    My ‘95 usa model has black brake ducts yet doesn’t seem to be a common theme of which units got black versus orange tubing. Small details that peak my interest.

    Perhaps, but not remotely as rough as the yellow 355 Spider. Still only had 27k mi and a clean Carfax. Hammered for almost the same price ($50k). That’s pretty bad for a car Johnk calls “the best looking Ferrari ever made” :).

    I’m indifferent to the result. Just ribbing Johnk as I think it’s funny because it brings in to question his conviction on what looks good and what doesn’t :).

    I for one believe Ferraris are bought on looks, especially older/classic ones. They could run like a turd on wheels, but that hardly matters as that’s part of experiencing a classic.

    There is a reason why the 288, F40, 458, 488, F8 and SF90 follow the basic 308 styling concept, which was an improvement over the Dino. Not my fault if you can't see it. :)

    They were originally developed for the rally circuit. :p
    Most people lowered them it seems they looks great lowered. 328 too.

    Well, you had a progression: Dino, 308, 328. Then Ferrari broke that progression with the 348 which was designed to capture the Testarossa concept. The 348 was updated to the 355 with better styling ans more HP. The 360 and 430 broke way for that mold for 2 years. Then, IMO, the 458 resumed the character of the earlier cars. First time I saw the 458 my though was just that, "looks like a grown up 308". Feel free to disagree. 488 and F8 further advance that concept. SF90 overdoes it.

    Ride height has nothing to do with it. But the 308 has very compliant suspension from the factory. I've bottomed mine out a couple of times. ;)


    Nice 95 spider on BAT. Currently at $99k. I'm thinking $150k hammer.

    By that logic, wouldn’t the source of inspiration begin with the Dino, not the 308?

    I won't argue that. That's why I listed the Dino. Just personally not fan of the Dino frog eyes.

    Of course, a Dino is a Dino, not a Ferrari. And a V6 to boot. ;)

    So what? I don't see a contradiction. I understand the position of the Dino. Doesn't mean I have to like the car.

    So John, if you bottomed out your 308 are you admitting you had it over 6,000 RPM? Inquiring minds want to know. :eek:

    Obviously I disagree. Comps are quite a bit higher, even given the current downturn.

    We were close to reserve and I'm in contact with the high bidder. Hopefully we can work something out.
