    After 5 years of Restoration, 22641 is for sale. It wasn't my intent but I found a beautiful 488, and so something must go. I know this will make BigTex very sad.

    Very rare 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB, bare metal restoration, with over 1500 hours of labor just to get the paint and body perfect. It was a straight car and I have all the pictures from when it was taken to the metal, with water sand strip so as not to damage any of the thin metal.

    Then just lots of hand work, to get the car correct. Plus research for parts and gaskets etc. These parts are very hard to find. This is a 4 owner car now, have documents from the 2nd owner and Big Tex had her for about 11 years, before I purchased in 2015. I have a clean Washington Title in hand.

    Was set for the NW Region Ferrari show in Portland this year, but was canceled of course. Feel like it could have won best in class and maybe more.

    I have 2-3 ring binders of pictures and 1 of most of the receipts.

    Was serviced at Ferrari Technology in Orange in June of 2019, complete service. I have all the documents for all these types of items as well. FChat won't let me Load more than 10 pictures.

    Car is set for Bring a Trailer in 2 weeks, but wanted to offer it to someone off F Chat first. Will come with luggage set and all old parts if you want them. There are 30 hours just in the wheels, which were hand sanded and sprayed with single stage paint, and then found someone to paint the logos on the rim, they are not stickers, they also wear brand new tires, with the tire dimension posted over each FERRARI on the rims. A subtle but cool thing, for a car. Tires were installed in April, and came from Coker $2,000 for all 5.

    Upgrades:
    Birdman fuse blocks
    Birdmane window regulators
    Retro-Air 134A AC system
    Upgraded radiator cooling fans

    Other items:
    Rebuilt brake calipers
    New Rotors and pads
    New clutch complete with flywheel

    Very Rare Color:
    Azzuro Metallica 106-A-32 with Sand interior blue carpets- Verified through a fellow Ferrari Member in Italy through the Ferrari historical system.

    Miles are 35,8xx

    Restored beyond any other out there. There was a blue one on Bring a Trailer that sold July 2019 for $90K but it had 55K miles and was resprayed in 1991, and it wasn't a stock car, had lots of different mods to not make it a show winner.

    This car is a show winner, down to the wheels and tires. Over 30 hours of sanding and finish work just on the wheels, which are painted correct single stage, and have painted labels, not stickers. No detail was left out of this car, even the antenna works.

    $129,995.00 OBO. I know this is more than most 308's but this is no regular 308, this is a correct 308 with everything done for the next owner. Was told by a SF Bay Area Ferrari Guru that the restoration was "fantastic".

    Contact me for details, pictures, whatever you like. I'm on the West Coast.

    Thank you, I hope it does go that high, my friend and I have put so many hours in this car. From where it started to now is an amazing transformation. So many stories, laughs and blood as well. From 3 windshields, to polishing aluminum and making a mess in my friends shop, to misplacing the drivers door handle (ended up hanging from a fan somehow) to the spider hatch when I cleaned the car and put in his shop, the warmth from the shop the spiders hatched and there were 1000's of baby spiders all over the car. Times with my son cleaning her again and again. It's a sad day for sure to see what we did, and now parting with her.

    I'm not sad.......it is what it is.

    We are really just care takers of the older cars, as they now have value to outlast us.....

    It's actually fun to relive the memories of it's "Trip Down South", we met Buddy Guy at the Houston Polo Fields, went on to the 2004 Ferrari French Quarter Classic, and ran behind Ralph Lauren's 288GTO thru the French Quarter on the way to a Brunch, with Napolis.

    I cannot speak to the past before that, or to the wide open future, but this car is a runner......you have done a good thing.

    I am out to get the rear stagger slot cover for the muffler as my 22127 needs one too.
    Will advise here how it comes out and the cost.
    The ANSA cannot accept the OEM piece, it has to be custom due to the tip spacing (just ONE inch, wider!!!)

    GLWS!!
