    The left rear wheel is not just having weird camber but also seems to be much narrower than the right rear with inconsistent tyre tread. Wheel cap is also missing, someone tried to stuck a front/spare/other wheel cuz the original shattered after fell off a 2 story building?

    rain guard is normally over the coils but this one seems to have one over the strangely bent expansion tank. Maybe it's just the camera angle. The seller's 365GT 2+2 1969 Ferrari 365GT 2+2 - looks a little more honest in its presentation :D

    A younger crowd on a street forum might comment: that car is so insanely "stanced!"

    I just read the ad you posted the link to, and it says red with tan interior? Typo? Or did they post the wrong pics? Maybe those are the pre flip photos :). Fell off the flatbed, and they fixed it up, now it's 60k! Makes you wonder...

    In reality, I think it hit a speed bump or pothole at speed and ripped apart the suspension.

    I own the red-on-red '85 QV (59099) that MNExotics referred to above. I spoke with the original owner - the configuration is all-original. He did not special order it - simply picked it out at the dealership in Michigan (The Sports Car Exchange).

    Yikes! Rear suspension link is dragging on the ground. Missing diaper. Wheels all out of whack. I can just imagine what it looks like close up.
    I think for s@*ts and giggles I will go take a closer look at it. Ready Billy? It's got it's OEM mats!

    The first Ferrari I drove, and almost bought, looked exactly like yours. That was in Pensacola during the early 90s.

    The text of the ad refers to the car as "nice". I do not think it means what they think it means... Nice for cars means you can drive it away. This car is anything but nice - more like trailer me home and dump a bunch more money to make it safe to drive....

    I know of a 79 carb 308 GTS red on red with a red dash no less. Rare, but ugly. Found it while hunting for a 3x8 to buy.

    Red on all red is a love it or hate it combo. Still, I think the worst combo I've seen on a 308 was yellow on red. It looked like a special order by Ronald McDonald.

    I contacted them to find out what the deal was on this car but did not get a response.
