I've decided to sell my 1980 Ferrari 308 GTS. I've owned it for ten years and put less than 300 miles a year on her. It has been in my enclosed garage with a car cover over her to keep the dust off the paint and only driven when the salt and gravel is off the roads in the spring , summer time and fall. As far as I know this car has had three owners. The first in California, the second in Flordia, then myself. The second owner let the car sit for over eight years and I had to replace all the belts and hoses as a result. I have recently done the 30K mile major service and have the paperwork. The 30k mile service was a replacement of all the belts and hoses, plugs, filters. The most important was the changing of the timing belt as well as the bearings on the timing belt pulleys. You do not want either of those two things to fail because the value of this car is in the motor. This car has been a pleasure to own once I got the bugs worked out from sitting so long. It's a pleasure to drive on a sunny day with the top off. The motor lopes at idle like a heavy cammed race car. It's exhaust note sings to you going down the road, I've never had the need to turn on the radio. The car has 23,930 miles currently, do the math it is a 1980! The tires are in good shape and the spare is the original. The paint is Ferrari Red, Rosso Corsa and shine like new. Since the 1920s Italian race cars of Ferrari and Abarth have been painted in rosso corsa ("racing red"). This was the customary national racing colour of Italy as recommended between the world wars by the organisations that later became the FIA. The paint is not perfect, but if it was you would worry about driving it rather than enjoying the ride. Nothing is bad about the paint, just small chips from normal driving. No one ever notices they are there but myself being the owner, I know they are there because I wash it by hand. The windows are slow to go up, but this is a problem on all 308s. The original leather seats were replaced by the second owner with Recaro racing seats of the time period. I wanted to replace them but the longer I owned my car, the more I liked them. The radio is an Alpine cassette player also from the same time period. The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975. It was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti who had been responsible for some of Ferrari's most celebrated shapes to date such as the Daytona, the Dino and the Berlinetta Boxer. The 308 used elements of these shapes to create something very much in contrast with the angular GT4 2+2. The GTB/GTS was a 2-seater with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, and has become one of the more recognizable and iconic cars produced by Ferrari to date. The targa topped 308 GTS was introduced in 1977 and was made famous on the television series Magnum, P.I.. The lines are beautiful and is a rolling work of art. I look at the designs of the modern Ferraris and I can still see the styling influences from these 308s. The air intakes on the sides behind the doors are functional and forces cool air into the three liter eight cylinder engine. This is a high revving freewheeling motor that does not red line until almost eight grand. When you keep the RPMs up it produces lots of power. 1980 was the first year a Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection was used. 1979 and older 308s have weber carburetors that take constant tinkering to keep tuned. My car is a targa-topped Ferrari 308 GTS (“S” for spyder). This has a removable center roof section covered in black vinyl and used louvered panels in place of rear quarter windows. Horsepower of U.S. cars dropped to 205 because of ever-tighter emissions in the USA. The Ferrari 308, is immensely popular, it is a rare and beautiful car. It is as close to a work of art as any modern car can be. It is, after all, a Ferrari. The retired owner of the Ferrari dealership in Youngstown, Ohio helped me locate this car and buy it in Tampa, Flordia. He put my in touch with a guy in California that made me a new set of wheels for her. He was licensed to use the Ferrari logo on the wheels. The wheels on her now are the stock wheels, I have just never made the move to buy the new tires and change the wheels. The wheels for the back are a little bit wider so I could put a little wider tires on and then fit correctly. The wheels cost me over two thousand dollars, shipped at the time and are NOT included with this auction unless the buyer selects the buy it now option. I will however give the winner the chance of buying them first before I sell them outright. If I kept this car I would start redoing the leather inside. It is dirty and shows its age. Other than that I'm happy with her as she sits. I've been pricing these cars on EBay and I do not see them selling for less than 30K anymore. These cars just keep going up in value. Now is the time to buy, you will never be sorry you bought one. Just keep it in good shape and make money down the read while you enjoy the experience of owning a Ferrari. I will be sad to see her go, but I'm interested in other things now a days. I'm starting the auction for less than 30K, I will let you guys decide the value of this timeless classic. This car is available locally and I reserve the right to stop the auction at anytime. I will however not stop in auction if anyone bids. I prefer the winner to pick up the car in person, but will work with you if you prefer to have it shipped. A $500 dollar non refundable down payment will be required to be paid at the end of the auction by PayPal and the balance paid when picked up or shipped. I require the car to be picked up two weeks after the auction ends. I will work with you but will not get into storing the car for long periods of time. Please pay in cash, it's less of a problem that way. The title is clean, clear and in my hand. Good Luck in bidding on a super fun to drive Ferrari! |

Ferrari Enzo split in half in crash could sell for millions
