Very desirable 1980 Ferrari 308 GTBi offered by Gas Monkey Garage with 27,635 original miles! The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a supplement to the Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the Dino 246. It was designed by 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. The 308 used elements of these shapes to create something very much in contrast with the angular GT4 2+2. The GTB/GTS was a 2-seater with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, and has become one of the more recognizable and iconic cars produced by Ferrari to date.This is a three local owner vehicle purchased originally by the owner of the local Ferrari Dealership here in Dallas in 1980 for his own personal use. Driven regularly, but very little in 34 years it has always been maintained (recent timing belt service and clutch replacement) and stored in a climate controlled garage its entire life. The Rosso Chiaro (light red) exterior paint is in good condition with the minor chips and scratches you would expect after 34 years. It has a glossy appearance with evidence of some paint work on the deck and would benefit from a good buffing and detailing. The Beige interior is complete and in good condition with minor wear on the driver’s seat and some soiling on the carpet that would also benefit from a good detailing (see all pics). While this car runs and drives well , this car should be serviced due to the lack of recent use to ensure safety and reliability (again the  timing belts and clutch have been replaced recently) and due to our filming schedule we are unable to perform any additional work on this car-sold as is/where is. This Ferrari 308 GTBi will be seen on an upcoming episode of the hit show Fast N Loud and the winning bidder has the option taking delivery here at the shop in Dallas Texas or we can assist with shipping logistics worldwide! If you’re looking for an excellent example of the iconic 1980 Ferrari 308 GTBi with the very desirable GTB Hard top, you won’t find a better example that’s priced to sale!

“I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.”

Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard.

Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born.

Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more.

They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile.

Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.”
