288 GTO Re-creation on 308 GTB

Starting with a 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB, we have removed the factory front nose and rear clip with
a fiberglass styled 288 GTO body. This car has not only a body conversion with every option
that we offer, including a reworked rear engine bay to accept a custom made aluminum decklid,
¼ windows shaped to scoop fresh air into the engine bay, but a full performance package that
would challenge any driver behind the wheel. With a 348 engine shoe horned into the rear of
the car being fed by two turbos flowing through aero space grade stainless and aluminum piping
with the boost being ready to be cooled by a large water to air intercooler before it is able to
reach the engine. With many upgrades to make 500+ HP the suspension has been redesigned
to accept 550 Maranello uprights with fully adjustable A-arms front and rear, and adjustable
steering mounts to dial in a variety of driving styles. As the car sits there are a lot of options that
can be added and modified to make the car unique and personalized to a new owner.
