First time offered for sale, a fully restored euro spec dry sump steel 308 GTB. This is an early steel model that was an original survivor with very low miles before we started the full nut, bolt and clip restoration. Our goal was to build the best 308 GTB in the world without any conditions or cost limitations. The car is true to its delivery condition as delivered in 1977, original black on tan interior with black carpets. Best in the world? Perhaps! BODY This car wore its original paint and interior and was in very nice condition before we commenced the restoration. The car was completely disassembled and taken to bare metal. This cars body and chassis were near perfect and rust free (no bubbles of rust or body filler). We used sikkens top of the line products in the restoration to ensure the quality and longevity of the paint finish. The body only required two patches in the rear, but not due to rust. This car was imported to the usa and rear side markers lamps were installed in the quarter panels, we installed new repair panels formed from our own dies. Factory deep spoiler INTERIOR The interior was treated to full Connolly hides, proper factory grain vinyl and wilton wool carpets. When restoring the interior no expenses were spared and the seats are perfect, yes perfect! The Connolly hides make all the difference in the world, the grain, texture and thickness are spot on. Not to mention the smell, heavenly! The entire interior has new foam in the correct thickness giving the car the proper era look and feel. The carpets have the proper European binding and new original heel pads were used, even the dead man pedal cover was replaced. An nos steering wheel greets you every time you enter the car (NOT a reproduction) DRIVETRAIN ENGINE This car has the rare dry sump engine, the best possible combination for a 308. The engine was treated to a full and proper rebuild, even the cam saddles were line honed. We used 82mm higher compression forged pistons with modern piston rings. Every bearing in the engine has been replaced with original units. Only factory gaskets and seals were used in the rebuild to ensure a drip free engine. The entire assembly was balance and blue printed. All new valves and guides were used as well as new Ferrari valve springs. The cams are the factory hot euro spec versions Aluminum castings were painstakingly cleaned by hand until they were perfect.
