This Ferrari 308 GTB: A Stunning Revival After a Decade in Garage Neglect

1979 Ferrari 308 GTB

Spotting a 308 GTB on the road is a dream, and it was evident when the folks at JR Garage drove down the street. Compared to modern Ferrari V-8s, this engine still has that raw vintage flat-plane V-8 sound, including many pops and bangs. In addition, the 308 GTB is an “analog” supercar, meaning there are no driver aids to watch your back. For example, there is no power steering, and the stiff clutch pedal makes the 308 much more difficult to drive, mainly if you have never driven a manual car. However, the dog shift manual gearbox is a joy to use. Still, this Italian beauty needs some cleaning, new seats, and electronics to make it worth a garage inclusion.
