This European-market 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB left the factory as one of approximately 800 fiberglass-bodied vetroresina models and has since been dismantled and modified in the style of a Michelotto rally car. The unfinished project has involved fitting the chassis with a Group 4–specification roll cage, mounting lightweight composite body panels from Makela Auto Tuning in Finland, and installing a Peterson oil sump, a CBR oil cooler, Superformance brake calipers, and Wilwood hydraulics. The 2.9-liter F106 quad-cam V8 has been disassembled and overbored, and it is accompanied by a five-speed manual transaxle. The partially finished cabin is outfitted with a single Racetech seat, a MOMO steering wheel, and a custom dashboard housing AutoMeter gauges. A collection of uninstalled body panels, acrylic windows, exterior lights, and other components will accompany the car. This Ferrari rally car project is offered on dealer consignment in California with a clean Montana title.
A Group 4–specification roll cage was added to the chassis at Sean Creech Motorsport in Jupiter, Florida, along with steel plate reinforcements. It was then sandblasted and powder-coated in light gray at Tolliver Powder Coating in West Palm Beach.
Reproduction lightweight composite bodywork was sourced from Makela Auto Tuning in Finland. The panels are finished in white and have been partially fitted to the chassis. Replacement steel rocker panels have been welded to the inner support structure. The doors and hinge mounts received alloy reinforcements, and fabricated hinges were installed along with the latch mechanisms.
The roof was widened during assembly, and exposed seams remain on the roof as well as the front valance. The uninstalled glass windshield is accompanied by an acrylic rear window and door glass. The chassis is currently mounted to a rolling dolly.
Superformance four-piston brake calipers have been installed at all four corners along with two-piece slotted rotors. No wheels are included in the sale.
The composite floor was modified to accommodate a lower position for the Racetech seat, which is mounted to a Sparco base. A custom dashboard was fabricated using alloy sheet and covered with dark gray cloth. The unit houses a switch panel as well as a battery cutoff to the right.
A MOMO Competition steering wheel is mounted to a quick-release hub and paired with a gated shifter. The wheel sits ahead of AutoMeter instrumentation consisting of a 10k-rpm tachometer as well as auxiliary gauges for fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature, and voltage. The car does not have an odometer, and true mileage is unknown.
Dual Wilwood brake master cylinders have been installed up front.
A Peterson oil sump and a CBR external cooler have been mounted at the back of the car.
The 2.9-Liter V8 has been disassembled, and the cylinders have been overbored. The engine is accompanied by a five-speed manual transaxle.
The engine number is shown above.
A crankshaft, cylinder heads, carburetors, intake manifolds, and exhaust headers are included in the sale along with other parts that are shown in the gallery.
Build records will also accompany the car and can be viewed in the gallery.
