1975 308 Gt4 - California on 2040-cars

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.

Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt

Fri, Sep 18 2015

FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.

Ferrari Driver Academy heads to Florida for the winter

Sat, 30 Nov 2013

Retirees and Girls Gone Wild camera crews aren't the only ones who go to Florida for the winter. So is a contingent of aspiring formula racing drivers taking part in the new Florida Winter Series being set up by the Ferrari Driver Academy.
The program is being set up in response to a lack of suitable weather at circuits in Europe, which would otherwise keep rising stars in formula racing from honing their skills during the off-season. Toyota runs an off-season series in New Zealand, but Ferrari is heading to the most southern of these United States to give its prodigies some much-needed track time.
Set up as more of a training program than a competitive championship, the FDA Florida Winter Series is based around a field of 15 aspiring drivers piloting the Formula Abarth-spec Tatuus FA010B, with a 195-horsepower engine furnished by Fiat Powertrain Technologies and an engineer for every three cars in the series.

Watch this Ferrari 288 GTO get a top-flight detailing job

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

Detailing was once the last thing we had any interest in doing, and if such a thing were possible we had even less interest in watching someone else detail some other car. We don't feel that way anymore, fascinated by the minutiae uncovered in while watching Todd Cooperider and Polished Bliss detail some examples of Prancing Horses.
Next up on the detailing honor roll is Larry Kosilla of Ammo NYC. Company founder Kosilla said he has wanted to be the best detailer on Earth ever since he was a kid, and his company makes products to serve detailers with that kind of passion. Now, we can watch him put his knowledge and elbow grease to work on a Ferrari 288 GTO.
The biggest issue with the eighties wondercoupe is that it is made of three different materials, each of which will cause the same coat of paint to react differently to the same products according to Kosilla. There's also the fact that he's working in what appears to be a rather poorly lit garage, but by the time he gets to the end of the two-day job it's clear he knows exactly what he's doing. Detailing school begins in the video just below.
