Ferrari 330 GT Vignale Shooting Break for Luigi Chinetti
It is fantastic when cool people create crazy cars. This Ferrari 330 GT Vignale Shooting Break was created by Alfredo Vignale in 1968 for the Chinetti family. You can call it ugly, and in a lot of ways it is, but this is also a very cool Ferrari.
Luigi Chinetti was also a very special guy to Ferrari. In 1949, he won the first ever race in a Ferrari-branded car in utterly spectacular fashion. He raced 23 hours and 40 minutes of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in his Ferrari 166M taking a lone 20 minute break, and he won.
Chinetti was given the dealership rights to the United States by Enzo Ferrari and brought the brand to the US.
In 1958, he created the North American Racing Team, which was an officially sactioned racing arm of Ferrari in the US. He hired drivers like Phil Hill, Mario Andretti, Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt and raced both in the US and internationally. The team won the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1965 and did well at the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring.
