This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION

I purchased this great 308 last summer with the plan to keep it only one year to satisfy my Magnum PI dream. The year is up and despite the protests of my kids, I am selling the car as originally planned.  We have been really happy with our purchase and have enjoyed the ride.  

This particular car was purchased by me because it is a "driver car" and was being sold close to home. 

When I bought it in Summer 2013 it had just had major service done to belts and hoses, etc. which was a key reason I bought it.   I have receipts to verify the completed work.  There are only 3000 miles on the car since the service was completed.  

Since I have owned it I have also replaced the horn compressor ($500), the steering rack ($2000), and have a "new" antenna motor ($400) that is uninstalled currently because the antenna switch is no longer working. I'm told with a new switch the antenna will be up and running.  I have not sought a new switch because I am selling the car.

EXTERIOR
Paint is excellent.  The car was stripped down to the metal and repainted - possibly 15 years ago but the paint remains in very excellent shape.  It's one of the strongest features on the car.
Metal - two very small, discreet and shallow pings on the top of the right fender.  Almost look like light hail but paintless dent repair would handle easily. Very hard to see however w/o being at the right angle and lighting.  
Bumpers - likely original and in fantastic shape - no blemishes.
Glass - two small chips on windshield but no cracking/spidering and no need to take any action on the windshield. 
Removable top in excellent shape - only item to note is minor water marks to the interior/material and cleanable. Exterior is shiny and perfect.  
Tires - older Michelins but tread is good and there's some good life left in them.
Wheels - original likely and in good but not perfect shape. Some rubs on them.

INTERIOR
Carpet very good.  Original floor mats.
Doors trim is good.
Dashboard is excellent.
Rearview mirror not attached - every time I got in car I hit my head on it so I have it off now. 
Center console is worn with some very small rips in the leather that wraps it.  All knobs work with the exception of the antenna switch as mentioned above. 
Passenger seat - leather shows age and is giving way to some of the tan hide color.  Not rips or tears or heavy wear to seams etc.
Driver seat - this is in not as good shape. The entry side to the seat is showing some issues on the seam on the back portion and the lower portion bead is in poor shape - see picture. This seat needs repaired or replaced depending on  your plans for the car. I've had seat covers on them since I owned the car.  Just was my preference so they wouldn't take any additional wear to them.

We have original handbook, tool set in bag, and Ferrari keychain.  

MECHANICALS
Wipers, radio, AC, windows all work. 
Driver window slower than passenger window
Headlights pop up and work well
Horn works with new compressor
Turn signals and brake lights good.
Motor starts reliably and runs well - idles beautifully.
Exhaust still good but old.
Brakes are good.
Oil change 300 miles ago
Clutch is good.

RECENT INSPECTION at reputable local Ferrari repairer (Layland Motors, Canton Ohio) shows need to replace front shock bushings and notes that brake lines are intact but are original and who knows how much longer they will last.
This inspection also noted slight leak to valve.  I have not noted any leaks from oil or any fluids anywhere. 

The inspector noted that this is a very solid "driver" car and that if he were being picky and owned it he would likely put $3-4k into it to get it where he would want it.  

There is a rattling that occurs when car starts particularly - the inspector notes that it's likely a heat shield vibrating agains exhaust.  I note that as the car warms up the rattling becomes much less often.  No impact on drive-ability of car.  

There are no other known issues with this car.  It has been a blast to drive and it gets a lot of attention - including people who want to take a pic with it etc.

This car drives solid and looks really, really good.  Starts every time and idles like a champ. 

I want you to be very confident about this car so please ask questions and I will do my best to answer. 

This car is being sold AS-IS naturally.

I require a $500 Paypal refundable deposit for winning bidder and balance due by cashier's check within 7 days unless Seller and Buyer make other arrangements.

If you want to inspect first I would welcome that. 

I will not be the shipper but I will gladly work with you as you arrange shipping.  

I have perfect feedback and I want to keep it that way so please ask your questions and I will do my best to give the most accurate answer. 

Thanks!!

MAJOR SERVICE WAS COMPLETED ON JUNE 13, 2013.
TOTAL JOB WAS OVER $6500 BASED ON 73 HOURS OF LABOR INC R&R MOTOR.  WORK DONE IN DETROIT.


On Aug-25-14 at 18:31:46 PDT, seller added the following information:

I had a question today about the underside of the car.  I haven't spent any real time underneath but it looks like it's 35 years old but no structural issues etc.  The muffler is not new so it has surface rust on it. It still works fine now.

Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830

Fri, May 3 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Ferrari to launch new model every year, keep production limited

Tue, 06 May 2014

You've no doubt perused the big news coming out of Fiat-Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI today. But at the end of the brand discussions, Sergio Marchionne spoke briefly about an incredibly important, low-volume part of the Fiat-Chrysler empire: Ferrari.
"You do need one of these cars in your driveway," Marchionne joked. And while other brand heads today lined out detailed plans for future product, Sergio's words about Ferrari's next five years were very simple, and very vague.
Marchionne confirmed that Ferrari will launch a new car every year between now and 2018. The cars will have a four-year lifecycle, after which, "M" versions will be produced, with a separate four-year cadence. No specific models were mentioned during Marchionne's presentation.

These are the top 10 highest-grossing auctions of Scottsdale 2015

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Scottsdale always brings some pretty high-value metal across the auction block, but this year saw a particularly pricey array of classics trade hands. In fact, Hagerty reports that, with over $292 million in total sales from the various auction houses present, this past holiday weekend saw an 18 percent increase over last year – the second-highest year-to-year increase in Arizona automobile auction history. The Pratte Collection auction handled by Barrett-Jackson sold to the tune of $35.5 million, accounting for a large portion of overall sales, but even without that staggering array of classics, there was still an enviable array of machinery on the block this year. The highest-value lot not only of this year's event but of any year prior was the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM that RM Auctions sold for $9.6 million. And as you might have guessed, Ferraris accounted for the lion's share of the top ten results this year – including the first, second, third, fifth, seventh, eighth and both the lots that tied for tenth place on the list. In fact, three out of the top ten were Ferrari 275s. Coming in second place was the 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione that Bonhams sold for $9.4 million, which – like the 250 LM – was also raced by Scuderia Filipinetti. It was followed by a '59 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder sold by Gooding & Company for $7.7 million. Barrett-Jackson sold a '66 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake for over $5M, Gooding handled a '62 Ferrari 400 Superamerica ($4M), and Barrett-Jackson's 1950 GM Futurliner brought in another $4M for charity. The remaining top ten was filled out by a '67 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 ($3.6M – RM), a '73 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder ($3.3M – RM), and a '54 Pontiac Bonneville Special Motorama concept ($3.3M – BJ), with a '66 Ferrari 275 GTB/2 Longnose and an '84 Ferrari 288 GTO tying for tenth place at $2.75M apiece by RM.
