    Hey all, I'm looking for a fuel injected 308 driver (without sodium filled valves) with some miles on it. I don’t want to feel bad about racking up miles. Hoping for something I can enjoy and improve on my own in my own garage. There is a nice black 308 QV that’s listed here, but I’m looking for a brighter color. Looking for something that won’t need a major service for some time so I can get to know the car a bit first before having to take it apart.

    Preferably in California, but willing to fly out and drive home.

    Luckily I'm very familiar with Jetronic injection from growing up with a Porsche 924 and Rabbits and Sciroccos :)

    Larry, old member here is selling his 308. 2V injected, driver.
    Larry owns CIS flow tech so the fuel injected system is going to be in top shape.
    He mentioned it the other week when I sent in a FD body for rebuild.

    He's out in AL though.

    Unless it has had a modern valve job it has sodium valves.

    There are 2 kinds of used Ferraris. The best out there and the ones that will kill you financially and never be worth what you put in them.
    Thats from over 45 years in the Ferrari business for whatever thats worth.
    The world is full of ex, never again Ferrari owners who bought "a good deal".

    True enough, no idea if he's had that done.

    ^^^ Yeah if it's a 2v I'd want one with a valve job with new valves.

    I fully appreciate that, if you look at my 360 F1->manual swap thread, I clearly got the latter. :D


    I still love it though and being a crazy person it's fun to do all the work yourself. That's why I just want one that's been well taken care of mechanically with some miles on it and maybe a few dents so I don't feel bad actually using it.

    Why would you EVER feel bad about driving it?

    Seriously? Buy the best you can find and stack miles on it out the ass.
