18879roadItaly
Engine
3.0L V8 quad-cam, dry-sump, ~255 bhp
Colour
Black over beige leather

A 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB in glassfibre (vetroresina) bodywork, one of only 654 left-hand-drive examples produced before Ferrari retired the composite construction after 808 total cars. Delivered new in February 1976 through a Florence dealership in black over beige leather, the car retains its original colour combination, matching chassis, engine, and gearbox numbers, and has been certified by Ferrari Classiche. It benefits from a dry-sump V8 and a circa 80 kg weight advantage over later steel-bodied variants.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
