 2+2 built.

The car is one-of-one, however.

Only 36 of the 1,099 Ferrari GTs made were designed as right-hand drive.

When imported to Australia in 1974, the car wasn’t able to be driven or registered.

Its remarkably low mileage is a testament to that.

Those restoring it got lucky, as a low number on the odometer means the original 300-horsepower V12 engine will be in better shape.

It can achieve 0-97km/h / 0-60mph 0-60mph in a mere 7.8 seconds due to its lightweight 3000lb frame and an engine mated to a manual transmission that allows the driver to control the Ferrari more effectively.

Weirdly, the engine heads have been spray-painted silver rather than remaining stock black.

The dealer also found a set of original wire wheels with stock tires that were provided when the car first left the forecourt.

What’s more, all the original paperwork for the Ferrari is accounted for.

This includes the chassis number, import papers, and a detailed list of original parts.

The cabin fared just. as well with the original stock gear knob, stock eight-track player, stock timber paneling for the instrument cluster, and stock white and red leather seats.

Pop the trunk and you’ll find the original tool bag, hammer, and jack for tire changes.

Despite being in desperate need and being refurbished. after 46 years, it’s in good condition.

Other incredible barn finds

Barn finds are nothing new – but sharing them on social media means they can be shared and enjoyed by more of us than ever before.

Some are falling apart like this TikToker who discovered a collection of abandoned cars in a cave deep in the mountains.

However, others are in far better condition like this mysterious BMW M3 CSL abandoned in London that was moved after nearly 20 years.

Most can be cleaned up and given a new lease of life like this son who bought an abandoned 1974 Dodge Challenger from his dad who didn’t realize he had a real treasure.
