1975 308 Gt4 - California on 2040-cars

Year:1975 Mileage:92000

Location:

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.

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.
The front valance is brand new. I was able to find a NOS after extensive search.
Both front seats leather were completely reupholstered.
Complete new wool carpet inside the car.
Complete new carpet in the trunk area.
New Momo steering wheel. I also have the original steering wheel that is in good condition and comes with the car.
Vitaloni power left and right mirrors. These are the same power mirrors that were equipped on the Ferrari BB512.
All the doors weather stripping are new.
All front window channels for the power windows and the fixed front door windows are new.
All front window outside rubber and inside felt are new.
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.
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.
All smog equipment has been removed from the car.
Brand new European model Ansa exhaust system. No catalytic converter. The car sounds awesome.
Brand new European model stainless steel front and rear exhaust headers
All front and rear A-arms bushings both inner and outer were completely replaced. I mean every single bushing.
Ball joints were replaced.
All bushings for the sway arms were replaced.
All bushings on the Koni suspensions were replaced.
Steering tire rod ends were replaced.
Car was aligned.
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.
The replacement of all the bushings, and the wider tires makes this car very tight and enjoyable to drive.
New Bosch battery.
Cold air conditioning.
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 2^nd 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.

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959

Thu, Apr 9 2015

There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Ferrari gives employees record $5,600 bonus on strong year

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Ferrari has got to be a great place to work. In fact, it's named as one of the best places to work in Europe year after year. Add to that the pride of making some of the coolest cars in the business, running one of the winningest teams in all of motorsports (even if the Scuderia isn't doing so well thus far this season) and all around standing for the best Italy has to offer, and you've got the makings of a dream job. And it just got a bit sweeter.
That's because Ferrari has just awarded each and every one of its employees a bonus of 4,096 euros - the most the company has ever paid. That's equivalent to over $5,600 at today's exchange rates, and represents a whopping 20 percent of the annual salary for a recently hired young employee. Following two advances of 1,000 euros each, that means employees will find an extra 2,096 euros in their pay checks this month, which may not be enough to buy a new California T or 458 Speciale, but should finance a nice shopping spree of t-shirts and paperweights at the Ferrari Store or a family vacation to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi.
The bonuses are part of a deal signed with the union in 2012, but are enabled by record profits reported by the company over the last couple of years. After 2012 emerged as Ferrari's most profitable fiscal year, it moved to reduce production, thereby increasing the value of each new car it sells to drive profits up even higher. Nice work, in short, if you can get it.

Ferrari celebrates at Hong Kong's Asia World Expo

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

More than 600 Ferrari models, representing every era of the famed automaker's production, celebrated 30 years of presence in Hong Kong with a gathering at the Asia World Expo this past weekend. The event marked the largest single gathering of Maranello's sports cars ever organized in China. The weekend culminated with Marc Gene, Scuderia Ferrari's test driver, unveiling the new 458 Speciale.
There are only about 1,700 Ferrari owners in China, and they boast an average age of just 35 years. The young clientele in the Asian market often take advantage of Ferrari's 'Tailor Made' bespoke program and they have a growing interest in racing. The automaker says that many will travel to the Mugello circuit in Italy to participate in the final event of the Asia Pacific series of the Ferrari Challenge in a couple weeks.
"I am pleased to be here to celebrate Ferrari's thirty years in Hong Kong, along with so many owners who share our passion and the search for excellence, exclusivity and innovation," said President Luca di Montezemolo. The video shows hundreds of Ferraris, in popular white, yellow and red, being arranged indoors to form the Bauhinia Blakeana, a five-pedal flower that is the characteristic symbol of Hong Kong. Apparently owners of the more exclusive Blu Scozia, Avio Met and Vinaccia colors were asked to park outside. Scroll down below for a video and press release detailing the event.
