This 308 GTSi Quattrovalvo has been in my family for almost 30 years. My grandfather was the second owner. He
bought this car the same day that Enzo Ferrari died in 1988. This 308 QV is the real deal. Last of the great 308's.
Looks great, sounds great, runs great. It turns heads and gets compliments for being a rare original "triple black"
car. Black exterior, interior, and targa. Factory Ferrari black never been repainted, not even the vents which look
flawless. Engine has never been pulled. And the car has never sat too long. It's always been on the road. Any
Ferrari mechanic will tell you, while a 400 mile a year garage queen 308 might seem desirable to some, it is bad
for these cars. They need to be regularly driven, maintained, cared for, and respected. Our family has done just
that since 1988. Our mechanic in the 80's and 90's was Monaco Motors in Beverly Hills. This 308 is now maintained
by renowned R2 Racing in the Santa Clarita Valley. They did a 30k service in 2012. And regular maintenance since
then, always passing smog. This car has perfect hoses and belts. New plugs and wires. New fuel pump. Starts up
beautifully and runs so nice and strong. Clutch is nice and responsive. This 308 has show car looks and race car
performance. Classic 308. New rubber on original 3 piece 16" Gotti wheels. This car also comes with the original
silver 16" QV wheels with matching spare. You get it all!
Even though it looks so good with an aesthetic mod here and there, NO permanent modification has been done to this
car. It can be brought to original in under an hour. I have the original factory side markers, turn signal lenses,
front bumper shocks, and square mirrors. The bumper and turn signal mod is from T. Rutlands. It brings the rubber
bumper inward an inch like the more aesthetically pleasing euro 308 and adds smoked clear lenses. The mirrors are
GTB sport mirrors with custom carbon fiber baseplate mounting adapters that utilize the factory mirror mount
location. No new holes!
Car comes with both sets of wheels, as I stated. Original leather bag for targa top, leather strapped pouch for
jack, and original leather tool pack with all the tools including that handy window crank emergency tool!
I have a clear title in my name along with a recent Carfax vehicle history report showing how clean this car's life
has been. Never in any accident. Always registered in California, always passed smog. I have well documented
receipts for maintenance since I took ownership after my grandfather passed away in 2011.
So here is your chance to own a real deal 308 GTSi QV. One that you won't have to put thousands into to get it
running right. We've already done that for you. This car begs to be driven and has appreciated nicely in the last
few years with no end in sight. We've loved and enjoyed this car for 3 decades. Now it's time for my family to
pass it on to you.

Ferrari USA boss takes over as F1 team principal steps down
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Stefano Domenicali, the team principal of Ferrari's struggling Formula One team, has resigned. Domenicali's term at the helm of the legendary F1 team started with a bang, as the Scuderia captured the constructors' title in 2008, but went downhill rather quickly.
In his tenure, Domenicali, above, has witnessed Red Bull assert its dominance of F1 while the red cars from Italy have languished, failing to even challenge for a championship during the past four seasons. Ferrari's best season under Domenicali was 2012, and it still finished 60 points behind Red Bull.
Domenicali issued a statement saying he took "responsibility, as I have always done, for our current situation."
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.

Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
