So Glen, here's the story. I'm wrong also with the year & model 77, and 308. Gordon had always wanted a Ferrari after tuning & working on them for years before working @ Shelby, he was known as "The Teenage Tuner" (I have the org. photo of him leaning over a Ferrari tuning the Webers, a gift from Gordon) Gordon was still in touch with the Ferrari factory, and asked Enzo for a deal on a new 308
surprising he said yes. We have Enzo's phone# on a Shelby card that Gordon kept with him at all times
Anyway, after picking up his new 308, he was disappointed in the performance, handling, and top speed, after driving Comp Cobras, Daytona's and GT-40's. So first and the easiest way to get HP, turbo it, with state of the art FI. Now it was quick enough but now handling and brakes needed to be addressed. So wheels & tires 15X8 fronts 10X15 rears, 4" & 6" flare's Brakes ended up being 288GTO (Those were damn near the price of the car) I was allowed to drive it one of the last times, and yes it was FAST. The tires Glen were a Prototype set BF Comp R's, super soft compound (even after many years of sitting) He was a Hellva guy, and great writer too, he had another book almost done (Titled Teenage Tuner) and a Screen play of his life, neither was finished, before his passing, I read part of the screen play, it would have made a great movie. I was proud to call him my friend. He gave me one of his most prized possession, a 14k 'Cobra' Gold Lighter, that Shelby gave him the last day of his work there, I'm truly honored to have it. Cheers Gentlemen.
