Taken Off Market 1983 308 GTB in US (Euro spec)

Ideally rosso corsa exterior (not as picky about interior). The car will be modified and driven, so the car doesn't need to be low mileage / original (although I'm not against it).

It seems an '83 GTB pops up about once a year, so I figure this is bit of a waiting game (especially since one recently sold to @61etype a few months ago). If anyone has one that they're willing to part with, please let me know.

 

Just out of curiosity. What is the difference between a 1983 vs. the 1984/1985?

 

There are some minor differences, but the main reason I am looking for an '83 is because 1983 was a personally significant year (nothing to do with cars).

If push comes to shove and I can't find an '83, I may just give in and get one from any of the QV years. I intend on modifying the engine and would prefer to start with 4 valves (going to mototechnique for the 388 "evo" mod).

 

FYI, moderators: I ended up acquiring a 1983 512 BBi. We can remove the "wanted" tag /status.

 

Congratulations !

 

Thank you! I hope you're still enjoying your 308.

While I didn't originally set out looking for a 512, it was too good of a set of circumstances to pass up. It was imported in July 1983 (the same month I was born), and it was in Miami already (maybe 20 min away), so I was able to inspect it / test drive it multiple times.

 

agreed, those are very good circumstances for buying a vintage Ferrari - hope it treats you well...
