Taken Off Market 1985 308 GTSi PRUGNA/Beige

Ask $85k OBO- please No lowballing as you know the value of a sorted out 308. Car is located in San Diego, CA. mileage may marginally increase as I drive and enjoy her.

1985 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole is finished in Prugna over tan leather upholstery, and it is powered by a fuel-injected 2.9-liter V8 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. NO sticky second gear - smooth shifting. Stock for the most part - original for all parts upgrades or reliability mods. Seats were refreshed two owners ago - assuming 4 owners but no direct provenance to confirm. Normal wear and tear with stone chips in the original PRUGNA paint with some touch up.
There are reportedly 12 or 16 PRUGNA cars in the US according to the QV register and other sources. Car Manual, Jack, emergency light, seat covers and old expansion tank are included with the car. Top is in great shape and seals/closes well. Window motors are original.
Bridgman Fusebox upgraded by previous owner.

I drove from Phoenix 6 weeks ago to look at this car.

 

and?

 

I have over looked a price, somewhere??

A friend in Houston loves Prugna, but he wants a great deal.
Nice example GLWS!!

PeterS you so coy........you'd make a great stripper....

 

First line - "Ask $85k OBO"

BigTex - I'm looking for a great deal too!!!!

 

I love that it's not red! I have a white 328, and i really enjoy it. Love the other colors! This sure looks pretty!

 

Your car looks great, GLWS!

 

LOL isn’t everyone looking for a great deal. the issue with vintage cars is that unless they are sorted out - the great deal can turn into a money pit and there goes the deal.

 

very very very true!

 

Nice updated details in the engine bay: Plenum, covers and plug wires. Little touches make a day and night difference IMO. Air box is dying for a stencil tho and one vale stem cap Nice car! Interior looks great.

 

AND!

 

Sorry, no comment.

 

Thanks.
I’m looking for a stencil, there was one on eBay then - not. I just got another set of 4 stem covers so will be replacing it this weekend. Am going to lock them down with the screw lock to keep them from vibrating off.

 

What did you see or find?

 

If you read between the lines, you will answer your own question.
