Nice.

 

Class act.

 

What they said.

And a hat tip to the OP.

 

I've said it many times before, the Ferrari world is very small. Ever more so with the advent of the internet.

 

Here's the white 308 GTB VIN 58767 for sale for $84,995:

1985 Used Ferrari 308 GTB QV at Ideal Motorcars Serving Allentown, PA, IID 13039316

 

Very odd. The frame vin really looks like 58767 but the ad and the plate vin shows 58787.

 

seems to be the same white/red 308 discussed in the other thread (Michael Sheehan buying 308), advertised in Lux for 130.000 EUR...

???

Cheers,
F

 

I have 58787 (via Urban's book) as an Argento/Tan 308 GTS.

 

And 58767 is identified in Matthias Urban's DataBase as a 1985 Bianco/Bordeaux GTS QV with red Dash, a 328 engine and the deep spoiler; so 58767 it seems to be.

And yes, it is very probably the car advertised in Luxembourg for 130.000 euros discussed in the other thread.

None of this should be a real surprise to any of us.

Used 3X8's have had the same 30-something thousand miles on them since their first used sale

 

Did you mean GTB?

 

Yes, sorry: GTB. Going too fast, like I do very often...

Now changed from Luxemburg to Belgium, lowered price. Poor car, I hope it ends up in a nice home soon, to be enjoyed instead of passed on between dealers :|

 

Sorry, still Luxemburg, just new price. I just opened my eyes, too tired...

 

It is in Allentown Pennsylvania at Ideal motorcars

 

Gotta love FChat.

I saw that this car was used in Jerry Seinfeld's show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" and noticed it was supplied by Ideal Motorcars in the credits.

I almost put a deposit down!

 

FChat is awesome for things exactly like this.
