Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GT4 just sold!

[cmlf1 (cmlf1]

Years ago I have seen my fair share of 308 GT/4's and there was none 
without rust unless they were seriously refinished. The underside and 
areas of the front frame to body point of these when built were barely 
primed/painted, never mind any rust prevention and as it was not 
uncommon to see spots left bare when manufactured.
They have likely all had rust repair and resprays regardless of how well 
kept, but as Doug mentioned that was par for the course in that era with 
most vehicles.
Example being that when my father first opened his shop in 1976, he did 
a nut and bolt restoration on a 1963 E-Type Jaguar as at 12 years old 
there was significant rust and original finishes were long gone.

         "rust repair"?  "Rust Repair"?    "RUST REPAIR"?
 In the 1970's, and earlier, Ferrari consider the first frame coating 
to be
 hydrous ferric oxides.
 Or . . . . rust.
 (sigh)  as witnessed by stacks of frames in the yard.
 On the other hand - those may have been rejects and on the way to the
 grinderupper.  ??

 In the commentary it was said that the respray was in association with 
rust
 repair.
