One Strange Car . . .
#4
From conceptcarz.com:




This 1965 Ferrari 330 GT was sent to America in 1965 as a left-hand-drive car. It was shipped to Luigi Chinetti Motors in Greenwich, Connecticut and was, at the time, painted red with a beige interior. Its first owner was named Desy. By 1967, the car was in the hands of Luigi Chinetti Jr., son of the American Ferrari importer. Coco, as he was known, had grown up around Ferrari. With the help of commercial artist Bob Peak, he designed a concept for a new sport wagon design fitted to the 330 GT 2+2 chassis. The design was made into reality by legendary coachbuilder Alfredo Vignale.
The Ferrari 330 GT Shooting Brake did not have panel in common with the donor body. The unusual vehicle was on the Vignale display at the 50th Annual Turin Motor Show, before it was returned to Coco Chinetti. Years later, the car turned up in the Philadelphia area and by 1977 it had migrated to the Northern Virginia area. By the 1990s it was in Paris with Jean-Claude Paturau who displayed the car at the 1996 Louis Vuitton Concours d'Elegance at Bagatelle.
Since new, this vehicle has been restored. It is currently finished in a deep blue green-hue with yellow-gold fore and aft roof panels. It was a feature car in the June 2008 issue of Octane Magazine.
This unique car with fewer than 13,000 miles on the odometer was offered for sale at the 2008 'Quail Lodge, A Sale of Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia' presented by Bonhams Auction. This one-of-a-kind car was estimated to sell for $500,000 - 600,000 but left the auction unsold.

Touche. I deleted my post so it wouldn't give you the satisfaction. 
It was a nice game though. I suppose I should've waited a while before posting up the answer.
