INTRODUCTION: Few cars capture the classic Ferrari experience quite like the 308 GTSi. Its Pininfarina styling, mid-engine V8, gated shifter and removable Targa top have made it one of the most recognizable and desirable Ferraris of its era. It may not be the fastest Ferrari ever built, but that's hardly the point- it's sporty, engaging and an absolute blast to drive. This example has been serviced and presents very nicely throughout.
EXTERIOR: The 308 GTSi helped establish a Ferrari design formula that still influences the brand today- low, wide and unmistakably exotic. The Pininfarina designed body features the iconic pop up headlights, recessed door handles, dramatic side air intakes and classic blacked out accents. Of course, the GTSi features the removable Targa roof, giving you open air driving while retaining that gorgeous 308 profile. This one was born Rosso Corsa red, and the finish presents beautifully with a smooth, glossy shine. The windshield is exceptionally clear, and it retains its original Ferrari alloy wheels. Even the tires are the correct Michelins in the proper size, giving the car an especially authentic appearance.
INTERIOR: It is classic Ferrari- you sit incredibly low, surrounded by an intimate, driver focused cockpit. The original leather seats have firm cushions, no significant wear, although the leather does show aging. Everything remains stock with the exception of an upgraded stereo system. The analog gauges, Nardi steering wheel and iconic gated shifter deliver the nostalgic Ferrari experience enthusiasts love. It also features power windows, and when you want open air driving, the removable Targa top conveniently stores behind the seats. This is an interior that feels special before you even turn the key.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is home to Ferrari's 2.9-liter, high revving DOHC V8 with Bosch fuel injection. It is mounted transversely behind the passenger compartment- a layout that gives the 308 its unmistakable mid engine balance and exotic character. The air conditioning system was recently serviced, the water pump and belt were replaced too. Just behind the engine is the nicely carpeted rear cargo compartment, which also houses a CD changer. It comes well equipped with the original jack in its leather bag, Ferrari tool kit, owner's manuals, and car cover.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The front compartment is clean and properly laid out, housing the radiator with dual electric cooling fans. Also included is a fifth matching original Ferrari wheel wearing its original Michelin tire, a great piece of originality.
UNDERSIDE: It rides on a tubular steel chassis with four wheel independent suspension, using unequal length upper and lower control arms, coil springs, hydraulic shocks, and anti-sway bars both front and rear. This was a sophisticated setup for the era and is a big part of the 308's balanced, responsive handling. Stopping power comes from four wheel ventilated disc brakes. Steering is a direct, unassisted rack-and-pinion system, giving the driver that mechanical road feel these cars are known for. At the rear you can see the transversely mounted drivetrain and 5-speed transaxle, which incorporates a limited slip differential, with power delivered to the rear wheels through CV-jointed axle shafts. The clutch was just replaced and the flywheel was cut.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.
CONCLUSION: Bottom line, the 308 GTSi is everything you want a classic Ferrari to be- exotic, beautiful, engaging and instantly recognizable. It's the car that became a television icon with Magnum, P.I., and more than 40 years later, the design still turns heads everywhere it goes. Vintage Ferraris like this certainly aren't becoming more plentiful, or going down in value!
