HISTORY:
"The Ferraristi who remained unconvinced that the Bertone-designed
308 GT4 2+2 was a true successor to the gorgeous Dino 246 had their
prayers answered when the Ferrari 308 GTB was unveiled at the Paris
Show in 1975. Ferrari returned to Pininfarina for the 308 GTB's
styling, and this two-seat, mid-engine coupe sat on a chassis with
a wheelbase that was eight inches shorter than the GT4 upon which
it was based.�
Production started with the GTB Berlinetta in 1976, with the 308
GTS Targa variant being introduced in 1977. The first 712 308s
Ferrari built wore fiberglass bodies before the company switched to
steel. In all, just over 12,000 308s were produced from 1976 to
1985.
These 3-liter, V-8 powered 1980s icons represent an excellent way
to enter into Ferrari ownership due to their relative affordability
and ease of ownership, and can be divided into three different
series. The 308 was carbureted from 1976 to 1979, with 1976 and
1977 models being especially desirable due to their more aggressive
cams and lack of emissions equipment. The 308 GTBi and GTSi
variants from 1980 to 1982 saw Bosch fuel injection replace the
previous generations' Weber carburetors, and finally in 1983 the
308GTB and 308 GTS Quattrovalvole (QV) introduced four-valve
heads.
The early carbureted cars and the later QV cars are strongest in
the market place with the 1980 to 1982 GTBi and GTSi two-valve,
fuel-injected cars commanding less due to their lower performance.
Some of the 1980 models were also plagued by an oil consumption
issue following the switch from carburetion to fuel injection.
Ferrari 308s can be great - fun to own and drive - �provided you
follow a preventative schedule of maintenance that includes the
timing belts every three to five years. It's also wise to avoid
cars with rust, as this can be costly to fix. Body shell
galvanizing was introduced in 1984, but even these cars can still
rust, so vigilance is advised. It is also worth noting that most of
the 1980 to 1982 GTBi and GTSi cars, as well as some QVs have
metric wheels that narrow your tire choice to the costly and dated
Michelin TRX. Today many owners choose to buy a set of the 16-inch
wheels that came on the later QV cars in order to broaden their
tire choices as well as improve cornering."- Hagerty
