Highly desirable early-production 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB “Vetroresina,” build number 52, finished in its original Euro specification and equipped with the rare and performance-focused dry sump lubrication system. As one of only 808 fiberglass-bodied examples built between 1975 and 1977, this 308 is part of a short-lived and celebrated production run that marked Ferrari’s first use of a V8 in a mid-engined, two-seat road car. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina and bodied by Scaglietti in lightweight fiberglass, the Vetroresina 308s are 330 pounds lighter than their steel-bodied successors, offering purer driving dynamics and greater performance. This car retains its original drivetrain, including the carbureted 3.0-liter F106A V8 mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, and delivers the full 255 horsepower available to European-market cars—making it the highest-output version of any 308 GTB variant.
