pretend to be Magnum P.I? Interested in making your own "Cannonball
Run?" or maybe you want to be Corey Haim and out run the demonic
school bus from "License to Drive?" MotoeXotica has the car for you
in this legally imported Euro spec 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS
Quattrovalvole. Made in April 1984 at the Maranello, Italy factory,
this example is an original left-hand drive European-specification
model that was imported to and federalized for use in the United
States on December 22nd 1987 by the EPA and DOT (paperwork
included). Quattrovalvole is Italian for "four valves," the number
of valves on each engine cylinder. The car's previous owner loved
and cared for this example for the past 13 years and it really
shows today! The last major service and belts were completed in
October of 2013 and previous service records go back to 1990 with
no large service gaps. Dressed in sharp red (rosso) paint, the
car's finish is in overall very good condition though there are
some minor stone chips on the hood, nose and front air dam. The
windows are clear and intact, as are the vehicles lights. This
prancing horse rolls on Dunlop radials, sized 205/55ZR16 in front
and 225/50ZR16 in back. The tires surround silver factory five-star
wheels with yellow center caps. All of the body panels are this car
are straight and solid and it's a targa model, so the black roof
panel is removable for cruising on sunny days. Under the rear hood
is Ferrari's 2.9L Tipo F105AB V-8 engine with the aforementioned
four-valve heads and breathing through quad exhausts. The engine
also features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and Marelli Digiplex
electronic ignition. The engine is linked to a five-speed manual
transmission and a limited-slip differential. The previous owner
had the timing belt serviced in October 2013 and paper receipts are
provided from the previous owner. Driver convenience features
included tinted glass, a heated backlight and power windows.
Inside, the original tan interior is in overall very good order.
The leather bucket seats look great, as does the matching carpet.
The instrument panel comes with a full set of gauges plus two more,
engine temperature and a clock, in the center console. The
speedometer has been calibrated in miles but the odometer is set to
kilometers, not miles. A satin black, three-spoke steering wheel
with the prancing horse hub faces the driver with the classic,
gated shifter down and to the right. The inner door panels, mirror
glass, center console and gear shift all look great and rounding
out the inside is a Pioneer AM/FM stereo with cassette deck. You
probably won't use the stereo much, considering the songs this
engine can sing and who could blame you for leaving the stereo
alone? The 308's body was designed by�Pininfarina's�Leonardo
Fioravanti, who had been responsible for some of Ferrari's most
celebrated shapes to date such as the�Daytona, the Dino and
the�Berlinetta Boxer. The 308 used elements of these shapes to
create something very much in contrast with the angular GT4. GTS
models featured a removable roof panel with grained satin black
finish, which could be stowed in a vinyl cover behind the seats
when not in use. The main change from the 308 GTBi/GTSi it
succeeded was the�four valves�per cylinder�hence its
name,�quattrovalvole, literally "four valves" in Italian. The new
model could be recognized by the addition of a slim louvered panel
in the front lid to aid radiator exhaust air exit, power operated
mirrors carrying a small enamel Ferrari badge, a redesigned
radiator grille with rectangular driving lights on each side, and
rectangular (in place of round) side repeaters. The interior also
received some minor updates, such as a satin black three-spoke
steering wheel with triangular center; cloth seat centers became
available as an option to the standard full leather. Available
options included metallic paint, a deep front spoiler, air
conditioning, wider wheels, 16-inch�Speedline�wheels
with�Pirelli�P7 tires and a satin black roof aerofoil. Apart from
the 32-valve cylinder heads, the engine was essentially of the same
design as that used in the 308 GTSi model. The gear and final drive
ratios were altered to suit the revised characteristics of the four
valves per cylinder engine. Documentation includes Ferrari folder,
stack of service records dating back to 1990, copies of the
federalization papers, service facilities book, owners manual,
tools and additional spare parts. This car is currently located at
our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 18,818 kilometers (11,963 miles) and believed not to
be actual. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear,
mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR
