GTS WOW! Have a look at this iconic Ferrari 308 GTS! Description
Only 16,827 miles Huge service performed January 2016 Beautifully
straight and tight panels Last of the carburetor models Great
Ferrari sound! A look at this iconic Ferrari and you might think of
Magnum P.I ., the smash hit TV show from the 1980's. That's because
during the first season, a 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS was used just like
this beauty! This car however has one feature that makes it a very
rare find. Read on! From 1975-1980, there were only 3,219 GTS
models produced. The GTS used a wet sump, 4 carburetor, naturally
aspirated V8 engineone of the last to use carburetors. With a
compression ratio of 8.8:1 and 195 ft-lb of torque, this red rocket
reached 150+ miles per hour easily. Zero to 100 mph in 15 seconds.
In addition, this car had extensive maintenance performed in
January 2016 (please see list below). The exterior of this car
shows very straight and tight fitting steel body panels. The doors
close with a solid sound and fit. All the glass and mirrors are in
very good condition and the headlights swing open as if brand new.
Even the valance looks well taken care of. The interior of this
icon is a beautiful surviving gem. The vintage red leather seats
feel very supple and are accented with black leather striping,
making this a very rare color interior. Most of the 308's you see
are beige or black. The same red leather is continued on the door
panels while matching red carpet rests on the floor. The leather
wrapped steering wheel shows very little use. All the knobs, levers
and switches work, are in place, and look fantastic! This car would
make Tom Selleck smile! It does for us and we're sure it will for
you too! Plus, with only 16,827 believed miles, it isn't even
broken in yet! Parts replaced as of January 2016: Clutch and

bearings At the Motor Car Group, we're enthusiasts first. We want
you to enjoy your new car from the minute it's delivered and the
trailer door drops. Before a car leaves our shop, it's gone through
comprehensively, both visually and mechanically. We do more than
just kick the tires, though: We fill your tires with nitrogen, road
test (if the weather permits us here in Cleveland!) and clean it
inside and out. We buff the paint using a three-step process
immediately before it's taken away so that it gleams when it
arrives. Every car we sell, from Sunday drivers through the rarest
exotics, is meant to be driven--get out there! If you have any
questions before, during or after the sale, do not hesitate to
contact us. It's what we're here for! Call us at (440) 914-0000,
write us at
[email protected] or stop by and see the new shop
at 6441 Davis Industrial Parkway, Solon OH 44139. We're 26 miles
from Cleveland Hopkins Airport and we can pick you up when you come
to inspect or purchase your car. We welcome any prospective buyers,
their buyer's agents or inspectors from Monday through Friday
during business hours, as well as evenings and weekends by
appointment. We're car people who love what we do, and you'll feel
it from the first time you contact us. Give the R&H crew the
opportunity to serve you: Our passion and attention to detail set
us apart! Call 440-914-0000 or email
