26247 was completed in October of 1978 wearing Rosso Corsa over Black leather upholstery with dark Blue carpets in Berlinetta coachwork and sold new on February 10, 1979 by Grand Prix SSR Co. of East Setauket, NY. Now showing just 33,750 miles - believed to be original, this 308 retains much of its factory equipment and is presented as a solid and sorted ideal driver.

Carbureted 308s, especially in GTB form are an absolute treat to experience, both in their performance capabilities and sound!

The Ferrari's cabin remains in excellent preserved condition with original fabrics, equipment, Sigla and Securit glass. Its fitted electronics are in proper working order, including the clock. Older exterior paintwork is displayed on the body, with visible finish inconsistences, blemishes, and crazing throughout the lacquer. Both stowage compartments are orderly, with spare tire assembly up front and zippered cover in the rear luggage compartment - containing a complete original tool kit, emergency light in pouch, jack in roll with tow hook, tire iron and belts. Original 7.5 x 14" Cromodora wheels remain fitted on the GTB with correctly sized 205/70VR14 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires, dated 2019. The underside is recently detailed and shows well. Additionally, the GTB retains its Pininfarini body number stamped on the front and rear bonnet lids.

An April 2017 "30K Major Service" was performed on the vehicle including sway bar bushings, front steering rack, tie rods and 4-wheel alignment. This was followed by a February 2019 assessment and Belt Service performed by Ferrari of Central Florida, Winter 2019 fuel system and general repairs by Ferrari of Central Florida. February 2020 "Major Belt Service" by Tim Stanford Foreign Cars, August 2020 air conditioning and fuel delivery rebuilds, Winter 2020 and 2021 inspections. The 308's emissions smog pump was removed by a previous caretaker.

In addition to the 308's tools and emergency accessories, it appears all original books accompany, including the Owner's Manual, Sale & Service Organization booklet, (VIN matched) Warranty Card & Owner's Service Book and Consumer Information Manual in their original Ferrari leather folio. Early 308 GTB's have established themselves amongst most desirable V8 Ferraris, especially in carbureted form. Here is a thoughtfully preserved and maintained Coupe, complete with ALL original accessories, fully serviced and ready for driving enjoyment.
