This is a Ferrari 308 that has been modified to a 288 gto rebody. I bought this car from an auction and the previous owners name listed on the title is Robert Norwood. This car was owned by Bob Norwood. If you know about Ferraris you probably have heard of him, if not do some research on the web. He builds and mods Ferraris and has been doing it for years and has had cars in and on the cover of road and track, motor trend, and car and driver along with other magazines. He holds many Ferrari records on speed and is known for building super nice Ferraris from the ground up. I have seen GTO rebodies bring a lot of money here on ebay but the difference is Bob Norwood had the real 288 Gto parts that he used on many of his if not all so he was building as close to a real 288 gto as possible. By the way factory built 288 gtos are selling for up to 1 million dollars at the moment and only 272 were built so this is as close as it gets. If you notice this one has fuel doors on each side which is only on the 288 gtos. Most rebody cars have only drivers fuel door and nothing on passenger side. This car has some missing parts like motor, trans, center console, speedometer, cluster, bumper parts, rear window, rear engine hatch, stuff like that. This car is a rolling chassis with no motor or trans. It has the 17 inch wheels with 17x13 in rear with Michelin Pilot 335 tires on rear. Some pics show the passenger Ferrari shield on the fender but it is now missing because someone wanted a souvenir and stole it. Door latches don't work so there is a cable to open them for right now. Car has radiator in front and wiring harness parts sitting inside engine bay. The car has some nicks and paint chips around it here and there probably from sitting around at an auction. The passenger door upper front edge has a split in fiberglass. I took a pic. Car has no keys so they are missing also. Please look close at pics and let me know if I can answer anything else for you. Cash only. I cannot release the car or title until cash in hand or either the check or wire has cleared. My bank puts hold on out of town checks even if they are cashier so just letting you know I must have the cash in my hand before releasing car. Choose your motor you want to install and have a rare collector car. This Ferrari is being sold as-is with no warranty or guarantee. I already have offers of more than the starting price so it is not going to get any cheaper but if the offer is right I may be ending the auction early. Thanks and good luck bidding

Ferrari to reveal exclusive F12 NART next month in LA
Mon, 15 Sep 2014While denying his tenure was coming to an end just prior to his resignation last week, outgoing Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo hinted at two new models to be revealed next month. One we anticipate to be a new version of the 458 - either the new turbocharged M model or the limited-edition Scuderia Spider - to be revealed at the Paris Motor Show on October 2, and the other we knew would be a strictly limited special exclusive to North America. And now we appear to have an idea of what that model will be.
According to Automotive News, we'll likely be looking at a version of the F12 Berlinetta decked out with the blue and white stripes pioneered by the North American Racing Team (NART) and most recently applied to the 458 Speciale. The special model is also likely to get custom bodywork and a revised interior - similar to what Ferrari Special Projects does for individual customers, but produced in a limited run of 10 examples.
All 10 of those are likely to already have been spoken for, with a price tag tipped to exceed $3 million apiece. The model will be revealed on October 12 at a special event in Los Angeles marking 60 years of Ferrari in America which will likely be Montezemolo's last event as chairman before handing over control to Sergio Marchionne and collecting his eight-figure severance package.
Ferrari pays tribute to Niki Lauda with one-off 458
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Though Niki Lauda may today be chairman of the Mercedes F1 team, anyone who's seen Rush will know that he's inexorably tied to Ferrari. And it's that bond that Ferrari has celebrated with this special-edition 458 Italia.
Commissioned by an evidently dedicated fan through Maranello's Tailor Made program, this one-off 458 features a red paintjob with white roof and gold wheels. It's a livery that apes the cars Lauda drove for the Scuderia in the mid-70s, and carries through with tricolore racing stripes over the roof and throughout the red-stitched black leather interior.
Not the most subtle treatment we've seen, but then the Italia is hardly a subtle car to begin with. Lets just hope this particular example manages to steer clear of going up in flames as have so many 458s - and one notable 312 T2. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
Ferrari patents new electronic steering assist
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Automobiles keep getting more and more advanced, with computers playing an ever-increasingly vital role in their operation. But some things remain the same. Despite more advanced (if not necessarily better) technologies available, we still burn fossils to fuel our engines, we still check what's behind us in actual mirrors and (with few exceptions) we still turn a steering wheel mechanically connected to the front wheels to change directions. But that doesn't mean automakers aren't working at new solutions.
We've sampled electric steering systems developed by Japanese automakers like Honda and Infiniti that disconnect the front wheels from the steering column, but while those systems may be the way of the future, they leave the driver feeling physically disconnected from the road. Ferrari, however, has a different idea.
Instead of either relying completely on a traditional system or replacing it with an entirely digital one, Ferrari appears to have found a sweet spot in the middle. According to a patent filing obtained by Evo, Ferrari is developing a system that still uses a direct mechanical steering linkage, but enhances it through the use of software that corrects for certain inconsistencies.
