I think Pininfarina did a great job on the 355, but I wouldn't call the steering wheel a highlight (and doubt it was their design). At the time, airbags were very new tech, and I remember all cars getting bulky plastic steering wheels in the '90s. I had a VW in the early '90s with a steering wheel that looked like someone had strapped a pillow to it and covered it black vinyl. Also, if I had a 355, I might update it just for safety reasons to a more modern "smart" airbag. I think they're all due for replacement anyway due to age. The Momo steering wheels on the 308/328 are just about my favorites of all time. I sold my 328 back in 2009 but I can still feel the wheel. (And just bought a QV.)
200k+ would get my attention but not guarantee anything. This also makes no sense to the buyer since he could buy a GTS for 35-50k and put 100k resto on it to achieve something similar, for less money. My GTS is born the same month and year as me. That is hard to replace.
Hmmmm. I would definitely sell my car for the right price. I'm thinking $160,000+ But the purchaser would get a 3.5L 300+ horse power naturally aspirated torque monster (well for a 308 anyway). There aren't many of these around.
85 black/red 308 GTB QV---$500,000 88.5 green/brown 328 GTB---$750,000 I just love rare color combination Ferraris, so these cars are my dream cars and are probably irreplaceable. Therefore, it would have to be a "life changing" amount of money that I would have to be a fool to pass up. Thus, the prices above.
Yah I think I agree also - on the 512BB. I was struggling to think what I would replace the 308 with on the classic side...although my wife would be bummed to gain a roof ; ) On the modern side, I think it would be cool to have a used FF here in Pittsburgh for the winter, and that could take a huge chunk out of it if I sold the 308 at some big numbr. Still, not really practical here without a local dealer and I am certain I would regret selling the 308 forever.
I think anything north of $100K would need to be considered. 83 Euro GTB. Life is too short and there are just too many cars to drive.
Same for me: $200K+ for my 85 308 QV, Hagarty 1 condition, with 18K miles Red/Black with red piping That would allow me to buy another car on my bucket list: 2001 LAMBORGHINI DIABLO VT 6.0 Here is a picture from earlier this week Image Unavailable, Please Login
Man, some of you guys have the "emotional attachment" price 1986 Red/tan...new full service/belts...AC even blows cold...60K but Great condition, never in the rain...looks new. All Records. Give me a Check for 50,000 and its yours......just got a 430 spider 3 pedal that needs some love now
A man after my own heart! I don 't get the emotional part of car ownership. I DO get the "I WANT" part but after that itch is scratched… As Spock once said when he gave up his Red/Tan Ferrari to another Vulcan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wtYGZt7aI4
77 GTB, 30k miles, needs paint (existing is 7/10) and suspension rebuilt. New seat covers will be installed next month. I'm not sure what I could replace it with but...$50k
Hey, I've got some Mondials and am currently looking for a 3/2x8. This should be an investment for my wife (yeah, she's convinced ;-) and I'm analysing which model to purchase. When I have a look at the production numbers, the Turbo versions have been produced from 86-89 in 308 (GTB) and 828 (GTS) units. So logically, that would make the 86-89 turbo versions the rarest... But that's not translated into the current prices. Apart from the smaller engine, what else makes that these cars are much lower in price compared to 'traditional' 328's?
See any of Albert-lp's threads including this updated just yesterday http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/308-328/457063-turbo-intercooler-prices.html
Rarity does not in itself translate to desirability and hence high price. There are many other factors involved....

I own an Euro 308 GTB dry sump, carbed. I don't understand this: the vetroresina (exactly like my car but with some fiberglass panels instead of steel) costs twice my car. I think the Vetro is not so rare nor so much nice to have such a price, it's just as it's the first 3x8 ever. So why the turbo and turbo intercooler, that differ a lot from the NA engines, that are the first Ferrari turbocharged engine ever, should cost less than a QV or a 328? they also are rarer and (my opinion) better looking. The first 208 turbo not intercooled hasn't a great engine, but (i think) it's the best looking 2/3x8 ever (and the first turbocharged, the 288 GTO came out one year later...) and the "328" turbo has a fantastic, powerful and reliable engine. That's not promomotion, it's just information: you don't know those turbo models, as they were built for italian market only (and just LHD). The only problem they have is that at 50-60 k miles (just to give an idea, it can happen before or later or never, who knows) the not intercooled one requires an head service (valve seats, valves and so on) as the OEM are not Nymonic or high temperature specific valves and valve seats. The turbo intercooler has high temperature seats and Nymonic valves: no problem. Pay attention as most are destroyed as they were very cheap as used until some years ago so they were often owned by someone that did not care them and/or did not mantained very well them as he could not pay the money required for a good service. Excellent turbo cars are rare: usually they have many miles and many problems due to lacking of maintenance, proper storage and "young boy" type savage use. If you want beauty: 208 turbo If you want power: "328" turbo ciao
