Great pic! Killer ride stance. What sizes are your wheels and tires? Spacers? Stock ride height?

 

Thanks Rodney

17x8.5 rear, 17x7.5 front Compomotive's 8.5 mm offset on both, no spacers.

Very nice Alberto. I thought the two tone (black lower paint) was a USA market specification?

Grim

 

no, it was a color option available worldwide

ciao

 

Good looking car Alberto.

I can never understand why more were not ordered with 16 inch wheels. Ignorance I guess. At the time there were good 14 inch tires available too.

 

Thakyou, Brian. The reason was the 16" rims were VERY expensive, at least here in Italy: in 1979 the 16" option costed 2M Lira, it means 6,5% of the car tag price. It's like 20 k USD today, more or less.

Ciao

 

Wow. That was an expensive option.

Spent last Thursday afternoon at a classic car show and shine. It was mostly classic American cars but after a few hours, an F430 showed up and parked next to me. Got a lot of comments from folks saying that they would take the older Ferrari

Perhaps it is my aging eyes. I think the 308 design has aged better than the later cars parked ahead of her.

 

I would agree. Style goes in and out and even back in over time if it was interesting in the first place. You can't make a boring design interesting no matter how far you move in the future. It might be nostalgic, but its still boring.
