This European-market 1980 Ferrari 308 GTS is finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero leather upholstery and is powered by a 2.9-liter V8 mated to a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a removable roof panel, pop-up headlights, 16″ alloy wheels, a single-exit exhaust system, air conditioning, power windows, a gated shifter, and an Alpine stereo. Service since 2020 included servicing the engine and transaxle as well as the steering, air conditioning, and brake systems, repairing electrical issues, and replacing the tires, and the seller acquired the car in December 2023. This 308 GTS is offered on dealer consignment with a car cover, a tool kit and jack, a removed factory radio, and a clean Montana title.
The car is finished in Rosso Corsa and features a black removable roof panel, pop-up headlights, a driver-side mirror, a power-retractable antenna, a vented decklid, a rear fog light, and a single exhaust outlet. The left taillight was repaired in 2020.
Silver-finished 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels were mounted with Bridgestone Potenza S007A tires in 2020. The fully independent suspension features double wishbones front and rear, and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs. Work under previous ownership included rebuilding the steering rack and rear brake calipers and replacing the tie rod ends.
The bolstered bucket seats are trimmed in Nero leather that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Appointments include a gated shifter with a dogleg gear pattern as well as air conditioning, an aftermarket alarm system, power windows, and a Bluetooth-capable Alpine stereo. A Blaupunkt cassette radio is included in the sale. The passenger window switch was repaired under previous ownership.
The leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel frames Veglia instrumentation consisting of 280-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 7,700-rpm redline, and supplementary gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. An analog clock and an oil temperature gauge are mounted to the left of the primary instrument cluster. The five-digit odometer on this Euro 1980 Ferrari 308 GTS shows 65k kilometers (~41k miles).
The mid-mounted 2.9-liter V8 is equipped with four Weber carburetors and was factory rated at 252 horsepower in European configuration. Service since 2020 included adjusting the carburetors, rebuilding the distributor, recharging the air conditioning refrigerant, and replacing the water pump, oil pan gasket, air injection plugs, oil cooler mounts, drive belts, and decklid struts. The results of a 2020 compression test can be viewed in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. Work in September 2022 consisted of replacing the transmission pan gasket, left CV boot, and shift shaft seals.
