What’s special about this listing

This Ferrari 308 GTB was originally sold in Tucson AZ and has remained in Tucson throughout its four-owner life here. It was regularly maintained for most of this time by Deering Automotive. I bought it through that shop in 2011 from Bob Deering's attorney friend who sold it due to his arthritis impairment in driving. I am selling now thirteen years later for the same reason. I love this car but find that I no longer can drive it. I have retained the original front bumper and grill and the original rear undercar exhaust fence. I recently changed the steering wheel for arthritis help but retained the original. Mechanically the car is as original except for electronic ignition added 25 years ago by Deering Automotive and removal of the car's heater. The AC works perfectly here in Arizona heat. The car was manufactured in Dec 1977 during the first year of steel bodies but arrived in Tucson in 1978. This Ferrari has had consistent belt maintenance and been driven regularly. Bob Deering died a few years ago but this car's mechanic from that shop continues its regular maintenance now.
