This vehicle was just 1 of 20 rare vehicles that I purchased several years ago from a one off collection. It sat next to several high end vehicles, including a million dollar Rolls Royce. The collector was very particular as to what he kept around, there were no ordinary cars. Although this 308 has a lot of character, driving it is a bit of an issue, I am 6'6" so I have been sticking to my Mercedes 6 door as a daily driver during the summer. I would much rather see someone else enjoy this Ferrari. It beats collecting dust in the garage. There are some minor chips in the paint, but nothing that would discourage anyone from purchasing it. The car was repainted when the Koenig widebody was installed. I recently had the car tuned up and changed the water pump and fuel pump. It took a full 18 months to get this car shipped to us because it didn’t have any keys and the wheels were locked in an awkward position. As you can see in the photos, there are 2 sets of wheels. This is because we needed to get it to drive and roll until we found a nice set of wheels for it. I have a friend in CA that will custom man any type of wheel for this 308 GTB Koenig. I have attached an example of what it could look like with custom made wheels. This is a perfect opportunity to own an original, rare Ferrari. Why spend $100,000 when you can enjoy this beautiful machine for less? Classic cars are making a come back, invest now, while you can. The rest of my collection is located in North Chicago, where I am from. I do not have enough room for my cars in Los Angeles. Feel free to message me to set up a time to take a look at this vehicle in person. The Ferrari 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Salon in October 1975. It showed a similar mechanical layout to the Bertone-styled 308 GT4, but was equipped with only two seats. The beautifully styled coachwork by Pininfarina incorporated some visual aspects of the fantastic Dino 246 GT. .
This is a special Ferrari 308 GTBIt is equipped with a Koenig Specials wide body kit.
A little about Koenig Specials: Koenig-Specials was founded by Willy K?nig. The company was based in Munich, in the south of Germany. The story starts when Willy K?nig (or Koenig whatever you want) bought himself the first Ferrari 365 BB in Germany, back in 1974. Willy K?nig was a car racer and a publisher at the time. Because he wasn't pleased with the performance of his new Ferrari he had it modified by engine-specialists and coachbuilding companies to suit his demands of creating the ultimate racingcar for the streets. Soon other people got interested in K?nig's modified 365 BB the hobby was turned into a professional bussiness: Koenig-Specials was born in 1977. Koenig-Specials outsourced it's modifications to companies and specialists with experience in the bussiness. The engine tuning was often done by Franz Albert and many of the widebody designs were done by Vittorio Strosek, who later started his own Porsche tuning-company.
Koenig-Specials is one of those tuning-companies who had just as much enemies as fans back in the 1980s. His modified Ferraris were not liked by the Maranello manufacturer, Enzo Ferrari ordered all stallion badges off the Koenig cars. Many people dislike Willy K?nig's creations, but still he's a tuning-legend with many fans all over the world. Vehicle specs:

Jeep and Ram could be spun off from FCA, says Marchionne
Thu, Apr 27 2017Jeep is surely the biggest single feather left in the cap of the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles portfolio. Under Sergio Marchionne's leadership, Jeep went from fewer than 500,000 annual sales in 2008 to 1.4 million in 2016, and is on track for 2 million by 2018. Add in the brand's legacy, status as one of the most recognizable nameplates in the world, and rabid fan base, and Jeep has extraordinary monetary value to its parent company. Investors and analysts have certainly noticed Jeep's inherent value. According to The Detroit Free Press, Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas asked FCA chief Sergio Marchionne if he would ever consider spinning Jeep and Ram, FCA's dedicated truck brand, into a separate corporate entity, and he responded with a simple "Yes." Jonas estimated Jeep's worth in January of this year at $22 billion. Ram was valued at $11.2 billion. Marchionne has a history of spinning off brands while keeping them part of FCA's corporate umbrella. The most noteworthy example of this value maximization was with Ferrari, which now trades on the New York Stock Exchange and rakes in $3.4 billion in annual revenue and close to $435 million in net income, reports the Free Press. Marchionne still serves as chairman and CEO of Ferrari, and Fiat heir John Elkann owns 22 percent of the Italian marque's shares. Even if the offloading of Jeep and Ram into a separate entity would amount to little more than a profit-driven ownership change on paper, it would be huge news to the brands' loyal fanbases. In any case, such a move would likely take years to actually happen and probably wouldn't mean much at all to the products that Jeep and Ram produce. In other words, Jeep fans can keep the pitchforks in the shed ... for now. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Ferrari officially teases successor to Enzo throne
Fri, 14 Dec 2012You're looking at our best view yet of the upcoming successor to the Ferrari Enzo. Rumors kicking around the web insist the new reigning monarch of the Italian kingdom will carry the "F150" name when it bows, otherwise known as the Special Limited Series. Word has it Ferrari has focused all of its experience in Formula One to create the new model. According to the manufacturer's official online magazine, the new ultracar will boast a carbon fiber monocoque chassis built in "an almost handmade style" using four types of the composite. We aren't sure exactly what that means, but the design should keep weight to a minimum.
Power should come courtesy of an 800 horsepower V12 engine married to a HY-KERS system good for an additional 100 hp. Early estimates say the creation will tip the scales at under 3,000 pounds, which means the vehicle will be a performance marvel. Sounds like a party.
2016 Japanese Grand Prix | Hamilton faces the beginning of the end
Mon, Oct 10 2016We're told the Japanese mamushi viper haunts the undergrowth around Suzuka. If the pit viper attended the weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, it avoided human visitors but it put a nasty bite on Lewis Hamilton's championship hopes. The Briton, lined up second on the grid next to Mercedes-AMG Petronas teammate Nico Rosberg, flubbed his start. By the end of Turn 1 Hamilton was in eighth. Hamilton didn't suffer alone. The beginning of the race was a melee; many of the leaders got caught out either by the damp track or by having to swerve around slow starters. Only Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Red Bull's Max Verstappen took off clean. The German rolled up another lights-to-flag victory despite the pass-happy race happening behind him. Rosberg was as unbothered by the Dutchman in second place as he was by the official Formula 1 camera feed. Verstappen didn't have much work to do until the final ten laps of the race. Thanks to the Mercedes team's strategy – or Ferrari waiting too long to pit – Hamilton got up to third on Lap 36 of 53. Unable to make a DRS-enabled pass on Verstappen down the front straight toward the end of the race, the Mercedes driver took a creative line through Spoon corner. Closing in down the back straight, Hamilton jinked inside to try a pass through the final chicane. Verstappen moved over in the braking zone while Hamilton was still behind him, closing the door on the move. Hamilton protested over his team radio, but seemed resigned to a third place finish after the incident – he didn't try any more passes in the final laps. The Ferrari duo of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen crossed the line fourth and fifth, respectively, in recovery drives after penalties. The scuderia tried an aggressive final stint after Hamilton successfully undercut Vettel in the pits. Ferrari put Vettel on the soft-compound Pirellis so he could hunt the Mercedes, but after a few laps of close pursuit the tires gave up and Vettel fell back. Daniel Ricciardo couldn't get comfortable in his Red Bull the entire weekend. The Aussie finished where he started, in sixth place. Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg followed the Red Bull home in two-up formation for Force India, Williams doing the same in the final two points-paying positions with Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. Rosberg's 23rd career victory – his ninth of the season and first ever in Japan – puts him 33 points ahead of Hamilton in the Driver's Championship with four races left.
