1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina For Sale - Stunning Nero, Fresh
Service By Ferrari LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1976
Ferrari 308 GTB. The Ferrari 308 GTB is a V8 mid-engine 2-seater
sports car manufactured by the Italian company Ferrari from 1975 to
1980. The 308's body was designed by Pininfarina's Leonardo
Fioravanti, who had been responsible for some of Ferrari's most
celebrated shapes to date such as the Daytona, the Dino and the
Berlinetta Boxer. This was the first Ferrari to benefit from the
full-size tunnel right from the prototype stage. The
Pininfarina-styled Ferrari 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris
Motor Show in 1975 as a supplement to the Bertone-shaped 2 2 Dino
308 GT4 and a direct replacement for the 2-seater Dino 246. A
notable aspect of the early 308 GTB was that, although still built
by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, its bodywork was entirely made of
glass-reinforced plastic (or GRP) - another first for Ferrari -
allowing a very lightweight to enhance performance. This lasted
until June 1977 when the 308 production was switched to steel
bodies. The 308 had a tube frame with separate body. The engine was
a V8 of a 90 degree configuration, with belt-driven twin overhead
camshafts per cylinder bank. It was transversely mounted in unit
with the transaxle transmission assembly. All models used a full
synchromesh 5-Speed Manual and a clutch-type limited slip
differential. Suspension was all-independent, comprising double
wishbones, coaxial coil springs and hydraulic dampers, and
anti-roll bars on both axles; four wheel vented disc brakes were
also fitted. Steering was rack and pinion. They were known for
smooth acceleration with a real good power range. Test performance
for the 308 GTB (GRP) revealed impressive acceleration for the
period with the quarter mile at 14.6 and 96 mph, 0-100 mph in 15.9
and top speed of 154 mph This Ferrari 308 GTB is certainly rare,
being one of only 808 of the fiberglass examples (vetroresina in
Italian) produced for the world wide market. It is offered in very
rare color of Nero complemented by a black leather interior.
Recently, it has been repainted in its factory color that has been
wet sanded and polished to an outstanding luster. The interior
remains largely original except for the seats which have been
re-trimmed in their original material. Important with any vintage
Ferrari, is the service history which this car has invoices dating
back to the early 1980s. Also recently it has undergone a complete
major service performed by an authorized Ferrari dealership. The
original Ferrari Cromodora 5-spoke 14-inch alloy wheels are fitted
with a newer set of period correct Michelin XWX 205/70vr14 tires.
Included in the sale, the new owner will receive a tool roll,
owner's manual, sales and service booklet, lubricant chart, service
history and dealer brochure. Today, the Vetroresina/Glass Fiber
cars are the most collectible of the 308. This is a great
opportunity to acquire a very rare Prancing Horse - 1976 Ferrari
308 GTB - sleek looks, impressive power and handling to satisfy any
Ferrari fanatic. Additional Details: 1976 FERRARI 308 -
