This is a Ferrari 308 that has been modified to a 288 gto rebody. I bought this car from an auction and the previous owners name listed on the title is Robert Norwood. This car was owned by Bob Norwood. If you know about Ferraris you probably have heard of him, if not do some research on the web. He builds and mods Ferraris and has been doing it for years and has had cars in and on the cover of road and track, motor trend, and car and driver along with other magazines. He holds many Ferrari records on speed and is known for building super nice Ferraris from the ground up. I have seen GTO rebodies bring a lot of money here on ebay but the difference is Bob Norwood had the real 288 Gto parts that he used on many of his if not all so he was building as close to a real 288 gto as possible. By the way factory built 288 gtos are selling for up to 1 million dollars at the moment and only 272 were built so this is as close as it gets. If you notice this one has fuel doors on each side which is only on the 288 gtos. Most rebody cars have only drivers fuel door and nothing on passenger side. This car has some missing parts like motor, trans, center console, speedometer, cluster, bumper parts, rear window, rear engine hatch, stuff like that. This car is a rolling chassis with no motor or trans. It has the 17 inch wheels with 17x13 in rear with Michelin Pilot 335 tires on rear. Some pics show the passenger Ferrari shield on the fender but it is now missing because someone wanted a souvenir and stole it. Door latches don't work so there is a cable to open them for right now. Car has radiator in front and wiring harness parts sitting inside engine bay. The car has some nicks and paint chips around it here and there probably from sitting around at an auction. The passenger door upper front edge has a split in fiberglass. I took a pic. Car has no keys so they are missing also. Please look close at pics and let me know if I can answer anything else for you. Cash only. I cannot release the car or title until cash in hand or either the check or wire has cleared. My bank puts hold on out of town checks even if they are cashier so just letting you know I must have the cash in my hand before releasing car. Choose your motor you want to install and have a rare collector car. This Ferrari is being sold as-is with no warranty or guarantee. I already have offers of more than the starting price so it is not going to get any cheaper but if the offer is right I may be ending the auction early. Thanks and good luck bidding

2016 German Grand Prix race recap: so-so racing, great questions
Mon, Aug 1 2016We can summarize the 2016 German Grand Prix in one sentence: Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Lewis Hamilton started second on the grid, passed pole-sitter and teammate Nico Rosberg before the first corner, and dominate to the finish. In fact, Hamilton turned his engine power output down on Lap 3 and still took the checkered flag seven seconds ahead of Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo. Ricciardo's teammate Max Verstappen crossed the line another six seconds back. Rosberg fell to fourth at the first corner and couldn't find the pace to reel in the Red Bulls. His questionable pass on Verstappen didn't help when the stewards penalized Rosberg five seconds; the overtake reminded us of Rosberg's move on teammate Hamilton in Austria. That penalty turned into eight seconds when the Mercedes-AMG Petronas stopwatch didn't work in the pits. Ferrari pilots Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen finished fifth and sixth. Those six drivers all started in the top six, too. Behind them, on Lap 28 of the 67-lap race the next four drivers were Valtteri Bottas in the Williams, Nico Hulkenberg in the Force India, and Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso in McLarens. Low fuel and old tires put the kibosh on Alonso's pace just four laps from the finish, allowing Force India's Sergio Perez to pass, rounding out the top ten. The issues up for debate during the four-week break are far more interesting than the weekend's race. As bad as Ferrari's day might have been – and we'll get to that – Rosberg probably took the biggest hit, losing the race before the first corner for the second weekend in a row and falling 19 points behind Hamilton. Rosberg won the first four races of the season, then the teammates tripped over one another in Spain. Hamilton's won six of the seven races since Spain, Rosberg's best result in that time is a second-place in Hungary. Hamilton turned his engine down on Lap 3 (!) because he's used his entire season's allotment of five turbochargers and five MGU-Ks. Those early-season gremlins now have him on edge of grid penalties. Unless Hamilton's momentum cools off in August, however, that reliability danger might be the only dent in his armor. Rosberg, who once led the Championship by 43 points, will surely drown in his thoughts – and maybe schnapps – over the summer break. Whatever the Italian word for "meditation" is, there'll be a lot of it at Ferrari during the F1 summer break.
Ferrari 312PB looks amazing, sounds like you're ripping sheets
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Whether it's Mozart, Beethoven or The Beatles, they all (arguably) pale in comparison to just the right engine note for many auto enthusiasts. Petrolicious has found one of the absolute best with its latest focus on a 1972 Ferrari 312PB.
The 312PB is important for more than just its ability to sound like an automotive symphony. It was also the final purpose-built prototype racer of the era from Ferrari before the Prancing Horse put its entire focus into Formula One. Maranello went out with a bang, though. The 312PB's design is simplicity itself with just a modified wedge shape combined with the necessary scoops and ducting to keep its 12-cylinder engine at full tune. The car won a string of races and scored the 1972 championship. Although even if it had been a loser, the racecar likely would have been famous just for its wonderful exhaust note.
In the video, Petrolicious expertly balances its interview with owner Steven Read with wonderful cinematography and just letting the Ferrari sing around the Willow Springs track. Crank up the volume and scroll down to get a wonderful earful of this sonorous vintage racer.
Petrolicious documents the motorsport-changing Ferrari 512M
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Petrolicious has had plenty of beautiful cars and big-time personalities in its videos, but today's interview is sees one of the series' most well known subjects - US Formula 1 commentator David Hobbs.
Hobbs is an accomplished racer, capturing a number of podiums and a pair of class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in addition to short stints in F1 and at the Indianapolis 500. One of his Le Mans runs was behind the wheel of this, the Ferrari 512M, a car that's notable for two things - running a 1971 season that included the 24 Hours of Daytona, 24 Hours of Le Mans, 12 Hours of Sebring and Watkins Glen 6 Hour races. The other thing it's known for? Failing to win a single one of those enduros.
Still, the Ferrari 512 is one of the Italian marques most iconic 1970s racers and Hobbs' example is a proud member of that breed, delivering a delicious 5.0-liter V12 exhaust note that makes this an easy video to sit through.
