This stunning Italian Classic has been driven only 37,500 miles in 33 years.  It comes with period correct mint 3-piece BBS 16" aluminum rims wrapped in Pirelli tires (plenty of tread). 


I purchased this fine vehicle from California where it spent seemingly all of its life before I brought it to South Florida.  It comes with the original Ferrari factory congratulatory purchase letter for its first owner.  It comes with the original owners manual and factory tools as well as an extensive service history totaling approximately $30K by its previous California owner (20 years) and myself (6 years).  In addition, the previous owner spent $10K on a top notch paint job during his ownership.  

In good running condition.  Timing belts serviced at 33.5K miles.  Rear brake rebuild and service last year.  Recently had ignition system serviced.  It has the upgraded fuse blocks and the electrics are in fine working order.  An issue affecting these cars at this age that is rarely mentioned is the cats getting clogged.  I had mine removed mine but kept them on hand for the next owner if they choose to rebuild them.  The smog pump is installed in the car but disconnected. If you live in a state that has emissions testing, you will have to deal with servicing the disconnected equipment.  No guarantees. 

The interior is all original showing normal wear (driver's bolster), good stitching without tears.  Having been a California car and kept indoors (garaged), the body on this pre-galvanized 308 (75-82) is way better than most.  Most of the pre-galvanized 308s suffer from rust issues.  It is rust-free with the exception of rust bubbles developing on the bottom of the doors (priced accordingly).  It's a very common problem on these yet most people don't bother mentioning it on their ads.  It has rare mint bumpers and crystal clear (unfaded) lights.  

The A/C is installed in the car but the belt was disconnected.  The A/C was in working order when I acquired it but useless in the summer heat.  If you want good A/C, you need to buy yourself a pricier 328 ($45,000 - $65,000), as all 308s come with sub-rate A/C systems.

Ferrari makes its return to Need For Speed: Rivals in a big way

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

With all the excitement over Forza Motorsport 5 and Gran Turismo 6, it's easy to forget that there's another racing game from an even older franchise coming out. The latest Need For Speed installment, Rivals, is set to hit stores November 15 (this Friday) for the Playstation 4, November 19 for PS3 and XBox 360, and November 22 for the XBox One. As part of the run up to the launch, we have a great look at all the new Ferrari content for the new title, which marks only the second time the Italian marque has been in an NFS game.
The last time we saw a prancing horse in Need For Speed was 2009's Shift, when we got ten models as part of a paid, downloadable pack. In anticipation of Ferrari's return to the series, we've got a gallery of images of some of the featured models, like the F12 Berlinetta (which we've shown you before), the FF, the Enzo, the 599 GTO and both the 458 Italia and Spider. All of which are bound to make for phenomenal tools for escaping the virtual cops.
We'll have a more extensive look at Need For Speed: Rivals in the near future, but until then, have a look at the game's Ferrari content up top.

Ferrari Testarossa featured in retrospective by owner Harry Metcalfe

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Harry Metcalfe, of Evo fame, got our attention earlier this week with a review of the 1954 Series I Land Rover. Today, he's gone a bit more... '80s.
Yes, this is a 1987 Ferrari Testarossa, one of the most vulgar cars from a decade synonymous with vulgar design. While your author might not be keen on its square rear end and cheese-grater doors and fenders, Metcalfe seems to like it quite a bit, giving a detailed walkthrough of his Rosso Corsa subject. That walkthrough includes some time on a subject we can certainly get behind - the TR's flat-12 engine.
Take a look at the latest from Harry's Garage.

LaFerrari testing with turbo V6 F1 engine?

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

If Ford went and tested a NASCAR engine in a production Ford Fusion, it'd just be silly. Ferrari testing its new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 Formula One engine in a LaFerrari hypercar is not silly - it's excellent.
Now, we can't be certain if the video shown above is actually Ferrari's new F1 powerplant. Based on the big roof-mounted intake, the weird sounds coming from the camo'd LaFerrari and the teasers we've been hearing from other F1 engine providers, the race engine is a tantalizing idea.
The other possibility, perpetuated by our friends over at Road & Track, is that Ferrari is using the LaFerrari to test a next-generation powerplant. That looks good on paper, but this car strikes as being far too loud for any road legal engine. What do you think? What's Ferrari up to at Fiorano? Scroll down for the video and then let us know in Comments.
