pasta question

Anybody have any experience with late '70s Ferrari 308 GTB? I have been looking at getting into the Ferrari market for a while now, and it may be time to "scratch the itch". I have always loved this model, I am just looking for input... good or bad.

Thanks,
Nick

I have heard service prices are outrageous... so upon seeing your post I googled service prices and found this link.

I have heard that if you buy an older Ferrari, make sure ALL the servicing has been done at the correct intervals, otherwise your relatively inexpensive Ferrari becomes REALLY expensive.

Good luck.

Do a search, it's come up here a couple of times and Wayne even bought a Ferrari at some point and had a thread or two on it.

Not worth it's own thread, hope you don't mind.

Wooden Ferrari? Yes! These are original Pininfarina styling bucks for the 1966 Ferrari 330gtc (top row), 1966 Ferrari 365p (bottom left) and 1964 Ferrari 500 Superfast, and were seen at the L'Idea Ferrari exhibit on the grounds of Forte Belvedere overlooking Florence Italy. The forms were used to create hand-crafted bodies.

The Pininfarina site states �Their collaborators often came from the furniture industry, so they were used to working with wood,� observes Tom Tjaarda, an American designer based in Turin since 1959, who worked at Pininfarina for several years. �That is why, when they made the wooden body bucks and styling models, they could easily translate what people like Pininfarina wanted into three-dimensional forms.�
