1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina

19579roadItaly

Engine: 2.97L V8, transverse rear-mounted
Colour: Ferrari Fly Yellow

A 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB fiberglass-bodied example, one of only 712 produced before steel-panelled variants replaced it, built for the American market and imported by Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports. Finished in Ferrari Fly Yellow over saddle leather, the car retains its original exhaust and shows just over 14,000 miles. Ferrari Classiche certified and maintained by a California specialist throughout recent ownership, it represents a well-preserved survivor of the lightweight 'vetroresina' series.
