Ferrari 308 GTB Koenig

Although this 308 has a lot of character. driving it is a bit of an issue. I am 6'4" so I have been sticking to my larger cas as daily drivers during the summer. I would much rather see someone else enjoy this Ferrari. It beats collecting dust in the garage. There are some minor chips in the paint. but nothing that would discourage anyone from purchasing it. The car was repainted when the Koenig widebody was installed. I recently had the car tuned up and changed the water pump and fuel pump. As you can see in the photos. there are 2 sets of wheels.

I have a friend in CA that will custom make any type of wheel for this 308 GTB Koenig.

This is a perfect opportunity to own an original 1977 Koenig. The rest of my collection is located North of Chicago. where I am from.

Feel free to message me to set up a time to take a look at this vehicle in person. I recently spent 6. 00 on maintenance work. I have more pictures here.

I did a little research and found out this cars was delivered to France. You can see some type of badge in the pictures that identifies this as a French import. I also researched Willy Koenig

. The company was based in Munich. in the south of Germany. The story starts when Willy König (or Koenig whatever you want) bought himself the first Ferrari 365 BB in Germany. back in 1974. Willy König was a car racer and a publisher at the time. Because he wasn't pleased with the performance of his new Ferrari he had it modified by engine-specialists and coachbuilding companies to suit his demands of creating the ultimate racing car for the streets. Soon other people got interested in König's modified 365 BB the hobby was turned into a professional business: Koenig-Specials was born in 1977.

This is a 1977 car. This may be one of his first Koenig modified cars. It is definitely the first year he produced them.

Koenig-Specials outsourced it's modifications to companies and specialists with experience in the business. The engine tuning was often done by Franz Albert and many of the widebody designs were done by Vittorio Strosek. who later started his own Porsche tuning-company.

The car needs new tires and wheels. The wheels right now are not sized correctly. It definately drives but will need these new tires to reach its full potential. The interior looks great. I do not have the stereo hooked up. The drivers window rolls up and down very slow. The passengers window is hit or miss. The drivers door handle is loose. There are a few chips and scrapes but not offensive. The left front tire rubbed up against the wheel well and rubbed off some paint.

I reserve the right to end this auction. If you don't have the money to purchase this car. enjoy the pictures but don't bid on it. This is a unique great car.
