WTB 308GT4

Me too....

 

The guy running eBay ads has snapped a few up, but good luck in your search!

I would let a dealer like Classic Coach know what you want, and enjoin them in smoking out a good car. Possibly an owner that is on the fence about selling a good example.

 

Call Fantasy Junction and get on the list. Great people to work with.

 

Fence walker!

 

RPM has a car recently restored by Rocco. Amazing quality restoration, it's at the bottom of their inventory page www.rpmvt.com.

Depstien15,

I have an extremely nice 75 308GT4 available if interested. Shoot me an email at [email protected] and I can send details and pictures.

 

Any luck finding a Dino yet?

 

I've never seen these guys before-great site. That is a good amt of $$ for a GT4 but damn that interior puts mine to shame. My fav color combo but I'd rather the boxer matte black on the us cars. Anybody know the history on this one? Was this in MA at one point?

 

Patience is key. I searched/researched for 8 years- seriously for 3 before finding mine. I was picky esp on color of ext / int and mechanicals. At any one time there were 2-3 examples to look at. Now maybe 1 or 2 turn up every 3-4 months so the reduced inventory will make it tough.

I'd contact many of the good reputable independent dealers nationally to help- they know mechanics who know customers, and collectors who would possible sell a car. Many never hit the open market or are sold the day they post in their inventory. In the bay area there is fantasy junction who always find good examples, San Francisco sport cars, and San francisco Motor sports. I know there are several back east but less familiar.

People in the 308 section can hook you up with referrals to mechanics for PPI's if you find an example far from you. Good network and resources here. If you haven't done so yet you might want to post in that forum section. Many others are posting there looking for gt4's. Welcome and glw search.

 

Al Ieardi in Marco island will sell you the best in the world restored GT/4 for 150K.
Steep but at least one F-Chatter thought it good value.

Disclaimer; I know the parties involved but have no commercial interest.

 

Every GT/4 fan owes Al thanks.
His garage is our Aladdin's Cave.

 

Anyone looking for a GT4 owes AL a call. In fact, anyone restoring a Ferrari owes Al a call....He is doing all of his restorations right. My #1 regret is that I didnt' keep my GT4 to have Al work his magic......

Good luck! If the OP can afford it, he will have the nicest GT4 on the planet along with another FChatter.

I just recently purchased a GT4 RHD from Australia. Yellow/Black. Good driver for below $70K. I think these cars are truly undervalued for their performance/rarity. The GT4s have more Hp than the early 308GTBs and it also has the distinction of being the only 2+2 Ferrari that had been raced by the factory. Most are gone and very few remain in driving condition. I heard that there were less than 200 still registered in the US? I suggest not waiting around but getting the best one you can find.

 

The engines are the same, for the years 75-77...

But yes, the GT4 was alwasy given props, as the "better handling car"!!
Shorter wheelbase, IIRC.

Congrats on finding a good (Yellow/Black) one!

 

Any luck?

 

Hi I have a RHD 308 GT4 in the uk for sale, engine etc is good bodywork needs tidying but generally looks ok. I replaced all of the valves last year to run on std fuel. Fitted one replacement piston, it was holed by a broken valve. Recovered the seats with cream hide last year the interior looks tidy. Red with cream leather. I am driving the car quite regularly, it does have minor issues as most 40 year old cars would but generally good. It has the optional rear luggage space rather than rear seats so it is quite rare. I am willing to ship from UK

 

Anybody know if there really are only 200 (or less) of these around in the US?

 

Have you checked the registry thread?

 

Yup, I guess I was thinking the ones on the registry were just Fchaters. I remember reading years ago a much higher number that was the total number of cars imported, but I can't remember what it was or where I saw it. Of course that was 40 yrs ago, plenty of the cars have been wrecked/parted out

 

Given its history as the poor man's Ferrari I suspect that a higher than average number have been lost.
