    I am selling my well documented and very complete car after a little over 1-year of ownership as I have just purchased a 77’ 308 GTB. Major Service was completed last year 8/14 and included belts, tensioner bearings, water pump, new battery, condenser and A/C service. Wheels are virtually perfect with new tires in 2013. Car has all books, shop manual and records back to early 1990’s. Also has both the tool kit, jack kit as well as original plug –in emergency light. The original paint is outstanding and absolutely everything works including A/C that blows cold. I installed a new Alpine Bluetooth head unit and speakers in the original cutouts behind carpet covers, but I have original period Alpine unit. The car also has Tubi Exhaust, which sounds fantastic! I have the original exhaust as well as cat, making the car 100% complete and original. Car comes with cover and three sets of keys. To my knowledge I am the third owner. Clean Car Fax, no accidents, no rust. The car runs and performs phenomenally. Starts instantly, idles perfectly at 900rpm and pulls smoothly and strongly all the way though the power curve. It is truly one of the best running, best sorted 328’s out there. I have many more pics. Please message me if you would like to see more or have questions. Car is located in Charlotte, NC. Vin#ZFFXA20A1G0066049. Asking 89,900…..

    Sharp car, I like the early 328s. Best Ferrari ever made.

    What's the switch behind the gear lever?

    that is, unfortunately, the last remnants of the removed and discarded 80's alarm system.

    pardon me, correction. Radar detector was removed, wiring and all. Alarm system is still intact and functional. I still use it from time to time..

    Why the switch from a 328 to a 308?

    Hopefully so, I always say the early cars are really an entirely different car from the later, 308s and 328s.

    GLWS!

    Well, to be honest I wanted a carbed 308 to begin with and had an offer on a 77' GTB. At the same time I knew that my current car was available locally here in the Charlotte area. I went "out of state" to dealer to look at the GTB and needless to say it was an extensive project car. At the time I had neither the experience or desire to enter into a restoration. I had seen the 328 and driven it prior to seeing the 308, and I had several trusted friends and professionals advising me that a 328 would be a sound and reliable decision. When I returned I bought the 328. It has more than lived up to its reputation or good performance, great reliability and strong value. I still, however, wanted an earlier carbed car. I finally found a very solid 308 GTB and decided to make the move. Next evolution will hopefully be a 246???

    You'll love the '77 308! I had one, NO better sounding car in the world. No cats and those 4 twin choke downdraft Weber's are a thing of beauty. Mine was #22681. Wish I still had that car. Enjoy!
