    Thread here;http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/308-328-sponsored-yellow-compass-group/505285-car-going-into-paint-shop.html

    When I tried to sell the car last summer all the contacts I had liked the car, but were concerned about the paint/rust so I had that addressed last winter.

    NOTES:

    Oil and Filter get changed ~1x per year. Valvoline Synthetic 50w20. Filter Baldwin B234
    Air Filter has been replaced twice since I bought the car (only 8,500 miles)
    I have a partially complete tool kit and all the original owner’s manuals/papers and 2-sets of new keys.

    Mechanically the car is in good condition and pulls strong to 7,700. Still has the thermo muffler but the car sounds good at speed and you can hear the carbs sucking air when you get above 5000rpm.

    I have all the original parts off the car including the points, AC Compressor & Clutch, AC Condenser coil, fans, air pumps, center console vinyl, fuse blocks, etc. It’s all been stored inside since removed.

    Compression on all Cylinders is 145-160

    Asking $95,000

    Looks like a great car. The early Bs are especially raw and great to drive. Someone will be lucky to take this one over.

    If you are willing to wait a bit, seems like this is underpriced for a beautiful and very well sorted car. GLWS!

    I dealt with Sean last year and wanted to say he's an incredibly straight-shooter. If I was in the market for a 308 this would be the one I'd get. Buy with confidence.

    Well thanks for the endorsement. Yes, I'm probably to critical of the car as I don't someone to buy it and then get the car and say to themselves "that so and so Sean is a lying ba$a%d!!!".
