Wanted: Ferrari 308 Gt4 Dino Euro Spec

RPM in Vermont has a really cool white one. It's a '75 Euro car

 

RPMVT also has a 1975 US car, which may be easier to title & smog in CA than a Euro car. I've had some seat time in it ...it's awesome.

 

Smog stuff starts with 76' cars in CA.

 

Did you look at the 75 that Beverly Hills has? Even if you don't like it I would be interested in your assessment. Seems like it's in your back yard.

 

Very nice red one with some rare options on ebay this morning, but they want $100K for it. Euro car.

There is or was a brown one on Ebay for about $70K very nice not sure Euro though.

 

I've looked at both BHCC Dino's this week. The black one won't start and is missing the clutch cable. Leather is stiff. Paint passable. A lot of work.

The red one starts but runs very rough. Interior in bad shape. Also a lot of work.

Big project cars, IMO. At 20k maybe worth it. At 35-40? Not so much.

 

Hey Dave,

The reason the black car is missing the clutch cable, in my opinion, is that the friction disc is stuck to the flywheel. This happens with these cars when they are left standing for a long period of time. Otherwise the seller would have replaced the clutch cable, this is a very simple repair, and the car would be much easier to sell. Clutch cables do not wear out or fall off. Freeing the clutch may be more involved esp if the car is not running.

When I asked them if I could have a leakdown test done, they refused stating that they do not allow disassembly of the motor!! So that may be why the motor will not start.

Which one has $60K in receipts? Both of them look like they could use some work.

 

Hi Russ,

Hahaha, that place is something.

The red one has all the receipts. The guy showing me the cars was really trying hard to sell me that red one, claiming it was a much better deal at $40k as it's a "running, driving car" than the black one with the dead motor at $35k. But honestly to me they both seemed like they needed a total restoration. The red car ran so poorly it was laughable. The guy kept telling me "it just needs to run for a while". Uh, yeah. Both also both need body work, either from damage or corrosion. And lots of "little fixes" that will add up as well. For example the seats wouldn't lock in place on the red car. I had to hold the dash with my left arm to depress the pedals.

I'd love to get a Dino, and even though I don't do my own work a project car isn't out of the question. If the cars were priced at $20k or below they'd be decent projects. As they are they're just waiting for an uninformed buyer to come along and buy into a giant headache.

I thin the OP would have better luck with almost any other Dino's out there!

 

I agree. I'm sure BHCC paid less than $20k for each car. They beat me to a 208 project car by a few hours. Total project and they got it for $12k and a few weeks later listed it for $30k in the exact same condition less any of the records that the long term owner gave them. It went to Europe when the Euro was stronger. In my opinion they have no respect for vintage cars. Just flippers.

 

Hello, we have a 1975 308 Dino. Our car is a project car. If you like please call me or email me and I can try and get you whatever info that I have. We are about 40 miles from Los Angeles.....

 

I have had a couple of emails and PM's so here are 25 pictures that we just took of the car......

Here is a link for one .. no affiliation ..

That's not a euro car. OP wants a pre-76 Euro spec car.

 

I shared because OP also stated "Happy to consider either projects or concours cars alike. "

 

Might be worth it if runs ok and you can get it for around $20k.
