1978 Ferrari 308 GTS

 

Internet Data for Ferrari 308 GTS, model year 1978, North America U.S. version with 2-door targa body type, RWD (rear-wheel drive) and manual 5-speed gearbox. Engine: carbureted (a bank of four twin choke Weber 40 DCNF carburetors) gasoline engine of 179 cubic inch displacement with two belt driven overhead camshafts per bank and advertised power of 240 HP/195 ft-lbs of torque. Dimensions: outside length is 172.4 in, 67.7 in wide and has wheelbase of 92.1 in. The official base curb weight is 3225 lbs. Performance: top speed (152 mph) (theoretical); acceleration 0- 60 mph 6.5 s; 1/4 mile drag time 15s/95 MPH. Fuel consumption and mileage: official: 11/18 mpg (U.S.), average estimated combined driving range: 344 miles.

 

The Ferrari 308 has a steel body with an aluminum front lid and a tubular steel chassis, factory type reference F 106 AS 100. Disc brakes, with independent suspension via wishbones, coil springs, and hydraulic shock absorbers, were provided all round, with front and rear anti roll bars. Factory records show 3219 GTS units built from 1977-1980.

 

The Borrani Wire Wheels as used on other models of Ferrari were on the car when purchased in 1985 and were either a special factory order or installed by the original owner.  Michelin Hydro-Edge P195/70R-14 tires were mounted in March of 2007 and have approximately 8000 miles on them now. The wire wheels do have some noticeable rust on them.

 

Original owner’s manual, tools, jack, Ferrari rain poncho, and service invoices dating from 1985 to present included.

 

In October 2006 there was a complete engine overhaul; new bearings, new cylinder liners, new stainless steel valves installed, rebuilt water pump, resurface flywheel, reman clutch, rebuild carbs, reman axles, and many other parts replaced. New A/C compressor, Dryer, Expansion Valve, and converted to 134a Freon. Converted to single distributor with MSD 6 electronic ignition. Replaced shocks. Rebuilt window motors and regulators, restring window glass. Engine tuned to run on regular gas. Work performed by a Ferrari mechanic in Dallas, contact information provided upon request. The motor runs strong and carries good oil pressure. There are a few small oil leaks of course.

 

The paint is still shiny, with a few small hickeys here and there and the interior looks good; a very presentable, mechanically sound driver. A local experienced mechanic has done some work on the car and can vouch for the current mechanical condition. Contact information on request.

 

I am the third owner of this Ferrari and have had the good fortune to have enjoyed it since 1985. A high school friend of mine was the second owner and we drove the car in Arizona and southern California as well as to Speed Week in Monterey in August several times over an almost 20 year period. I purchased it from him in 2004 shortly before he passed away. It had approximately 13,500 miles at that time and had been sitting for some time; that is why the engine overhaul was done. It has approximately 24,500 miles now. Unfortunately for me getting in and out of the car is becoming problematic so I must find it a new, more limber owner.

Ryan Tuerck's Ferrari-powered Scion drifts, crashes, fixes, and drifts again

Sat, Sep 23 2017

We were pretty astonished when Ryan Tuerck and Gumout shoved a Ferrari 458 V8 into a Scion FR-S. And as awesome as that fact alone may be, it's even more amazing that it's a fully functional drifter, not just a show car. Tuerck recently took it out to Portland, Ore. to do some sweet drifting on a mountain road. Unfortunately for him and the car, he did something substantially less sweet right off the bat. As you'll see in the video, in just the second corner of the course, Tuerck drives the front corner of the GT4586 right into the dirt cliff on the side of the road. For a moment, it looks like things are all right, but the car starts pulling to the right and he stops the car for repairs. After fixing bits including a thoroughly bent tie-rod, the GT4586 is good as new. We're glad the car wasn't down for long, because the drifting show following the repairs was fantastic. In the video, Tuerck throws the Scion into high-speed, super smoky drifts. And all of it happens to the tune of a shrieking Ferrari V8. It's well worth a few minutes of your time to watch.

Ferrari to reveal exclusive F12 NART next month in LA

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

While denying his tenure was coming to an end just prior to his resignation last week, outgoing Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo hinted at two new models to be revealed next month. One we anticipate to be a new version of the 458 - either the new turbocharged M model or the limited-edition Scuderia Spider - to be revealed at the Paris Motor Show on October 2, and the other we knew would be a strictly limited special exclusive to North America. And now we appear to have an idea of what that model will be.
According to Automotive News, we'll likely be looking at a version of the F12 Berlinetta decked out with the blue and white stripes pioneered by the North American Racing Team (NART) and most recently applied to the 458 Speciale. The special model is also likely to get custom bodywork and a revised interior - similar to what Ferrari Special Projects does for individual customers, but produced in a limited run of 10 examples.
All 10 of those are likely to already have been spoken for, with a price tag tipped to exceed $3 million apiece. The model will be revealed on October 12 at a special event in Los Angeles marking 60 years of Ferrari in America which will likely be Montezemolo's last event as chairman before handing over control to Sergio Marchionne and collecting his eight-figure severance package.

Ferrari going with turbo V8s, hybrid V12s

Mon, Mar 30 2015

More for less – that's what automakers are striving for: more output with less fuel. For some that means downsizing and employing turbochargers. For others, it means going hybrid. With its latest models, Ferrari has embraced both – or rather, either – but don't expect its twelve-cylinder engines to get a set of snails, or its V8s to get an electric assist. The latest intel paints a picture of Ferrari going two different routes. As it is, the company offers (much like it has for the past several decades) both V8 and V12 supercars, and it's bringing both types into the modern era, but in different ways. As demonstrated with the California T and 488 GTB, Maranello's eight-cylinder models will shrink in capacity but add turbochargers to increase their output while decreasing their fuel consumption. Meanwhile the engine in the LaFerrari showcases the direction in which its twelve-cylinder models will go: hybrid V12 powertrains. "There will be no turbos on our V12s," an unnamed source reportedly told Autocar. "Expect instead to see 48-volt systems on the next generation." With the eight-cylinder models already having adopted their turbochargers, that means we can expect the replacements for the FF all-wheel-drive shooting brake and F12 Berlinetta two-seater to go hybrid in their next iteration. We'd expect the former to arrive first, with the hybrid F12 to arrive sometime thereafter. The company first toyed with the prospect of a hybrid twelve with the 599 HY-KERS concept showcased at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The first production application for the hybrid system was on LaFerrari, but of course the Scuderia developed a much smaller 1.6-liter V6 that's both turbocharged and electric-assisted for Formula One.
