    Tell us about the process. Bare metal? Did they remove most of the trim/rubber? Windsheild removed?

    Me too, and the red grills on the front give a much smoother look to me.

    The add is in the FerrariAds section as well but the limits on image size are a bit of a pain so I am posting here as well.

    Well my wife and I had a long talk and we agree that after 4 fantastic years it is time to let my mistress go…

    I am sad to see her go, she is a classy euro lady, born in 84, sexy curves and outstanding timeless design. she has recently returned from the "spa", new paint, strategic wax, and powder coating where required.

    55,400 miles

    While in my care belts and bearings were done in 2008,
    New connolly leather interior, seats, council, doors, inside of targa and rear shelf (looks much cleaner)
    New targa latches
    New brakes
    CV boots
    Birdmans fuse block
    New trunk zipper
    Jack tools and light
    Beautiful fitted cover

    A couple of aftermarket goodies I like that of course can be returned to stock if you wish.

    Chrome gear shift knob
    Drilled pedals

    Have insurance appraisal pre spa trip at $54,000 Cdn

    Asking $42,000

    I really do hate to see her go, but we are making room for a vintage german number that just can't seem to keep her top on ; )

    Jay,

    What a shame. You just got it back from having all that work done, and you're letting her go. I love the way the car came out, and interesting what a difference the black bumpers make. If I were planning on selling the car, though, I would have left them red, as a possible buyer might prefer to have a car that is "original" in that respect. But she looks like she's in wonderful condition. Could be a good find for someone looking for a well-sorted car.

    Until she goes, I hope that you get to enjoy her!!!!

    I like the red grills and the red bumper. With the black bumper and the euro spoiler, the front looks like a wierd grin...the red bumper mitigates that some.

    I remember calling the guy in TN to buy that car and had planned on driving up to see it. When i called the next day to get exact directions the car was sold.

    Yes that is the same car, 4 years goes fast, it is funny how time flies , it has been a ton of fun, but I have an old Porsche 356 nearing completion and I cannot justify both.

    I hope you are as happy with the 308 you found as I have been with mine.

    Huh? All 308s originally had black bumpers.

    Jay, that is a beautiful car. I hope you get a chance to enjoy it before it finds a new home.
