First Road Ferrari to use Fibreglass in it's construction?

The 275 GTB used fibreglass too.

From a 275 GTB Michael Sheehan article:

"The only major update during shortnose production, beginning with S/N 7315, was the decision to make the firewall, the entire floor, and the rear bulkhead in fiberglass, which helped to prevent the rust problems endemic to the earlier cars."

 

Scaglietti used it in the lightweight 275 GTB/C for the 1966 race season

 

Some 250LM has fiberglass bodies.

hi, my car is s/n 7333 a later production car and it has steel floors and bulkhead.
I have seen fiberglass on later 275gtb's but all were long nose cars

would love to learn more?

thanks Mark

fiberglass trunk floors?
Rear inner fender wells?

 

I have a much later production than that ( 76xx) and has (corroded) steel floor and bulkhead , no doubt!

 

I am not up on my 308/328 history but there was one year when they had a fiberglass body. I am sure there is good info on this in the 308/328 section. tongascrew

 

'76 308 GTB, known as Vetroresina.

Best,

You can go to the 308 GTB Fiberglass Register for more info on the 712 plastic 308's. (www.glass308.com)

 

Some of the 250PF coupes had Fibreglass panels......I have 0953 in restoration and it has a fibreglass trunk lid which is original. I am told but have never seen that some PFs had front ends and engine covers in fibreglass also........

 

Very true, 1471 also has the fiberglass trunk lid.
