Vehicle Description

Euro 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB now available with Gulf Coast Exotic Auto ** Classiche Ceritified ** $130K Restoration ** Major Service ** Axl Rose **This European-market 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB is an exceptional example of one of Ferrari’s most iconic models. Originally delivered new in Milan, Italy, it underwent a comprehensive $130,000 restoration in Paris, France in 2019 by the renowned L’Art De L’Automobile before being imported to the United States. Finished in the rare and factory-correct Bianco Polo Park (white) over a refreshed black leather interior, this 308 GTB is Ferrari Classiche Certified, with documentation included. As an added note of provenance, the car was also previously owned by Axl Rose, frontman of Guns N’ Roses. Power comes from a 2.9-liter quad-cam V8 with a dry-sump lubrication system, paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. The mid-mounted engine benefits from a recent major service in 2021 and extensive mechanical attention during the restoration, including replacement of the clutch pedal assembly, fuel crossover hoses, A/C belt, tensioner bearings, and oil pressure and temperature senders. The car runs and drives incredibly well and remains true to its original Euro-spec configuration, which includes a single exhaust outlet and Italian-language Veglia instrumentation. The striking exterior was disassembled and refinished to a high standard during the restoration and features pop-up headlights, a vented rear decklid, and silver 14-inch five-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin XWX tires. Inside, the black leather upholstery was refreshed and features bolstered seats, a gated dogleg shifter, electric windows, air conditioning, and an Alpine stereo paired with Kicker speakers. A leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel fronts a 280-km/h speedometer and 7,700-rpm redline tachometer, along with an analog clock and oil temperature gauge mounted in the dash. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 74,000 kilometers (~46,000 miles). The car includes its Ferrari Classiche Red Book (dated March 2016), manufacturer’s literature, original tool kit, and a signed photo of Axl Rose. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable and collectible 308 GTBs available. With its combination of Euro-spec features, Classiche certification, high-end restoration, and celebrity ownership, this Ferrari is not only a stunning classic but also a strong investment-grade collector car.
