Vehicle Description
There's no way around it, so we'll just hit it head-on. If you
drive this car, people are going to shout, "Hey Magnum!" at you.
Never mind that this is one of the most handsome mid-engined
Ferraris ever designed, its iconic stature as a TV prop makes it a
celebrity all by itself. Fortunately, this one has lived an easy
life that wasn't on a studio lot, and drives like a Ferrari should.
And with only 78,633 miles on the clock, it's head-turning ways
have only just begun.
Still wearing its original shade of Rosso Corsa, this Ferrari is
the biggest head turner currently parked in our showroom. With an
angular body that defined '80s supercars, the 308 GTS Quattro was
the Ferrari for the man who didn't want to compromise practicality
for performance. Of course, any vintage Ferrari is a stunning
performer, with thrilling sounds and a character that no other
manufacturer has ever been able to duplicate. The finish is
original, so it shows some signs of use here and there, but a
recent buff and polish has really brought the paint back to life
despite some of the imperfections expected for a vehicle of this
age. All of Bertone's original folds and creases remain intact and
other details like the rubber, grilles, and plastic lenses are
similarly well preserved, and of note, this car still wears all of
its correct badges. So while EVERYONE will recognize you in this
car, the experts will recognize that it's an exceptionally nice 308
GTS Quattrovalvole. All the black rubber bits are decently
preserved originals too, with no signs of major UV damage or fading
like you see on all the Ferraris from Florida. And with a front
bumper delete, the nose looks that much more aggressive and
sleek.
Inside, the gorgeous tan leather interior is exactly what you'd
expect from your Ferrari: Deeply sculpted bucket seats, that iconic
chrome gated shifter that clangs through the gears like a
bolt-action rifle, and that purring V8 just behind your shoulder
blades. It remains in exceptional condition today. The leather is
supple, the dashboard hasn't faded, and the carpets show very
little wear considering that this car has always been enjoyed. The
fat Momo steering wheel connects you to the road in a way that you
probably haven't experienced before, and you'll never get tired of
watching the traditional black and white gauges do their dance as
the engine sings its song. A Fahrenheit Ingenix
AM/FM/CD/DVD/AUX/BT/NAV head unit was neatly installed and provides
all the entertainment you'll ever need (as if that motor isn't
enough), pumping tunes through the Alpine door speakers and 8-inch
subwoofer. Options include power windows and power locks, along
with factory air conditioning, and if open air cruising is your
thing, the targa top pops off with ease and transforms the profile
of this beautiful 'Rari.
Ferrari's lovely 2.9 liter V8 seems diminutive until you fire it
up. The 308 GTS Quattrovalvole is the ultimate version, and if
you're looking at 308s, it really is the only one to consider. With
4-valve heads (hence the Quattrovalvole part), it is a
high-revving, deep-breathing powerplant from the company with more
Formula 1 wins than just about anyone else. Performance is
breathtaking, but more than that, it's the overall balance of the
car, which is agile without feeling skittish, and somehow
comfortable without being soft. And with plenty of maintenance
completed throughout the years, including a very recent $5k belt
job, it's a motor that's ready to dominate for decades to come. It
will carve canyons, yet happily cruise down the highway, and thanks
to the 5-speed's tall top gear, it actually pulls down decent gas
mileage if you can keep your foot out of it. Finishing the look,
traditional 5-spoke Ferrari alloys are in great condition and wear
220/55/390 performance radials all-around.
Documented with its original warranty book, owner's manuals,
maintenance records, and tool kit, this is the best version of
arguably the most iconic Ferrari ever built, and it turns out that
it's an awesome road car, too. Call now!
