Should I even think about this 308 GTSi

That is just offensive!

If it were me I would run, not walk

 

I wouldn't buy that as an investment or any 308QV. Your chart shows there were over 3000 QV GTS's built. Buy it if you like the look and want to be driving a custom mid-80's flashback.

 

I kind of disagree.
I think it looks kinda nifty. If Ferrari had put out a 25th anniversary 308 or something and made these changes, I bet it would be a collector. Almost looks like a Countach from the rear.
I agree with the comment about money. It's not worth more this way, definitely less, but the person who customized the car isn't going to think so.

Not for me, but I bet it will get alot more looks from your average person than a "normal" 308.
Brent.

 

Just the cost of returning the body to normal with a full repaint and finding some QV wheels will put you into a price of buying one that is original and is in good shape. Not sure of other mods, but to reverse them will add to the cost.

 

These Koening kits are pathetic, makes the car look like a cheep 80s firebird.

 

Screams KIT CAR!

 

I know another way to throw my money away than on that

 

How wide is that rear wheels?

 

Take away the rear spoiler and I kind of dig it too. You have to remember that in the eighties, excess of this sort was the norm. Just look at anything made by GM or Ford when they were trying to get the pulse of what they thought was the enthusiast tastes at the time. I seem to recall some pretty elaborate offerings from Mercedes and Porsche as well. The trend now is more sedate with a focus on functional extremes. So considering what it represents I wouldn't change anything about it and would just enjoy it for what it is.... hardcore eighties excess.

 

Why take the real thing and make it look fake? Keep looking, you'll be glad.

 

It would only make sense if you loved the way it looks now, and weren't going to change it.

 

Sure it's not a Pontiac Fiero???

 

I'll give ya a buck two dollars 98 cents for it.

 

If everything checks out OK, buy it, you can always change it back ton its original look,
if not, hey at least you have the body kit

 

Did Koening ever do anything to the engines with these? Were they all about the bodykit?

 

Wow. That's the first Ferrari I've ever seen kitted to look like a Fierro (sp?). Why would you buy this when you could buy an original Fierro for a couple grand? Butt ugly.
Run Forest run.

 

That's a great period piece. Wild widebody kits were the THING back in the 80s! I'd keep it just as it is, including the wheels. Maybe add a turbo just to give it a kick.

 

O MY GOD NO

Will be a money pit to put it back to original.

Any mods to the engine / powertrain? If no mechanical improvements over stock, I'd offer no more than $20K. That style is just too dated, he's gonna be lucky to find a buyer outside of Tijuana...

Plus, '83 was the worst year for the QV's --- they had a lot of initial bugs. If the car has had all the recall / upgrade stuff done, fine. If it has not, run away fast...

As much as I hate to see an F-car VIN disappear for ever, that car is worth more broken up for parts than as is....

 

If you are looking for an investment grade car-that is far from it. That car will only make people laugh at you while you drive down the road.
