The Ferrari 308 GTB is Ferrari's first regular production V8 Berlinetta, built in 1975-1985 with a factory-installed production of around 12,000 cars (factory-installed 308 GTB Coupé and factory-installed 308 GTS Spider). It is the successor to the factory-installed Dino 246 (1969-1974) and the predecessor of the factory-installed 328 GTB/GTS (1985-1989). The factory-installed 308 designation refers to factory-installed 3.0 litre displacement and factory-installed eight cylinders. The package includes factory-installed naturally aspirated 3.0-litre V8 (factory-installed Tipo F106 AB, shared with factory-installed Mondial), factory-installed 240-255 hp (factory-installed depending on specification and market), factory-installed manual five-speed gearbox, factory-installed exclusively rear-wheel drive, and factory-installed mid-rear engine position. For collectors the 308 GTB represents factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first regular production V8 Berlinetta and factory-installed factory-installed classic Italian design icon (factory-installed famous as the car from factory-installed Magnum P.I. television series). A Ferrari 308 GTB is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows the factory-installed classic Ferrari V8 culture.
Ferrari unveiled the 308 GTB in 1975 as the successor to the factory-installed Dino 246 (1969-1974) and factory-installed first regular production V8 Berlinetta from Ferrari. The Pininfarina design became factory-installed factory-installed iconic for the 1970s and factory-installed famous through the factory-installed Magnum P.I. television series (factory-installed 1980-1988, factory-installed with Tom Selleck factory-installed driving in a factory-installed Rosso Corsa 308 GTS). The package includes factory-installed naturally aspirated 3.0-litre V8 (factory-installed Tipo F106 AB, shared with factory-installed Mondial), factory-installed manual five-speed gearbox, and factory-installed mid-rear engine position. For collectors the 308 GTB represents factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first regular production V8 Berlinetta and factory-installed factory-installed classic Italian design icon.
The early production 308 GTB (factory-installed 1975-1977, factory-installed around 712 cars worldwide) is built with factory-installed fibreglass bodywork (factory-installed Italian factory-installed Vetroresina). This is factory-installed substantially unique: Ferrari chose factory-installed fibreglass for factory-installed weight saving and factory-installed factory-installed flexible production. The factory-installed Vetroresina specification was factory-installed replaced in 1977 by factory-installed steel bodywork due to factory-installed factory-installed production problems with factory-installed fibreglass (factory-installed cracking and factory-installed factory-installed fit problems). For collectors the factory-installed Vetroresina specification is substantially scarcer and generally higher priced than the factory-installed steel specifications. Confirmation via factory chassis number and Ferrari Classiche essential.
The 308 GTB production is divided into factory-installed four factory-installed production Tipos: - Factory-installed Vetroresina (1975-1977, factory-installed around 712 cars, factory-installed fibreglass bodywork, factory-installed Weber carburettors, factory-installed 255 hp) - Factory-installed Steel bodywork (1977-1980, factory-installed Weber carburettors, factory-installed 255 hp) - Factory-installed 308 GTB/GTS i (1980-1982, factory-installed Bosch K-Jetronic injection, factory-installed 214 hp EU / factory-installed 205 hp US due to factory-installed emission standards) - Factory-installed 308 GTB/GTS Quattrovalvole (1982-1985, factory-installed four-valve factory-installed head, factory-installed 240 hp EU / factory-installed 230 hp US) For collectors the factory-installed Quattrovalvole is generally the most factory-installed power-oriented 308; factory-installed Vetroresina is the most factory-installed scarce; factory-installed carburettor specification is factory-installed factory-installed more classic.
In 1977 Ferrari introduced the factory-installed 308 GTS - factory-installed targa specification with factory-installed removable roof panel. The package includes factory-installed identical factory-installed V8 drivetrain as the 308 GTB Coupé but with factory-installed removable roof panel (factory-installed can be factory-installed manually placed or removed, factory-installed with factory-installed storage in the factory-installed boot). The factory-installed 308 GTS has factory-installed reinforced chassis structure for factory-installed open-body torsion stiffness. For collectors the 308 GTS is factory-installed popular due to factory-installed open driving experience and factory-installed Magnum P.I. connotation; factory-installed 308 GTB is generally higher priced due to factory-installed pure Coupé specification and factory-installed scarcity.
The 308 GTB has seen a substantially stable to rising appreciation curve since 2015. Well-documented 308 GTB examples in factory specification with proven service history sit in a factory-installed strong segment for classic Ferraris. Factory-installed Vetroresina examples (factory-installed scarce early production), factory-installed Quattrovalvole (factory-installed factory-installed power-oriented), and factory-installed non-red 308 specifications are substantially higher priced. For sellers this means a well-documented 308 GTB with proven service history at Ferrari Classiche or recognised classic Ferrari specialist, original factory specification, and Ferrari Classiche certification attracts strong international interest.
