Year:1975 Mileage:92000
Location:

Laguna Niguel, California, United States

Laguna Niguel, California, United States

Highly desirable year for carbureted 308’s since it is smog exempt in California.  No more worry to get the car to pass smog every two years!  1975 Ferrari 308 GT4, VIN # 10330, production date March 1975.  This car started its life in California and was in Nevada for few years before I bought the car and brought back to California.  It is 100% rust free.  Please see list of work that has been done on the car in the last year.

 

  1. The car was completely stripped down including glasses, molding, lights, trim pieces, interior; doors, hood, engine cover and trunk were removed from the car.  The paint was completely sanded down to bare metal and was then primed, painted and color sanded.  The paint has five years warranty.

  2. The front valance is brand new.  I was able to find a NOS after extensive search.

  3. Both front seats leather were completely reupholstered.

  4. Complete new wool carpet inside the car.

  5. Complete new carpet in the trunk area.

  6. New Momo steering wheel.  I also have the original steering wheel that is in good condition and comes with the car.

  7. Vitaloni power left and right mirrors.  These are the same power mirrors that were equipped on the Ferrari BB512.

  8. All the doors weather stripping are new.

  9. All front window channels for the power windows and the fixed front door windows are new.

  10. All front window outside rubber and inside felt are new.

  11. Complete engine rebuilt by Norwood Performance (Bob Norwood) costing more than $15,000.  Every engine part that you can name was replaced including clutch.  I have all the receipts.

  12. The ignition system was converted to one distributor with electronic pick up sensor, one coil and MSD ignition system.  The kit was supplied by Norwood Performance.  This kit costs about $1,800 and is one of the best upgrades you can perform on the carbureted 308’s.

  13. All smog equipment has been removed from the car.

  14. Brand new European model Ansa exhaust system.  No catalytic converter.  The car sounds awesome.

  15. Brand new European model stainless steel front and rear exhaust headers

  16. All front and rear A-arms bushings both inner and outer were completely replaced.  I mean every single bushing.

  17. Ball joints were replaced.

  18. All bushings for the sway arms were replaced.

  19. All bushings on the Koni suspensions were replaced.

  20. Steering tire rod ends were replaced.

  21. Car was aligned.

  22. New 16” Ferrari wheel, New Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires, 205/50/16 front and 206/45/16 rear.  These are the correct tire sizes for this car and the front wheel do not rub on the wheel wells when the steering wheel is completely turned.

  23. The replacement of all the bushings, and the wider tires makes this car very tight and enjoyable to drive.

  24. New Bosch battery.

  25. Cold air conditioning.

  26. There is a small patch repair on the top of the dash and it is not visible from inside the car when seated.

 

The car drives perfectly, shifts great including the 2nd gear synchro.

As you can see this car was fully restored the way every Ferrari should be restored and not the Ferraris that are worth few hundred thousand dollars.  The car has original 92,000 miles on it, the complete engine rebuilt was done around 70,000, because the car is completely free of smog accessories, has the upgraded single electronic ignition conversion, system, and the European exhaust system, it has much more low end and wide open performance compare to the other carbureted 308’s.  I had a 1979 308 GT4 a few years ago with 10,000 original miles and this drives so much better and a lot more fun to drive.

 

The car was just recently checked and the carbs were tuned by a reputable Ferrari service and restoration shop in Redondo Beach, California.  The owner of the shop told me that this is one of the nicest 308 GT4’s that he has driven and has much more power.

 

Please call me at 310-892-2177 with any questions and serious buyers are welcome to inspect the car.

1954 Ferrari 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe named Best In Show at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

For the first time in the event's 64-year history, the prestigious Best In Show honor at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance has been awarded to a Ferrari. The 1954 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe seen here is owned by car collector Jon Shirley of Medina, WA, and as it turns out, has quite a rich history.
Nevermind the fact that it's currently one of five road-going 375 MMs - this example was ordered by film director Roberto Rossellini, and was actually born as a Pininfarina-bodied competition Spyder. Following an accident, the car's original body wasn't able to be saved, but the chassis was sent to Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena for replacement, and the finished product became the company's first passenger car design for Ferrari.
Following its tenure with Rossellini, the car was owned by Mario Savona of Palermo, and later Charles Robert of Paris. Years later, the car was restored by its current owner in 1995, after being found in an underground garage in a Paris suburb.

Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...

James Glickenhaus teases sleek SCG 003 supercar

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

He may not have known it at the time, but James Glickenhaus started a small revolution when he commissioned Pininfarina to turn his Ferrari Enzo into a tribute to the legendary 330 P3/4. The P4/5 is what resulted, and Ferrari gave its blessing for it to wear the Prancing Horse emblem - something it hadn't done for a coachbuilt custom in decades. A slew of rebodied Ferraris followed, prompting the factory to launch its own coachbuilding division. But Jim wasn't out of the picture.
The former Hollywood filmmaker and investment banker followed up with the P4/5 Competition based on the 430 Scuderia, and started Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to race it. Now SCG is returning with a new project, and has released this teaser video (which you can view in the embedded Facebook post below) to keep us on our toes.
From the few glimpses the video provides of a rendering, it's hard to tell much, but from what we can see, it looks pretty slick. Just what sort of technical details will form the underpinnings remains to be seen, but we're looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
