    This Ferrari 308 GTS is located in Phoenix
    History:
    1979 Ferrari 308GTS Carbureted model finished in Giallo over Nero leather. This Giallo 308 was sold new on May 15, 1979 in Los Angeles California and was owned and titled by “The 6 Million Dollar Man” himself, Lee Majors. At the time Lee Majors was married to Farrah Fawcett and owned this 308 until sometime in the mid to late 1980’s when the second Southern CA owner purchased the car. The car was owned by the second owner until 1996/1997 when the third Southern CA owner purchased the car and kept it until a private collector out of Dallas TX purchased it in 2013. The former owner is a FerrariChat member.
    I then purchased this Ferrari in April of 2016.The car is exceptionally well documented all the way back to new and has an enormous file of receipts and records.
    The paint is in great condition though not perfect.The Targa top is in excellent condition with a nice fit free from any shrinkage or damage. The interior is in excellent condition.This 308 has traveled a mere 44.000+ miles from brand new .
    Full major was done in late 2015 including timing belt and tensioners, and A/C compressor and drier.
    Most recent work to prepare it for sale includes all new fluids, alternator rebuild, all systems inspected and if needed, fixed.
    This 308 needs nothing and will impress.
    Im selling to fund another car purchase.
    price: $85,000
    Having trouble uploading photos

    Appears to be a beautiful car. Is the paint original? Any paint work? Rust? Looking forward to interior pics. Never have been a yellow car guy. This just changed. Beautiful.

    I don't know if any paint work, but with all the years I am sure there has been some.
    The paint is very good condition.
    Always been a west coast car, so no rust.

    Thank you
    I'm not sure if my price is too high or the market is just slow.
    I'm not in a hurry but would like to sell it while the car is at its best.

    If anybody wants to see it it can be viewed at FMS in fountain hills near scottsdale Arizona

    If you throw in Farah Fawcett (from the 70's) I'll pay u your asking price :)!!

    What kid didn't have a poster of her back then?

    Seriously though, I'm just wondering if the price includes any kind of 'Lee Majors premium' in it?

    The market seemed so hot when I purchased and so slow when I want to sell.

    Once I receive the car I will

    I got a more than fair price on my trade and decided not to pass up this opportunity.
    I figure the amount for the 308 was more than I could expect for cash in this current market.
    So, why not pull the trigger on the car I really want

    Looking forward to the details.