Wed, Jan 20 2016The 2004 Ferrari Enzo you see here is quite unlike any other. You see, back in 2006, tech entrepreneur Stefan Eriksson famously sliced this Enzo in half when he hit a pole along the Pacific Coast Highway while allegedly speeding at around 160 miles per hour (as you can see in the image below). And now you can bid to own it. RM Sotheby's will auction the infamous supercar in Paris on February 3. The supercar carries an estimate of between 1.5 million and 2 million euros ($1.6 million to $2.2 million at current rates). Eriksson initially claimed that a buddy was driving when the accident happened but eventually came clean. The authorities charged Eriksson with nine offenses, including grand theft, drunk driving, embezzlement, and illegal gun possession. He was later sentenced to three years in prison. Despite the horrendous damage, Eriksson's Enzo has survived. According to RM Sotheby's auction description, the Ferrari Technical Assistance Service rebuilt the car and added satellite navigation, a Bose stereo, reverse camera, power windows, and a subtle carbon fiber rear spoiler. The team also repainted the exterior in a beautiful shade called Nero Daytona and installed a Rosso interior, which replaced the original combo of Rosso Corsa on the outside and Nero inside. The car has covered 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles) and remained in Europe since it was rebuilt from the untimely accident. The car also comes certified by Ferrari Classiche to confirm its authenticity. The Enzo is a special vehicle even without this one's great story, representing as it does a big leap forward for modern supercars. A 6.0-liter V12 with 660 horsepower sits behind the driver, and a six-speed sequential gearbox gets the power down. We can't wait to see what this interesting example brings at auction. PARIS 3 February 2016 Lot 138 2004 Ferrari Enzo Chassis no. ZFFCZ56B000135564 Engine no. 080164 Assembly no. 52696 ˆ1.500.000 - ˆ2.000.000 To be auctioned on Wednesday, February 3, 2016 Documents: French Certificat d'Immatriculation 660 bhp, 5,998 cc DOHC 65-degree V-12 engine with Bosch Motronic engine management and electronic fuel injection, six-speed electro-hydraulic computer-controlled sequential F1 transmission, limited-slip differential and traction control, front and rear pushrod-actuated double wishbones with horizontal external reservoir coil-spring damper units, and four-wheel ventilated carbon-ceramic disc brakes.
Ferrari takes over Rodeo Drive to introduce F60 America
Sun, 12 Oct 2014Unless you own a very special Ferrari, the only way you were going to park on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills today was to walk there and sit down on a bench. Otherwise, occupying the length of the plutomaniac's thoroughfare was everything from a 1948 166 MM Barchetta, the very first Ferrari imported to the United States, to the brand new 458 Speciale A, introduced at the Paris Motor Show earlier this month. A collection of 60 significant Ferraris were on display to celebrate the marque's 60th anniversary as a US citizen, and it was the most impressive gathering of Italian metal we've seen since the company threw its 50th anniversary event at Pebble Beach a decade ago. How about a Le Mans class-winning 250 GTO, the 1954 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe that won best of show at Pebble Beach back in August, or one of the stunning 330 P4 race cars that was part of the 1-2-3 finish at Daytona in 1967? All parked on Rodeo Drive.
The special-est of them all received an introduction from new company chairman Sergio Marchionne, that being the F60 America. Only for the US, with all ten of them already sold for a reported $2.5M each, the F60 America reaches back to early America-branded offerings like the 340 and 375, and US-focused convertibles like the 1967 275 NART Spider, 1969 365 GTS4 Daytona Spider and 2005 575 Superamerica.
Unlike those Spiders, however, the F60 America is a voluptuous departure from the F12 Berlinetta it's based on, with the subtracted top opening up the flex of its hips, pairing nicely with the swell over the front fenders. As we told our photographer Drew Phillips, we're looking at the future of Pebble Beach, and you can enjoy it in the photos above or the rest of the Ferraris on display in the gallery below.
Ferrari borrows $2.6 billion to finance FCA spinoff
Tue, Dec 1 2015Ferrari announced Monday that it is borrowing about $2.6 billion to finance its spinoff from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Here's how it breaks down: Ferrari NV, the automaker's parent company based in the Netherlands, is taking out loans totaling 2.5 billion euros. That's equivalent to $2.64 billion at current exchange rates, and is divided between a term loan of $2.12 billion and a revolving credit facility of $529 million. The larger term loan "will be used to refinance indebtedness owing to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles," among other purposes. That ought to constitute the lion's share of the $2.38 billion which the Prancing Horse marque was, according to reports last year, slated to pay its current parent company in order to help FCA fund its ambitious growth plans. The separate line of credit is earmarked "to be used from time to time for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Ferrari group." Though Ferrari is not expected to take any other Fiat Chrysler properties with it, the "group" in this case would include its various financial services and distribution arms around the world that may have been separately incorporated. As noted in the statement below, the financial arrangement "represents a further step towards the separation of Ferrari from the FCA Group," following the separate stock issues from both companies as independent from each other. FERRARI N.V. SIGNS ˆ2.5 BILLION SYNDICATED CREDIT FACILITY Ferrari N.V. (NYSE: RACE) ("Ferrari") announced today that it has entered into a ˆ2.5 billion syndicated loan facility with a group of ten bookrunner banks. The facility comprises a bridge loan (the "Bridge Loan") and a term loan (the "Term Loan") of ˆ2 billion in aggregate and a revolving credit facility of ˆ500 million (the "RCF"). Proceeds of the Bridge Loan and Term Loan will be used to refinance indebtedness owing to Fiat Chrysler AutomobilesN.V. (NYSE: FCAU) ("FCA") and other indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes. Proceeds of the RCF may be used from time to time for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Ferrari group. The Bridge Loan has a 12 month maturity with an option for Ferrari to extend once for a six-month period. Ferrari intends to refinance the Bridge Loan prior to its maturity with longer term debt, including through capital markets or other financing transactions. The Term Loan, which comprises a majority of the total facility, and the RCF each have a maturity of five years.
