1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi Additional Info:
1982 Ferrari finished inrare Nuovo Giallo (Fly Yellow) original factory paint. Many ask if the car has been repainted, but I assure you that the paint is original to the car. Thecodefor this color at the time was 20-Y-490.The paint is original as are all the interior items, 4 tire rims, spare rimand numbers matching engine. This is FERRARI CLASSIQUE ready.
FCA Member owned car! This car has won many local shows.
Last Engine Out Service? Just last year but only 400 miles ago. All timing belts, A/C conversion from R-12 to R134A, intake hose, oil, battery, filter, and water pump replaced at Roselli Foreign Repair in San Jose, CA. Car is currently in Pennsylvania, just north of Philly.
Car has 100% documented miles. 100% accurate to its current mileage of 17,988 miles. All records, and I mean ALL RECORDS exist from the very first repair to a most recent service just this year at Algar Ferrari. Algar installed 5 new metric tires (even the spare is new - and remain period correct - as the TRX metric tires were installed at nearly $500 each, plus balancing). She was looked over by arguably the most respected Ferrari dealership in the entire country....good to go! In fact they said the belts looked so good they thought they were done within the past few months. As a note if you buy these cars, when new timing belts are installed on a 308,they can actually make a "slapping" sound for a few seconds while the car warms up, then the sound goes away. I have let all my Ferrari's warm up for a 1-3 minutes before driving them.
This car is about as good as a 308 GTSi will ever come. Anything better and you are heading to the Concourse to show it. It has great paint, a miraculous, collector grade interior with no redying of the leather, and all the gauges work. You can set your own watch by this car.
All rims are as it rolled off the factory floor some 35 years ago. The yellow is very difficult to find under 20,000 miles and even at 20,000 miles you could drive this car for 2,100 miles before reaching that point, about 100 miles per month for 2 years. Today, only about 45% of Ferrari's are finished in red paint so seeing a yellow 308 from the 80's is getting exceedingly rare. Yes, more Ferrari's have various paint today, but in 1982 - seeing a "fly yellow" was rare because of the popularity of Magnum P.I. and owners wanting the same car.
I am selling along with my 1990 Porsche 911 currently on Ebay to buy a Lamborghini. There are so many pictures of this car I do not have the space to list them on here. They can be emailed to you, but only if you are serious buyer.
The car has the original Blaupunkt radio and even the manual for the radio. This would be a first time through Classique example. I have done that arduous process 3x with other cars and this is the best of the bunch.
Car has minor blemish on front quarter panel at very tip of car, hard to see. If you look at the very first picture you have to look all the way to your left. From what Algar Ferrari said, this can be fixed paint free, by an experienced technician. With all the work I had invested, nearly $3000 in just tires and some tuning, I did not fix it. I mention it to be an honest Ferrari Club member. If you walked by the car you would not see it. You would need to be pointed to it.
