GT4's on EBay

Wish the nasty GT4s on Ebay would go away.

 

Why? Whats your thought

 

Sad to see such a great car look so bad.

 

lets group buy all the gt4s and hide them away! catalogue and reference them

 

in a boom market even the ugly ones sell fast. "Dino" notwithstanding, boom in GT4 cars got left behind in the rush and now at least one dealer is stuck with a bunch of project cars that are going to take a long time to sell ..

 

I miss when the driver 308 whatevers were all under $20k. I bought a series one gt4 with a hot rebuilt motor and trans for $13k on here several years ago. These cars are not worth the current prices. Too many other things I would prefer to have. Glad I had all the cars I did, before they went into stupid prices mode.
Have fun, ya all shoulda bought them 10 years ago. I never paid much more than $20k-25k for the: 208gt4, 308gt4, 308gtb, 308gts, 308GTS QV, nor the two 328's ! ). At least a new breed of folks appreciate the cars now. Cheers.

 

why aren't they worth the current price ? cause you say so?

 

As a usable "classic", I think the GT4 is a terrific car and represents good value. It has good performance, good ride quality, fantastic handling and enough luggage space for a decent holiday away. Contrary to the common held view that Ferraris are fragile, I've found the Dino to be a tough, reliable car.
We took our Dino to France last year for a week and we're going to Spain in it later this year for 2 weeks.
We took our Cobra to Itally in 2015, which has no roof or side screens, so we're looking forward to the relative luxury of the Dino. Of all the cars I've ever owned, including current Range Rovers and F-Type Jaguar, the Dino is the only car my wife has ever felt relaxed enough in to fall asleep.

That's cool. Enjoy

 

Where in Spain are you headed?

 

We're taking the ferry to Santander and then spending 4 nights in the Los Picos National Park. We're then driving to Pamplona for 2 nights and from there to a hotel high up in the Pyrenees for 3 nights.
From there, we're driving back through France via Bordeaux, La Rochelle and Le Mans.

We did a similar trip to Tuscany in 2015, which was terrific.

Sounds like a fantastic trip! Look forward to your report on how the Dino performs!

 

I remember my first trip Santander to Barca in our Dino, got off the Ferry, I, as many would, respect the cars' suspension and height over speed bumps, there were many. I was obviously pi**ing off the local Spanish occupants in the car behind as they pulled alongside, they, there were three, starting verbally abusing my wife, didn't notice the car I was driving was RHD, STUPID people!! I decided to pull over in front them, got out of the car and confronted them. I have a little chat with them (he, he, he)! to the applause of about 20-30 people. The inside of their car smelt a little after this cosy little chat.
Moral of this story........don't come between me and my Dino, oh, and the wife.

Sorry you can't make Barca.
