The Ferrari 308 has become one of the most sought after examples in
today's market with the early carbureted GTB examples leading the
charge. The greatest appeal is the attractive looks of the GTB
Coupe paired to a lively driving experience. This highly original
lifelong California "blue plate" Ferrari hails from northern
coastal region of the state. We believe the car retains large
portions of its original paint and unquestionably original tan
leather upholstery, which shows nicely with a proper patina. All
original glass remains in place (including the California emissions
windshield decal), as well as the very rare Blaupunkt Bamberg
Stereo Electronic.
Displaying just 55,724 miles, the engine revs effortlessly, with a
sharp tune and with great engine compression on each cylinder. All
of the electric components are working properly including the
clock! A 2017 complete 30k Major Service and inspection was
performed at DriverSource, by highly knowledgeable and experienced
service specialists. This included all required belts, tensioners,
gaskets, seals, filters and fluids, parts were supplied by Ferrari
of Houston, along with a new battery, and correct Michelin XWX
tires. The factory EGR equipment remains affixed, while the smog
pump was removed and discarded in years past. Additional recent
service included installation of rear shocks and new control arm
bushings. Importantly the 308 retains its original PininFarina body
# stamped front and rear bonnets which are stamped "824".
The paint seems to be largely original with minimal paint work seen
in areas. Paint imperfections are pictured in our photo gallery.
The interior remains remarkably original and with a nice look. The
overall cosmetic condition is that of an honest "driver" with
beautiful patina.
For those in search of an honest and original carbureted 308 GTB to
drive and enjoy, we highly recommend this example - especially for
those seeking the uncommon non-red Ferrari. 26003 is accompanied by
period sheep skin seat covers, matching spare assembly, original
owner's manual and tool kit
