I've always liked the GT4 it's got the look of a 2 seater,and it was one of the first cars with cab forward design. Nice car enjoy it! Why are you still here? Go out driving!!

Hi and Happy New Year to all!

Congratulations on your purchase! ...I'm not going to mention how jealous I am.

I'm also a GT4 fan,they're one of the most affordable Ferraris out there.
I think GT4's are great cars, you're a lucky man, hope you enjoy when the weather suits, if your weathers ok....drive it like crazy!!!!

Any Ferrari can be said to look great in red, I do agree with all those who say yours looks great in black,it really punctuates the chrome/aluminium window edges. Looks like a nice clean car.
My personal opinion is the blues offered on GT4's were great too.

Like I said I won't tell you how jealous I am ,But I just might make this a long post....

Can you tell how you purchased your car ,: ie: dealership, private sale, internet adds. etc...

I've looked around the net etc.. for for sale adds. and seem to mostly find 1975 models. Congrats. on finding a newer car, is yours series 2 or 3?

I hope to able to join the GT4 "ownership club" as soon as possible, I keep looking at nice Lambo. Urraco 's, Bertone's "sister" style for the same period, but they're always P250's and I think they'll be underpowered compared to the GT4.

I'll shut up now, I'm still happilly finishing the holliday supply of Heineken, so Cheers, and all the best.

Hi Dan
Welcome to the joys of the GT4 world.
Join the Ferrari Owners site at http://www.owners.ferrari.com. Their parts prices are quite decent. Superformance also had them, although he doesn't list them at the moment. Sodacoms (an FC sponsor) might be another place to try.

Simply Gorgeous! I love the GT4 so much now, the style has grown on me so much since Ive been at this website. I think it is one of Bertone's best, along with the Lamborghini Muira...Like other guys have said, your car looks great in Black!

Congrats!

Dan, looks great in Black! Nice to see the chrome side mirrors! Elvis' GT4 is also black but he has the knock off rims. Mine is a 75 and is Yellow,thinking of a repaint. What is your Serial #? I want to start a GT4 registry.

Sweet!!

It looks great.

Re: Wheels. Apparently 16" rims are the way to go. Getting pretty hard and expensive to find the right TRX tires for the stock rims. I plan to upgrade mine eventually (Still waiting on delivery of my car- shooting for Jan 10).

Oh, and I think Hans will probably chip in at some point asking for the serial number for your car for his registry.

Good Luck,

Dom

Dan, Congratulations! Your car looks great - never seen one in black before. You might check with Rob Garven... he's an Fchat member with a beautifully restored GT4. His email address is [email protected]

it was suggested i repost this from my regional section to the general discussion

my new 1978 308gt4 dino
original with about 50k miles

Upload



just got my first ferrari.
i am very excited to get on the road this spring. im interested in participating in club events and i am curious to know what the other f-owners in my area are like.

i am 32 and inventor/engineer. not real into the show-off aspect of a ferrari, simply appreciate the engineering, style (i have a bertone gt4). and of course i love speed. part of my work is designing sport and military parachutes and systems(i have clocked up to 260mph in freefall).

whats your story?

sincerely,

dan<><>
brooklyn, ny.


p.s. anybody know where i can get the rear license plate light bulb and plastic cover. the one on there is melted a bit i am guessing from using the wring light bulbs.

i am also planing on getting bigger rims and better tires...perhaps the yoko avs sport in 16" rims 8" wide? although i have so far found the whole which rim/tire to chose very confusing...
