Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino 1975
General description :
1975 Ferrari 308GT4This 1975 Ferrari 308GT4 is a highly original example that would benefit from a straightforward recommissioning. Red with a tan leather interior that's in very good original condition. 55k miles and offered with factory books and tools. It also comes with an extra set of wheels. It runs and drives but should be serviced prior to active road use. It also needs paint and minor cosmetics at this time. A solid and honest un-restored car with a lot of potential. Added to Ferraris model range at the Paris Motor Show in November 1973, the Dino 308GT4 was the marques first car with a mid-engine V-8 layout, and the first Ferrari with a Bertone-designed body. The sharp lines and wedge-like shape contrasted with the flowing curves of the earlier Dino-badged 246 GT, providing Ferrari with an angular 2+2 coup© to face off against the Lamborghini Urraco. It cannot be denied that the 308GT4 is a very well balanced sports car with head turning looks and interesting mechanical engineering. The V8 will provide you with the best sound you can think of. The boot of the Dino fits enough luggage for a weekend getaway, and for shorter trips down to town, the Dino GT4 can even fit your two children at the rear. Combining these aspects, it is increasingly clear why the Dino GT4 has been gaining momentum in the collector car market. The car on offer might thus be your chance of owning a mid-engined V8 at the fraction of the cost of its 70s siblings from the same legendary brand. An increasingly collectible example of Ferraris entry-level sports car. This particular example represents a great opportunity to enter the exclusive world of Ferrari ownership at a bargain price.Offered with Factory Books and ToolsRuns and DrivesHighly Original Example An increasingly Collectible Classic FerrariSuperb ValuePrice: $49,500

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
