308s on BaT

Really???... How are you going to rebuild the engine by the side of the road if you are missing the tool kit?!?!

 

I know...

And how am I going to win a concourse if the antenna isn't original?

 

The 308 prices seem lower on https://www.pcarmarket.com/

I vote for getting a beater and strip the un necessary

• Yikes!, That gullwing dealer GTB is about 30K overpriced. Save yourself & buy a top dollar example instead.

 

I've never seen a fair priced car from Gullwing. They tend to think their fixer-upper cars are worth concours condition prices.

 

Good day Christopher,

I know of one recent car where the price paid... at least what was told to me... was close to $50K below market value... and overall not a bad car (driver quality). When I was told about the purchase I cringed, but was told that the car checks out. I have not yet seen the car myself and so I am in a bit of disbelief, but perhaps every once in a while a reasonable driver level car sells for reasonable $?

Cheers,

Sam

 

I hope so! Being an owner, of course we want our values to be high, but there's driver level cars, concours level cars, and so on. When I was pursuing my 308, I had seen several listed by Gullwing, and they were asking "excellent" condition prices for cars that were barely "driver" level. So I was turned off to them fairly early on! But, I would see those cars sit for sale for months on end (years in some cases), eBay auctions would receive no bids, etc. But, if you can get one $50k below market, then I can't see that as anything but a win!

 

Peter, the owner of Gullwing, saw my Mondial coupe when I had it for sale at another dealer and threw out a pretty fair offer, it was still on the wholesale level but it was more than I would of thought a dealer would offer. I think with Gullwing you just have to know what you are looking at and also negotiate price.

 

Sheehan has the white 328 for $89k

 

Well guys, regretfully the time has come.

good luck with the sale. I wish I had some money and garage space and would be bidding

 

Oh gosh. That's a beauty!

 

Carter,
Has your car arrived? Just wondering about your new toy. Also, I know it had spare wheels and was curious how those were transported.

Thanks,

Bill

 

SMS,
Yes, the car arrived about a week ago, in good knick. I've been enjoying it as much as the tourist traffic here will allow. The carbs are a little "boggy", mostly at lower revs, but pick up well as the engine spins up more.
The original 14" wheels and the original exhaust/smog pump arrived through a seperate shipper, as they were located in New England. The exhaust components were crated and the wheels and tires were strapped and wrapped to a pallet.
Everything, including the car were very professionally shipped by quality shippers. I was very pleased, as I've dealt with some pretty shaky-d shippers in the past.

You'll probably have to set your carbs for your area, so unless you are into Webber carbs you will need to shop for a good tuner in your vicinity. Enjoy your car!!!

 

Congratulations on the big sale! Gorgeous car!

 

Thanks Cameron. Hope you guys let me still hang around in this section.
She’s heading to northern Wisconsin. I had a really good time with that auction. Not just the last 2 (30) minutes but prepping the car and everything.

 

Looks like we set a BaT record today for a steel body GTB. And 11th highest 308 overall.

 

Mr. John,
I thought about that, so I checked the Sacramento, CA website. It said the elevation there was 26ft, which kinda surprised me.
The elevation here on the island is about the same, 24ft. I don't think there's any other environmental parameter that would affect the carbs, but hey, I've been wrong before...

Thanks for the advice!

Carter
