1977 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina For Sale - Fiber Glass, Original
Paint, Low Miles LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1977
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 highly original condition Ferrari
308 GTB is certainly rare with only 808 of the first fiberglass
version (vetroresina in Italian) having ever been made for the
entire market . The original Silver paint is striking and shows
very nicely. �Legendary Motorcar purchased this fabulous Ferrari

F106 AB V8 engine sits in its unrestored and never tampered with

carburetors and sits under the rear engine cover with the stylish

excitement having been registered. In fact it still has the

14-inch alloy wheels. This Ferrari has attitude with the unique
