Newsletter 568: King of the 308
Ramsey bought the 308 in May 1976 from a dealer in Rome, and invited the Road & Track magazine to test drive the car. However, by the time the magazine hit the newsstands, the 308 had already crashed at another Ferrari event, and Ramsey had to decide what to do next. The answer was not long in coming: he brought together several famous friends, a racing team and a crashed Ferrari that could not be legally registered for road use, and decided to turn the 308 into a race car. What comes to be a "scratch" build but in 1/1 scale. XD
The Ferrari was rebuilt and adapted for racing, with Paul Newman as driver and Budweiser as sponsor. Raced in the SCCA series, the car proved to be really fast but unreliable, so at the end of the season it was totally rebuilt to race again in 1979. Then the 308 was impounded by US customs agents at the worst possible time: an important sponsor party with the Ferrari at center stage. No one on the team had realized that the Ferrari had stayed much longer than the legal time since its arrival to the United States. Ramsey had imported the car on a six-month exemption, a period that expired several years earlier, so the result was that the Ferrari sat in a garage, deteriorating on its trailer for nearly ten years. :(
