Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GT4 just sold!

[LSJ (lashdeep]

It is a cycle for collector classics. When they are cheap, the owners will not or cannot spend the required resources to keep them in top shape. As they start to appreciate in value, the cars start to be redone and given the attention their "new" values justify.

It happened with 308 GTS/Bs about 15 years ago and now GT4s recently.

The same went for Detomaso Panteras 10 years ago and now Lotus Esprits.

It is good...especially if you already have one!

It's great to see these types or restorations being done. With the materials, readily available information, resources and knowledge available today, as well as owners willing to pay for it makes it feasible. A car like that is well worth the premium, as the cost and time involved usually can not be recuperated in a sale price. These were few and far between years ago as owners did not want to invest more than the book value into vehicles, especially when a major service cost was more than the vehicles value.

The shop completely restored 5 and freshened up a couple more. Every stud, nut, bolt was replated.

Even made new A/C hoses in house.

Took out the fiberglass floor/front bulkhead for repair while the bare shell was sent out for a chemical dip/strip.

Even duplicated the red fibers visible in the original fiberglass when replacing or repairing. Made new aluminum belly

pans in house. Hade new correct Euro spec mufflers made. Everything we did was x5. OCD times 5.

Even restored the very first 308gt4, s/n 7202. Amazing to see all the ongoing development throughout the series

with bare shells sitting side by side on rotisseries. #7202 had the oval chassis tubing in the rear configured in such

a way as it appeared they were attempting or thinking about a non-transverse mounting of the engine.

Hopefully Rob and Mr. Keegan will chime in here. Rob’s second was a nut and bolt restoration that Brian ran to ground in the parts collection. Guy in Florida did several and the process was amazing. Essentially a brand new GT4 built in 201? I think Brian said the guy in Florida did 3 of them?

I have been meaning to ask you, when did you buy your second? There was one for sale in LA in the summer of 2020. Just curious if you bought it.
