When the new car was first spotted during initial testing, rumors flew about the new Dino. The new car was very different however. Rather than use Bertone who had designed the angular 308 Dino GT4, Ferrari engaged Pininfarina design legend, Leonardo Fioravanti, to pen what has become one of Ferrari’s most iconic shapes. The gorgeous design was an instant hit at the 1975 Paris Motor Show. The first two years of 308 GTB production wore fiberglass body shells while later cars where clad in all­steel bodies. Underneath, a sophisticated four­cam 90­degree V­8 provided the power accompanied by an impressive soundtrack. While not delivering blistering performance by modern standards, the new 308s was a breath of fresh air as the Malaise­era drew to a close. Today, the V­8 Ferrari market continues to grow as enthusiasts and collectors recognize the 308 GTB as one of Ferrari’s greats.The Car: This 308 GTB is presented in brilliant show­winning condition. The car has just received a fresh sympathetic restoration and is correct in every respect. From the lustrous Rosso paint to the black leather interior, this car impresses. This steel­bodied car was originally sold in Mexico and benefits from the elegant European marker lights rather than the oversize markers that Federalized cars wore. The freshly restored wheels and new tires absolutely set this car apart. All books and tools are present with the car. It is fully serviced and ready to go for the next owner. The V­8 Ferrari market continues to grow as collectors recognize the excellence and beauty of the design. This is an outstanding opportunity to secure a top­flight example of Maranello’s most iconic V­8
