The Ferrari 308 GTB, unveiled at the 1975 Paris Motor Show, marked a pivotal moment for Maranello. Designed by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, who also penned the Daytona and Berlinetta Boxer, its sensuous lines were a dramatic departure from the angular 308 GT4 2+2 it initially complemented. This two-seater berlinetta quickly became an icon, embodying the quintessential mid-engined Ferrari experience with its transversely mounted V8 engine and gated manual transmission. Early GTB models, like this example, are particularly coveted for their lightweight fiberglass (vetroresina) bodywork, a feature only produced for the first two years before switching to steel. This 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB showcases the purity of that early design. With 28,687 miles on the odometer, this particular example retains the desirable fiberglass construction, making it one of approximately 712 US-spec vetroresina cars produced. Its manual transmission promises an engaging driving experience, connecting the driver directly to the Ferrari V8's character. This is an opportunity to acquire a significant piece of Ferrari history, representing the purest form of a beloved classic.
