Overview

Among Grand Tourer enthusiasts, the matchup between the 1963 ATS 2500 GT Allemano Coupe and 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC is one for the ages. These Muscle era machines competed directly for buyers' attention and continue to vie for collectors' affections today. The 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC holds a clear advantage in raw power with 300 hp compared to 245 hp, a 55-horsepower difference that shapes the driving experience. Under the hood, the contrast is notable: the ATS 2500 GT uses a V8 DOHC displacing 2,467 cc, while the Ferrari 330 GTC relies on a V12 SOHC with 3,967 cc. In the sprint to 60 mph, the 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC edges ahead at 6.3 seconds versus 6.5 seconds. The ATS 2500 GT carries a weight advantage, tipping the scales 882 lbs lighter. Rarity plays a significant role here — with only 12 units built, the 1963 ATS 2500 GT Allemano Coupe is considerably scarcer than the Ferrari 330 GTC's 600 examples. Both trade at comparable values on the collector market, making the choice between them largely one of personal preference.
