Topic: Solved - NEH 5529: 1966 Ferrari 330 GT Speciale by The Creative Workshop - 2018

[Enzo Rhode-Hagen]

Thank you. It took me a lot of searching, and the first day I saw there was a sort of replica, and looking at your puzzle on the Drogo body that changed car, I thought it may be it, but I couldn't find any details. Until last night, and reading the story behind was very interesting for me. One guy that pursued his child dream, and reached it!

It is based on a 1966 Ferrari 330 GT (Serial #7877).
It is a tribute to Michellotti's skills, inspired by a picture of a Ferrari 250 Europa Sports Coupe of 1954 that he saw as a kid.

While Fernandez may have originally been inspired by a 250 Europa he saw as a child, this car is a replica of 1951 Ferrari 340 America Coupe Vignale chassis 0082/A. Fernandez bought 7877 in 2004 and work on the 0082/A replica was begun by Eurocoachworks, Inc of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (and others) the following year. Eurocoachworks did a considerable amount of the work over the next decade or so, but the car was ultimately finished up by Jason Wenig's team at The Creative Workshop in Dania, Florida.

Yes, I agree and I thought they must  have meant a 340 America too because that's what it looks just like but didn't want to argue with them!
The only 250 Europa I could find that looked anything like the 330 Speciale is the one pictured below, but it's by Pininfarina not Vignale!

I would have!
