What's a modded 308 QV worth?

I find myself with more cars than garages, so I started thinking about selling my heavily modded ’83 308QV GTS. This car has spent most of its life racing, first on long distance road races than more recently, doing track days with the Ferrari club.

Mods include Electromotive TEC3 with EFI and crank fire ignition, oversized intake manifold with a 90mm TB, front mounted oil coolers. An Accusump oil system in the trunk and fire suppression throughout. Oversized Coleman Mark IV rotors and calipers with a dual master Tilton adjustable brake system. Completely rebuilt suspension with urethane bushings. 16” wheels - 8” front, 10” rears with lug nuts, not lug bolts. The engine and trans were completely rebuilt 2K miles ago. All rubber hoses, water and fuel, have been replaced. Car has light weight bumpers front and rear, deep front spoiler, and adjustable SuperTrapp mufflers. Car was completely repainted in 2007 and 4 years ago, I “retired” the car from track duty and installed a “stock” interior including new carpets and redyed seats, console, etc.

She runs great and I would have no qualms driving it across country.

So my question to you all is what do you think it’s worth? And yes, I know it’s worth what someone is willing to pay, but some honest opinions would be welcome.

Thanks,
Paul

Do you have any of the original parts that were removed? Ignition,TB,console,etc. Any body or structure modified?

 

If it was a Gtb I will be all over it

 

Are those seats out of a 328?

 

Looks like 328 seats. Nice ride I've never seen it around the area.

 

Can't offer any useful assessment of $$ worth, but it sure looks dang good.

 

No original parts. Rear fenders have been slightly flared for larger tires.

 

yes.

 

Thanks Wayne.

Your estimates are more than I was expecting. All in all, the car has had over $150K spent on modifications over its lifetime. I listed only the major mods - there are more including a set of mounted slicks, 6 point harnesses, special sump baffle, Birdman fuse box, new street tires. The list goes on and on. I also should have noted that the engine was rebuilt to stock. It was my intension to either turbocharge or supercharge the engine. I have all the parts to supercharge, and most of the parts to either a single or dual turbocharge. Any of those options would add another 100 hp.

Ideally, the car would best suit someone who wants a relatively inexpensive Ferrari track car that they can also drive on the street. For track use, I would reinstall racing seats and a roll bar with 6 point harnesses. (I never go on the track without a HANS device.)

 

If the engine wasn't rebuilt with forged pistons, don't even think about turbo or supercharging it unless your are willing to rebuild it again. Good luck.

 

Excellent assessment from Wayne.
I am in the 3 group, but not the 308 model, like the color a lot.

Fantastic colors, but I would fall into El Wayne's "#1" category - big project to put stock, so I'd be well under $50K if I were contemplating an offer.

But, blu sera GTS is the IMHO the most desirable color/configuration of the 308/328 run.

 

I would be a #3, but the car is in the wrong country, the steering wheel's on the wrong side. BTW, those wide wheels look great - what are they?

 

I am in GA. Interested. I will send you a PM. I have cash.

 

I guess I would fall in with the #1 buyers. That said I would still price your car in the high $30s . Beautiful car so don't sell your self short.

 

16" HRE - 8" fronts and 10" rears

 

If you sell it for high 30s, some dealership is going to spend $1k detailing it, then ask $55k for it. That Blu Sera color has the potential to start a bidding war if the car is clean (not necessarily correct) enough.

 

IMO what mods do market-wise is not necessarily related to the price. It's more related to the buyer pool. It's the same thing as trying to sell a green 3x8 vs a red one. The issue is simply that there will probably be 20 buyers interested in a red car compared to one interested in a green car. THat doesn't mean that the green car will sell for less. Heck, to a collector it might sell for more based on rarity. But it does mean that the seller will probably be waiting a lot longer to make a sale.

Same is true re mods. If the mods are what a buyer specifically wants, then the car could be worth as much as an unmolested car of the same year/mileage/condition - possibly even more. But there won't be many of those buyers around so it may take a while for the sale to take place.

 

I apologize for straying off topic, but this car didn't reside in the Atlanta area in the mid/late 80s did it? I recall seeing one this color often around Stone Mountain as a kid..

 

Not to my knowledge. I purchased the car from the Southwest around 2000. At that time, I spoke to the previous 2 owners, both were from the SW (Arizona / Nevada IIRC).

 

I just listed my '83 308QV on FerrariAds. Great car looking for a new home.

thanks,
Paul

 

GLWS - a better market than 4 months ago, eh?

 

Possibly, but I found another sailboat, so.......

 

What happen with the car? It was sold?
