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.

Ferrari to debut new twin-turbo California in the spring

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ferrari hadn't made a turbocharged engine since the F40 ended its production cycle in 1992. But that all changed when it helped Maserati develop its new 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8. That turbo engine has so far been shoehorned into the Quattroporte, along with its 3.0-liter V6 cousin that also powers the smaller Ghibli. But soon it'll wear the Prancing Horse badge as further details emerge on the next-generation California.
Set to arrive in time for the spring (likely to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March), the new California will reportedly ditch its naturally-aspirated V8 in favor of a reworked version of the Quattroporte's twin-turbo unit, which at 523 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque is already considerably more muscular than the current California's 483 hp and 372 lb-ft.
The new California will likely be closely based on the outgoing model, but benefit from revised aluminum sheetmetal and an updated cabin with a new infotainment system - two areas in which the current model has scored low marks.

Skip Barber's favorite car is a Ferrari 275 GTB

Fri, Dec 25 2015

"My name is Skip Barber," says the voice at the end of this Petrolicious video, "and I'm fortunate to drive a variety of cars. My favorite car is a Ferrari 275 GTB." If you've ever heard that name before, you'll know it carries a lot of weight, and if you've ever seen a 275 GTB up close – or driven one – you know what he's talking about. Barber is a multiple Sports Car Club of America national champion and one of only a handful of American drivers to have competed in Formula One. But he's arguably better known as the founder of his namesake racing and driving schools, which operate at dozens of locations across the country. He's usually linked most prominently to the iconic Lime Rock race course. Barber rescued the Connecticut circuit when its previous owners pulled out, putting the investment together with some alumni from his school. These days Skip is the sole remaining proprietor, but as you can see from the way he talks about it, he's justifiably proud with what he's done with the place. It's one of the few automotive race tracks in the country recognized on the US National Register of Historic Places, and still hosts top-level racing – including the United SportsCar Championship that will return for the Northeast Grand Prix this summer. Between the racing career he's had, the schools he's started, and the track he's preserved, it's safe to say that Barber has left an indelible impact on the motor racing scene in America. And at 79 years old, he's showing no signs of slowing down. Related Video:

'World's Most Expensive Car Crash' results in 10 charged [w/video]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Justice is slowly being served to those drivers who were involved in a 10-car pile up in Japan last year that saw eight Ferrari models, one Lamborghini and three Mercedes-Benz vehicles hauled off for scrap. As you may recall, the lead driver lost control of his machine, pin balling into those following behind and doing some $4 million in damage in the process. Now the 61-year-old lead driver and nine others have had their cases sent to prosecutors.
The group are currently being charged with suspicion of violating traffic laws. We'll take a moment to wait for the laughter to die down before continuing.
Prosecutors claim the drivers were exceeding the speed limit and not paying attention to the road when the incident happened. Six people were injured in the dust up, but everyone survived. The group was on their way to a supercar event in Hiroshima. Feel free to watch the original news reports below.
