Brad, I just ran across this thread and your post today. It's been a year and one week since you made this statement. So, as a followup, have you made the plunge yet and purchased that first Ferrari? Kevinwi
Originally purchased in Nederland by Dutch race driver, Hans Hugenholtz (search wiki info), then exported to America where it was federalized. In the collection of Gold's Gym owner with license plates "GOLD'S" for awhile. Purchased by me last year with 33,000 original miles (in 24 years). I put 3,000 on it since. This car has never been restored, is in original top physical and mechanical condition with everything working. Car looks like it did when new.

I do believe the black one is a real 288 GTO. I remember seeing the picture before. Wheelbase looks longer also.
Oh, the horror, the travesty! Why take one of the world's best handling cars and turn it into a dragster? And that thing in the picture just above the 288: What was that guy thinking? Personally, I've never seen a cosmetic modification done to the body of a 308 that improved it in any way - and that goes for the GTO "rebodies," too!
That most likely is not a 308 turned into a dragster, so please don't panic. That is a ground up tube chassis race car that happens to look like a 308 for the sake of "uniqueness". I do agree that it is pretty hard to do anything cosmetic that improves a 308!
You don't think the 308 chassis will take a front engine with 8000 horse power? I think this was a better use of a 308 body than the Pasta Ferrari on Monsters Garage
was an exciting moment! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Unless you call the 288 GTO a modification to the 308 body those smoothe, bulging fenders really look great!
Chris, Remind me what the story is on the rub rail around your 308's belt line. There is a car in Bloomington,Indiana with that as well and the paperwork looked as if it was a dealer installed option. These are the only 2 I've ever seen like that.
I have seen that on a few other cars. The owner of the one here in the front range of the Rockies area told me it was a dealer option.
I don't know it was on the car when I bought it. Car was originally sold in France. It is quite a heavy piece of rubber, with threaded grommets imbedded.
