I saw/heard a Ferrari 275 today...

[AUDIHenry]

...at least I think it was a 275. Anyway, it had been restored and from afar looked like an early 70s e-type from the front. Once I passed the front 3/4, I knew it had to be something else. Needless to say, it sounded fantastic, unlike anything I had heard before. In a sea of Priuses (Prii), Lexuses (Lexii), and bland cars like my Civic and Camries, this thing stood out like nothing else.

And I didn't have a camera to take a picture!

edit: might be 330 GTC.

Perspex covered headlights like an early E type? Sounds like a 275GTB:

The 330's had uncovered lights, wider track and larger glass area.

I'm thinking it was perhaps aftermarket or done to protect the lights? Because the distinctive e-type-esque front is different on the 275, it's more rounded. On the 330, it looks like it:
