    It is with a heavy heart that I offer my 308 for sale, but I'm ready to move on to other adventures.

    I have owned the car for about 12 years and it currently has 66,550 miles. I'm still driving it a little, so that will creep up. It is a nice, well loved, unrestored example, meaning it shows some patina, wear, dings and scratches. Still, it presents very well and runs great.

    Starts easily the first time, runs very well at any altitude, and shifts smoothly through all gears, even when cold. Everything works as well as it always did (meaning the windows are still slow, dash lights are still dim). There are leather Corbou seats in it now, but the originals will go with the car too (drivers side has a tear). The car had Gotti wheels when I bought it, but I broke one on a curb (no other damage) so I replaced them with the Ronal LZs. Tires are near new.

    The engine was completely rebuilt in 2004 at 57000 miles. It has the Birdman fuse blocks, short ratio steering rack, and carbon intake tube. Clutch was replaced somewhere around 2003 at 55,000 miles. It is due for belts and bearings, but there are no other issues that need to be fixed before enjoying the ride.

    The car will come with a car cover and the original tool kit, jack, owners manual and pouch, targa cover, floor mats, and various parts. In the photos, the exhaust cover is off the car, but it's here.

    I think that's it. Price is $48,000. Clear Colorado title in hand. Please PM me with questions. I'll answer honestly; I want this to be a good experience for me and the new buyer!

    What kind of seats are those? They look different, are the aftermarket?

    Felt compelled to say the car is a great example. Best of luck with your sale. The offering price is very fair.

    A little bump before I get the car bedded down for winter. Just had the radiator re-cored and put on a few more gorgeous miles in the Colorado Rockies to see the colors change!
    I also dug out the original seats to get a photo of them for the record.

    If I don't sell it before the snow flies, I'll bring it back up in the spring.

    Hey Matt, GLWS. Remember that drive we did about five years ago? I hope all is well with you and your family.

    Hey Furman! Yup, I do remember that. I had more fun with the Ferrarichat folks than I ever did with the FCA, but that's probably just 'cause I live so far from Denver. Man, I need to get out more often!

    To answer the above questions: yes, I specified new valves and springs and had Ferrari of Denver confirm before they installed the engine. In response to a couple other queries I've had: I'd really prefer to keep the car with all the things that are supposed to be with it. So, I won't sell the tools, manual, etc. separately. Thanks for the interest, tho!

    It's still for sale.
    I thought we were going to have more snow here than we did! I think I'll go for a little drive this weekend, 'cause once the snow starts fallin, it's hibernation time!

    Matt good luck with the sale of your car! I remember ridding it some time ago with some other FChatters. Maybe in the future you'll pick up another Ferrari.

    Hey, Mark! Nice to hear from you!
    I seem to be playing more on two wheels than four these days, so just haven't been using the car a whole lot. My daughter drove it a bit last summer and wants to put it in car shows this summer, so if it doesn't sell, that's fine too. I told her if she wants to show it, she's got to clean it! :)
    Next time you're up my way, give me a shout.
