Official 308 GTB/GTS Market Thread

That's a nice factoid, thanks for sharing

 

Yes...and perhaps his 308 is exactly the car of the "change of sides for the Pininfarina badge", as originally, on the first glass cars, the single badge was on the right side of the car, not on the left...

Thank you very much, I didn't know that: I believed that all the vetroresina cars had the Pininfarina badge on the right side.

The date of the change is mid-1976, and passed from the right side (passenger's side on Vetture Guida Sinistra - LHD) to the left (driver's) but I am not able to tell you on which actual car by chassis number.

thanks, Bruno.

The change is at the end of October 1976 or very early November 1976. I have several car with left side badge before Fioravanti's 308, and several right side badge after (especially all RHD cars)...

 

thanks!

ciao

 

I'm not saying in my message above that all RHD cars have the right side badge. It is just the few after Fioravanti's are all RHD, usually RHD change took longer.

 

Pretty cool color combo blue/ blue 308 QV sold on BaT today

http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-ferrari-308-gts-quattrovalvole-2/

Some were saying it was a real steal, it was very nice, but it had metric wheels and no smog equipment, so that to me is an easy $10k. The miles were low, but not that low. I thought it would go for money though with the rare color combo and relative nice shape. Hope haggerty is right about the ten year outlook

 

'78 308 GTS went for $52.5k at Mecum just now

... and an '85 308 GTS QV didnt sell at $68k

 

- Pics look good, but of course in-person inspection shows things that pics don't.
- Interior in particular looks cared for... really, that's all original?
- Targa bag is a nice include
- Engine bay looks not only cared for, but maintained nicely
- 58K Miles, not exactly a "wow" factor there.
- I'm not an owner that cares much about the toolkit, but FWIW - the toolkit isn't complete.

At current market trends, I'd call this a $55-60K car.

 

Market is indeed slow. Loads of cars didn't sell and the one that did, went typically below min estimate

 

Slow and low

Not a good combination

 

Except if you're buying. (And no, I didn't get my timing right.)

 

Glass car sold at RM for 192k all in

 

That is pretty much market now ---- for a Fiberglass wet sump car. There are 3 or 4 more currently on the market for between 150 and 200k. I would imagine a fiberglass dry sump car would bring 25 to 50k more.

 

Quick! Someone chime in with more nonsense on how 308 series cars or not worthy of such sales numbers..

 

If my non-glass car is worth $192K, please point me to the buyer.

 

Seems like the 308 market for the gts is off by 20-30% from last year

 

This car was very much a 'driver'

Bonhams : 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB Chassis no. 22219Engine no. 02593

 

Did anyone inspect this one? I was told not nearly as nice as described?

Seems to be the case across the whole collector car market. Been casually looking for another Porsche 911. Just low tide in the cycle, give it a year or two and prices will be on the rise once again. And as always, condition, Service records, maintenance and mileage verified Cars will be most coveted.
