*** Selling to the highest bidder on www.bringatrailer.com; auction ending July 19th***
Up for sale is this beautiful and rare 1983 Ferrari 308 GTB
Quattrovalvole, finished in stunning Bianco (white) exterior and
Negro (black) leather interior. Penned by Pininfarina's Leonardo
Fioravant it is recognized as one of the purest mid-engine Ferrari
designs.
This two owner GT Berlinetta was purchased new in Dallas and owned
for 31 years until the current owner purchased it in 2014. It has
been driven sparingly by the second owner, now showing just over
30,000 miles and has recently received extensive service and
refresh by a Ferrari specialist in preparation for sale.
This Ferrari runs and drives perfectly. It starts up without
hesitation, shifts smoothly through the gated five speed
transmission; the Quattrovalvole (4-valve per cylinder) 3.0 liter
Twin Cam V8 engine pulls strong and makes glorious sounds doing it.
The four wheel disk brakes are confidence inspiring and the race
car inspired mid-engine chassis and suspension design makes this
one of the best handling cars of its day.
The Ferrari 308 series sports cars, with their transverse mounted
engines are free of interference from electronics sensors and
overrides. These are the last of the analog Ferraris; driver's cars
that are considered among the most reliable and easiest to work on
that the company has ever offered, before or since. The 308 based
cars are the Ferraris that were most likely to have been driven
daily, with many examples still on the road today with over 50,000
miles and they are perhaps the only models you will find regularly
with miles in excess of 100,000; a testament to their
durability.
The original unrestored interior is pure Italian; its comfortable,
rich with luxury and creature comforts and endowed with quality
materials throughout, but in hand and under foot it's all business.
This car stands out for its unusual color, GTB hardtop
configuration and ultra-rare black interior. It is in excellent,
overall condition and includes its original tool rolls, manuals and
receipts for the most recent and extensive refresh. As an
extraordinarily optioned car this 308 GTB includes the coveted
matched luggage set.
This 1983 Ferrari 308 GTB is located in Plano, Texas. Housed at the
Garages of Texas at Willow Bend, it is available for inspection by
appointment. Your PPI is encouraged and will be accommodated.
Offered as is, where is. Clean Texas Title and Autocheck Report. No
trades or sales assistance please.
