Selling or Buying a 1984 Ferrari 308 GTB?

The Ferrari 308 GTB was a great successor to the Ferrari Dino 246, although the 308 GT4 2+2 was released in between the two models. Both brilliantly designed by Pininfarina, the Dino 246 and the Ferrari 308 GTB featured elegant, smooth and refined lines, in contrast with the more angular GT4 2+2, which was designed by Bertone. Based on the GT4’s chassis, the GTB was a two-seater, mid-engine coupe with an 8-inch shorter wheelbase. Unveiled at the Paris Show in 1975, the Ferrari 308 GTB’s production started in 1976 and ended in 1985 when the Ferrari 328 replaced it. Three series of the Ferrari 308 GTB were made: from 1976 to 1979, the model was fitted with carburetors and the early examples were equipped with aggressive cams and no emission control system; from 1980 to 1982, Bosch fuel injections systems were introduced in place of the Weber carburetors and the model became the 308 GTBi; in 1983 finally, the brand introduced four-valve heads and the model became the Ferrari 308 QV.
