1979 Ferrari 308 (Red/Tan)

Price: US $86,000.00 SOLD OUT

This Ferrari 308 GTB has been very nicely restored in Rosso Corsa, to better than new condition with very tasteful performance oriented modifications to the suspension and drive train. This car also retains its tool and jack kits along with its owners manual and pouch,   a full history file including the original window sticker showing it originally sold through Bavarian Motors of Fort Worth, Texas, In Rosso Rubino paint with Tobacco interior and factory air conditioning. A very large collection of photos and documentation on the restoration can be found at the following links, please read through and view the photos thoroughly: http://308gtb.tumblr.com/page/2 http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/rfoto10/library/Ferrari%20308 The chassis has had a bare metal respray in Rosso Corsa, and the replacement of rubber seals for openings and glass using NOS parts, at this time the front and rear bumpers were changed to the much more fashionable European versions, providing a much more aggressive and cleaner look. The carpets and seats have been redone in the proper materials, with the seats now finished in a tan leather.   The underside of the car has been very well cleaned and detailed, the suspension has been corner balanced and the wheels have been upgrade to 8.5x16 in the front and 9x16 in the rear,   adding to the already aggressive stance, and improving handling.   The engine rebuild was performed by Independent Ferrari Service in Massachusetts, at which time the engine was completely blueprinted and balanced,   receiving   10.5:1 compression ratio pistons, new intake and exhaust valves, and ’75 Spec camshafts, and the cylinder heads were ported and polished. An MSD ignition system on a single distributor set up has been fitted.   Making 300 HP with a redline of 7500 breathing through 4 Weber 42 DCNF carbs. Over $30K was invested in the engine. Miles at the time of engine and suspension rebuild 36,728                                     Last major service                          48,638                                     Last Timing Belt Change              57,145                                     Current Mileage                            57,876 This 308 GTB drives phenomenally well, exceptional power   and handling, the engines revs very quickly with a fantastic sound. The transmission shifts nicely with excellent clutch feel. The gauges function as they should and read accurately, the air conditioning blows nice and cold. I cannot stress how nice a 308 this is and I cannot recall of encountering a cleaner or better driving 308 than this one. Please contact me with any questions and request for pre purchase inspections.
