1976 Ferrari 308

Ferrari of Lake Forest is Proud to Present this Ultra Rare, one of approximately 800, 308 Vetroresina finished in Picture Perfect Rosso Chiaro over Biege Tradizione Leather Interior.The Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina represents one of the most significant and collectible versions of Ferraris legendary 308. Introduced in 1975, the Vetroresina was among the earliest 308 GTBs and is distinguished by its lightweight fiberglass bodywork, with Vetroresina translating roughly to fiberglass in Italian. Rather than simply being a cosmetic variation, the fiberglass construction was an important part of the cars character, helping Ferrari create a remarkably light and responsive sports car.Designed by Pininfarina, the 308 GTB brought together some of the most recognizable Ferrari styling of the 1970s. Its sharp wedge shaped profile, low nose, sculpted flanks, flying buttresses, and signature NART inspired rear treatment give it a presence that remains unmistakably Ferrari. The Vetroresinas early specification makes the design feel even more purposeful, with a simplicity and lightness that became increasingly difficult to find as production evolved.Power comes from Ferraris 3.0 liter DOHC V8, mounted longitudinally behind the cabin and paired with a five speed manual transmission. The combination delivers the mechanical character that defines the great Ferraris of the era, with a responsive chassis, communicative steering, and a wonderfully theatrical V8 soundtrack. There is no shortage of personality here. Every input feels direct, every shift feels deliberate, and the car encourages you to experience the road rather than simply cover it quickly.What makes the Vetroresina particularly special is its place in Ferrari history. Only a limited number were produced before Ferrari moved to steel body construction, making genuine fiberglass examples highly sought after by collectors. It represents the earliest evolution of the 308 GTB and captures Ferrari at a fascinating point in its history, when lightweight construction, beautiful design, and pure mechanical engineering were still at the heart of the experience.The Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina is more than an early 308. It is a lightweight Italian icon with genuine motorsport influence, unmistakable Pininfarina styling, a legendary V8, and a rarity that makes it exceptionally desirable today. It is Ferrari in one of its most honest forms: beautiful, purposeful, analog, and built around the simple idea that driving should be an event.For more information on this Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina call one of our Ferrari Specialists today at 847.295.6560
