-Marrone Metalizatto with Beige leather interior and Beige carpeting, Restored, Recent full service, 3.0 Liter V8, 5-speed manual, Factory sunroof, Ferrari Classiche Red Book, Exceptional throughout.
After a 20 plus year partnership with Pininfarina, Ferrari utilized Bertone to design its first production mid-engined V-8, the Dino 308 GT4. The decision was made to mount the engine transversely to allow for 2+2 seating, which would complement the 246 GT/GTS in the Dino lineage. The Dino name was retained until the end of 1976, when it was badged as a Ferrari to accommodate for popular demand. During development of the GT4, Ferrari engineers worked alongside Nikki Lauda and Clay Regazzone for several months of testing.
This 308 GT4 was produced in June 1980 and registered as a 1981. It was part of the final production of the car. This example is also the very last one produced with a factory sunroof. An older repaint in gorgeous Marrone Metalizatto that shows exceptionally well, it would be a welcomed concours entrant at a moments notice. It has gone through a complete mechanical refurbishment by Naples Classic Car in the past. It is currently receiving a scheduled, major service to be ready and turn key for its next new owner.
Imported to the United States, it remained in exceptional, fanatic collector care since. Fanatic is the nice way of putting it, it was owned in the past by well-known Ferrari enthusiast owner, Mr. R. Intile. As a friend of Rick's, I can say, this Dino has always been cared for a maintained regardless of cost, "fanatic", no, "psychotic" is more like it. This GT4 had never been released from its garage unless the barometric pressure was conducive to its use! It has always been stored and run on high octane race fuel. Rick, when you see this ad, feel the love, you are as psychotic as we are! :) Thanks for always caring for this GT4 in such a fashion.
Consigned to us by Mr. Intile, the GT4 was then sold to another good friend of Autosport Designs, Inc. It was used seasonally in NY's Hamptons. At this time, this 308 GT4 was serviced, when and where needed at all times to be kept in superb condition. Due to change in direction with regard to the clients collection, the GT4 was consigned to Autosport Designs, Inc. and sold immediately to a collector in New Mexico.
Kept in its most recent ownership for the past three years, this 308 GT4 has once again returned to Autosport Designs, Inc. and offered to market. It has once again been maintained, when and where needed in fastidious fashion.
It is quite rare to see a 308 GT4 in this superb condition, these GT4's are wonderful vintage Ferrari's with rear seating for kids, air conditioning. They are a pleasure to drive and have superb carbureted Ferrari V8 intake and exhaust note.
The GT4 has seen excellent service history with records and has completed its Ferrari Classiche Red Book Certification. It is complete with original books, tools, jack, spare wheel, service records and the aforementioned Red Book. This 308 GT4 is turn-key and ready for immediate enjoyment.
