Description:

1979 Ferrari 308GTB Carbureted
Nero/Red Leather
Vin # 30025
Mileage: 35, 354 at time of listing (still driving the car)
3 Owner Car (I am the 3rd owner)
This car was bought from its second owner who had it for over 22 years. It was stored in a dry environment for that time, and was only driven a few thousand miles during his ownership. The vehicle includes all tools, jack, emergency light and books that came with the vehicle. I also have the original 14” Capagnolo Wheels with Michelin XWX Tires (set of 5). The 16” Wheels (set of 4, 7” in the front and 8” in the rear) in the photos were put on the vehicle for my personal driving and will be included in the sale. They were purchased new in June of 2014 with brand new Continental Extreme Contact Tires.
Since my ownership and after the work had been done that is described below, it has been driven on weekends and to shows, and is one of the nicest running carbureted 308’s that I have encountered. The transmission shifts perfectly and sounds great. It currently has an Ansa Exhaust and the US Smog Air Pump has been removed. I do have the factory exhaust and air pump which are included with the car. Everything works on the car and it is a true pleasure to drive.
When I bought the vehicle it had been driven only small amounts periodically, cared for and was completely intact. It clearly needed to be gone over mechanically, and in need of a few items cosmetically. I am not representing this car as a restored vehicle, but as an extremely nice vehicle with fresh mechanicals and improvements on the cosmetics. The paint was in very good condition, the car was repainted the original color the first year the previous owner had it, so the paint is 22 years old, and with several attempts at wet sanding and polishing, we came up with an extremely nice result that you see currently on the car. There are no checks or crow’s feet in the paint, it is very shiny and looks very good from all angles. 3 weeks ago, the car won a Platinum Award with the car at the Regional Ferrari Club Fall Festival in Florham Park, NJ and the car was judged by a current 308 owner. It also won a 3rd place award for the Concours DE ‘Elegance at Ramapo College earlier this summer. The photographer who took the pictures of the vehicle, and is very familiar with Ferrari’s, was very impressed with the vehicle when he was photographing it.
If I were to pick on any items with the car, they would be:
The red carpets are all original. They show very little wear, but do have a nice patina to them.
The paint is 22 years old, but shines very nicely, but not represented as perfect.
Very small screw hole on the panel in front of the fuse block down on the lower left side.
Chrome around the climate control slides is a bit wavy.
There are several other small ancillary items that were done on the car, but below is the list of the major items done on the vehicle:
