Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina - Original Paint

Yes, I’ve heard of it. That’s too much for me. What next, taking air samples out of the tires to see if that’s original? The gas in the tank?

I heard that in some concourses now, if 2 cars are both beautifully original and hard to split on points, original tyres can make a difference.  Apparently, there is some trade in really old tyres (date matched to the vintage of the car) and matching the original specs.  I guess you could trailer the car to the show site and ease off gently, hoping the air stays in those tyres for the day!  Anybody else heard this?

I still have the original factory metric tires from my Testarossa. Of course, they’re on the factory wheels, which are up in my attic. But pristine. J

It’s in an excellent, honest condition, but, it’s missing the emissions air pump and the fact they claim – with excitement – that it still has the original tires on the rims... Yikes. Even when I bought my GT4, it had the original XWXs and they were hard as hockey pucks. Had ZERO grip left and they were only 25 years old at that point. 41 year old tires on this? They could probably support the car without any air in them. Scary.
