1983 308 QV in Austin

free bump, love the white!

 

Check with David Moore, (MOORESPEED) he may know about it.

Hmmmm...a boxer trim 308 with repainted euro spoiler, metric sized rims can be a challenge getting tires for, & The price seems kind of steep.

 

I hate to say it, but be careful! I recently found out that that place had several Ferraris listed for sale that they didn't own and that weren't actually for sale. I just talked to the owner of the cars they had listed and he didn't have a clue they were on their website. They were never for sale.

It's also the same place that tried to sell me a $25,000 308 for $45,000. Please...

 

damn, good looking out Mike!

 

That car is constantly left out in the sun and in all sorts of weather without cover. I've seen it on many bad occasions sitting in the middle of the lot. They only cover their 348 it seems. As Mike said, they don't have a great reputation from what I've heard. Just throwing this all out there so you can get a better idea of them. However, I'd be more than happy to go snap some pics or info if you'd like.

 

John, are you trying to corner the market on 308's?

 

Wow, I guess I'm behind. You already sold the blue one?

 

Dr. John, I'm afraid I have no information about this car, nor can I help you check it out at the moment, but I did just post a separate thread inquiring about Ferraris in the Austin area for other reasons. You might look at that thread from time to time, perhaps some Austinite tifosi will identify themselves there.

Good luck!

 

Not familiar with the car but I did stop by that place once to look at a 308. it was in really rough shape, interior was trashed and like was said, they leave most cars outside. If you're really interested, I could swing by to take a look-see.

There's also another outstanding exotic service facility in Austin that may be familiar with this car, Colvin Auto (www.colvinautomotive.com)

Mine was for sale for a while, but have decided to hang on to it for awhile.

 

What about an 84:

Got your email John,

Don't know the car as it has never been to our shop before. I have never seen it at a Ferrari Club function either.

I have seen it out in bad conditions as others stated too. Never bothered to stop and look though.

There are some really nice 308s and then there are some down right pathetic 308s in this town too.

Many of the 308s (almost all) that we see need lots of TLC now as they are getting quite old.

Almost all I've seen recently (unless we fixed them) need some or all of the following to make them tits:

Shock bushings
Steering bushing at right
Shift Shaft seals
Cam Seals
Hoses, water and fuel
Warm Up regulator (on injected models) accelerator pump diaphrams on carb models
Dash reupholstered
Window motor/cable servicing
and then service items like belts and fluids

These cars are 30 years old and the rubber just doesn't hold out that long.

Don't know of a good nice 308 available currently. But I'll keep you posted.

First post on the forum. I'm a long-time Ferrari admirer but forgive me as I'm a newbie in terms of technical knowledge about these cars. I am learning a lot from all of you. Thanks!

I actually just dropped by this place on N. Lamar recently. There were several Fcars there. I saw 2 308s. One 308QV with the white Boxer paint scheme and the other was solid white. Both looked pretty tired. The sad thing (since they are apparently stored outside) is the solid white one was missing the rear window!

There was a Mondial 3.2 I believe in red/tan that looked a little better off than the 308s. I also saw a red 308 with a black convertible top (?) and repainted 14" wheels. Looked like some sort of aftermarket work.

 

Are you kidding !
They are Ferraris; got to be worth a Million bucks a pop.

 

Here's one of the 308's that you were referring to, I think this is the second time it's been listed on Ebay. You can even tell buy the photos that it needs a ton a work. Just for laughs, I called about this car & the asking price was $37,000.

Yeah right.

 

It definitely needs an interior restoration. The leather on the drivers seat had cracked and looks like it had been repaired with one of those DIY kits.

 

"I'm gonna add a deep spoiler, but delete the Boxer trim on it...."
