1979 Ferrari 308 GTB
This is a good example of a loved car, being in superb condition, with a great spec (black on black with silver wheels).
The story of this Ferrari 308 GTB first started all the way back in 1979 when it has been first sold to a gentleman from Milan,
Italy. It has been imported in the US almost 30 years ago (1997) by the same owner who used to be top management in Italy at a big American company.
The car retains the original black paint and the interior still keeps the original black leather interior. The interior
features an air conditioning, the beautiful guided shifter for the manual transmission and many more luxury features for that time having the benefit of being designed by the Italians which are famous for their excellent automotive design, Pininfarina in this case.
The car has been refreshed on the mechanical side back in 2013, two years before it exchanged hands, and some of the things done to it are:
- the powertrain composed by the 2.9 engine producing 252 horse power along with the transmission havebeen removed from the car to have the seals replaced, a valve adjustment;
- the fuel supply system has been refreshed as well by rebuilding the Webber carbs, cleaning the lines & the tank to make sure everything runs perfect.
- brand new clutch along with.
- brand new set of tie rods.
- steering rack bushings.
- a brand new set of Koni red shocks.
- a set of brand new springs.
- wheel bearings.
- brake disks & pads, brand new brake lines.
- brake calipers have been refreshed.
- the control arms have been sand blasted, powder coated and had their bushings replaced.
- brand new door seals have been installed as well.
- brand new set of Michelin XWX tires 205/70.
- the beautiful alloys, 14 inches, "Campagnolo" have been refreshed.
The 73,000 miles might seem a lot but this is one of the rare cases where the car stays in the same hands.
Our notes for the car is that this is one of the best cars of its generation being a mid engine screaming V8 which offers a beautiful ride quality combined with sportiness and a great deal of elegance.
The car comes from a private collection where the cars are worth a considerable amount, the vehicle has never been neglected nor stored outside. We have been tasked with the mission of finding a new custodian therefore expectations are high when it comes to finding a new owner.
All our cars are delivered with fresh fluid change, tuneup and a list of recommendations for better preserving the car in the future.
