*1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi*Ferrari has long been known as a company
that builds successful race cars and stunning, fast road vehicles.
But it wasn't until the 308's debut and prime placement in numerous
high-profile TV shows in the 1980s, that the brand became a
household name. Penned by famed Italian styling house Pininfarina,
the 308 was the brand's first 2-seater with a mid-mounted V8, a
layout that became the brand's most popular for decades to come.
This 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi is finished in the quintessential
Ferrari color combination of Rosso Corsa over a beige leather
interior and shows just 40,738 miles at the time of cataloging.The
308 was offered in two body styles - the GTB which was a closed
coupe, or the GTS with a removable targa top. The latter GTS was by
far the more popular choice as the pop out roof panel allowed you
to enjoy the sound of the sonorous V8 behind you, and was simple to
take out and store behind the seats. Since new the car has been
kept in remarkably original condition, sitting on classic 16-inch
5-spoke wheels and with the classically 1980s pop-up headlights at
the front. This Ferrari was delivered new at the Sports Car
Exchange in Dearborn, MI and was acquired by the consignor in 2012
who purchased it from his brother-in-law. Many of these 308s have
passed through a considerable number of owners over the years, with
paperwork and documentation getting lost along the way. But this
car is an exception, offered with irreplaceable items like the
original window sticker, original purchase agreement, books
including a stamped service booklet, and a large 3-ring binder with
additional service invoices from throughout the car's history.The
interior is finished in beige leather with matching beige carpeting
and a black leather wrapped dashboard. The black Nardi steering
wheel has a leather wrapped rim and frames a 180 mph speedometer
and tachometer with a 7,700 rpm redline. In the center console sits
a water temp gauge, HVAC controls and the shifter for the often
discussed gated 5-speed manual with a dogleg first gear. The
overall interior condition is remarkable for a car of this age with
the leather showing negligible wear and the steering wheel looking
almost new.Powering the 308 is a 2.9-liter DOHC V8 mounted
transversely behind the passenger compartment. The "i" in 308 GTSi
means that this is one of the first generation of fuel injected
308s, utilizing a Bosch K-Jetronic system like many cars of the
era. This engine was rated from the factory as producing 205
horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque which is plenty to make the car
feel lively behind the wheel. Prior to being offered for sale, this
car received a timing belt service at local exotic specialists
Veloce Motorsports in Kirkland, WA to ensure this car is ready to
be enjoyed. Power is sent through a 5-speed manual transaxle to a
limited slip differential at the rear wheels. This car still feels
quick today and when driving on a winding back road, the driver
engagement it offers is pretty much unmatched by any car you could
go to a dealership and buy new.If you have been looking for your
entry into vintage Ferrari ownership, or have always wanted to live
out your Magnum PI fantasies, this 308 checks all the boxes. With
careful ownership from new and a recent mechanical freshening
including the timing belt, this car is ready to be enjoyed and
cherished by its new caretaker and will become the centerpiece in
nearly any garage.*Key Features* * 2.9-liter V8 * 205
