1979 Ferrari 308 GTB

​

Quad Weber V8 | Gated Manual | Useable Maranello Icon

​

Autohaus Storage is pleased to present this highly desirable 1979 Ferrari 308 GTB, a steel-bodied carburettor model finished in Rosso Corsa over a Black leather interior and showing 84,407 miles. This example, chassis number 30547, was manufactured in December 1979 and delivered new to St Louis, Missouri, USA.

​

Powered by Ferrari's iconic 2.9-litre quad-cam V8 breathing through four Weber carburettors and paired with the marque's celebrated gated five-speed manual transmission, the 308 GTB delivers the analogue driving experience for which these early Ferrari V8s have become renowned.

​

The Ferrari is accompanied by original ownership records identifying its first owner together with dealer documentation showing delivery through FAF Motorcars Inc., one of the United States' best-known Ferrari distributors during the period.

​

Imported to Australia by the current owner in early 2018, the Ferrari is accompanied by its original owner's books, factory tool kit and an extensive collection of supporting records containing American ownership history, maintenance records dating back to 2010, Australian import and ADR compliance documentation, servicing receipts, and a comprehensive collection of technical literature and workshop information.

​

The current enthusiast owner has undertaken extensive maintenance and sympathetic upgrades while preserving the car's original character. Factory specification remains largely intact, aside from a reversible bumper tuck modification, uprated and lowered suspension springs, powder-coated suspension components and restored Ferrari 328 wheels with period-correct tyres. Included in the sale are the original springs and air-conditioning components, a spare nose cone and rear underbody metal cover. Mechanical works since 2018 include replacement cam belts, tensioner bearings, water pump, camshaft seals, renewed brakes and suspension bushes, fluid servicing throughout, and an upgraded anti-roll bar.

​

Presenting as a highly usable example, this Ferrari offers an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Maranello's most recognisable road cars. For buyers seeking the classic Ferrari ownership experience, the left-hand-drive configuration provides access to a well-documented carburettor 308 GTB at a considerably lower entry point than an equivalent Australian-delivered right-hand-drive example.

​

As appreciation for analogue Ferraris continues to strengthen globally, carburettor 308 GTBs remain among the most sought-after variants of the model range. Combining Quad Weber performance, gated manual engagement and timeless Pininfarina styling, this Ferrari represents an exciting opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
