What’s special about this listing

1978 Ferrari 308 GTS*
Transverse 3.0L Mid Engine V8
5-Speed Gated Manual Transmission
Serial Number 25201
102,700 miles

Popularized by the TV Show Magnum P.I., starring Tom Selleck, the 308 GTS, designed by Pininfarina, became a famous car, which is regarded as an iconic classic, beautifully styled car to this day.
There were 3,219 GTS models made during the 1975–1980 production period.
Its F106 AB V8 engine is equipped with four twin-choke Weber 40DCNF carburetors and dual coil and distributor ignition, producing 237 HP at 6,600 rpm, more powerful and quicker than the later fuel injected models.
The current owner acquired this 308 in 1994, after its previous owner (since 1993) completed a major service in 1993, including the drivetrain, cooling system, fuel system, body & chassis and electrical system (all at 80k miles). The car had a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission, a new differential, clutch and brakes. Its body was stripped to bare metal and restored with new Rosso Corsa red paint – which still shows like new today. A newer AM/FM/cassette audio head unit has been added. Everything works, including the A/C.
