Yes...and perhaps his 308 is exactly the car of the "change of sides for the Pininfarina badge", as originally, on the first glass cars, the single badge was on the right side of the car, not on the left... Rgds
Thank you very much, I didn't know that: I believed that all the vetroresina cars had the Pininfarina badge on the right side. ciao
The date of the change is mid-1976, and passed from the right side (passenger's side on Vetture Guida Sinistra - LHD) to the left (driver's) but I am not able to tell you on which actual car by chassis number. Rgds
The change is at the end of October 1976 or very early November 1976. I have several car with left side badge before Fioravanti's 308, and several right side badge after (especially all RHD cars)...
I'm not saying in my message above that all RHD cars have the right side badge. It is just the few after Fioravanti's are all RHD, usually RHD change took longer.
Pretty cool color combo blue/ blue 308 QV sold on BaT today http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-ferrari-308-gts-quattrovalvole-2/ Some were saying it was a real steal, it was very nice, but it had metric wheels and no smog equipment, so that to me is an easy $10k. The miles were low, but not that low. I thought it would go for money though with the rare color combo and relative nice shape. Hope haggerty is right about the ten year outlook
- Pics look good, but of course in-person inspection shows things that pics don't. - Interior in particular looks cared for... really, that's all original? - Targa bag is a nice include - Engine bay looks not only cared for, but maintained nicely - 58K Miles, not exactly a "wow" factor there. - I'm not an owner that cares much about the toolkit, but FWIW - the toolkit isn't complete. At current market trends, I'd call this a $55-60K car.
Market is indeed slow. Loads of cars didn't sell and the one that did, went typically below min estimate
That is pretty much market now ---- for a Fiberglass wet sump car. There are 3 or 4 more currently on the market for between 150 and 200k. I would imagine a fiberglass dry sump car would bring 25 to 50k more.
Quick! Someone chime in with more nonsense on how 308 series cars or not worthy of such sales numbers..
Did anyone inspect this one? I was told not nearly as nice as described? 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB | Gooding & Company
Seems to be the case across the whole collector car market. Been casually looking for another Porsche 911. Just low tide in the cycle, give it a year or two and prices will be on the rise once again. And as always, condition, Service records, maintenance and mileage verified Cars will be most coveted.
