This stunning Italian Classic has been driven only 37,500 miles in 33 years.  It comes with period correct mint 3-piece BBS 16" aluminum rims wrapped in Pirelli tires (plenty of tread). 


I purchased this fine vehicle from California where it spent seemingly all of its life before I brought it to South Florida.  It comes with the original Ferrari factory congratulatory purchase letter for its first owner.  It comes with the original owners manual and factory tools as well as an extensive service history totaling approximately $30K by its previous California owner (20 years) and myself (6 years).  In addition, the previous owner spent $10K on a top notch paint job during his ownership.  

In good running condition.  Timing belts serviced at 33.5K miles.  Rear brake rebuild and service last year.  Recently had ignition system serviced.  It has the upgraded fuse blocks and the electrics are in fine working order.  An issue affecting these cars at this age that is rarely mentioned is the cats getting clogged.  I had mine removed mine but kept them on hand for the next owner if they choose to rebuild them.  The smog pump is installed in the car but disconnected. If you live in a state that has emissions testing, you will have to deal with servicing the disconnected equipment.  No guarantees. 

The interior is all original showing normal wear (driver's bolster), good stitching without tears.  Having been a California car and kept indoors (garaged), the body on this pre-galvanized 308 (75-82) is way better than most.  Most of the pre-galvanized 308s suffer from rust issues.  It is rust-free with the exception of rust bubbles developing on the bottom of the doors (priced accordingly).  It's a very common problem on these yet most people don't bother mentioning it on their ads.  It has rare mint bumpers and crystal clear (unfaded) lights.  

The A/C is installed in the car but the belt was disconnected.  The A/C was in working order when I acquired it but useless in the summer heat.  If you want good A/C, you need to buy yourself a pricier 328 ($45,000 - $65,000), as all 308s come with sub-rate A/C systems.

Ugar Sahin Design's F is a radical Ferrari 458 in disguise

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Look, Ferrari, your latest line of cars is arguably the best looking group of prancing stallions since the early 1970s. Even the rather dull California has gotten some attention, thanks to the new California T. But this, the Ferrari F from Ugur Sahin Design, is just better.
Believe it or not, that is based on a 458 Italia. It's like the designer has taken the very best aspects of the Pagani Huayra, Jim Glickenhaus' P4/5 and the Ferrari LaFerrari and combined them into one amazing package. We think it's positively stunning.
Now, obviously, there are some aspects that wouldn't work for a production car. For example, those rear blind spots are probably huge. But when a car looks this good, who really cares? In fact, we'd be willing to designate this Ferrari as the best looking car Ugur Sahin has penned, which is high praise indeed.

How this Ferrari 250 GTE became Rome's most famous police car

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

We're used to seeing fancy cars gifted to or bought by certain international police forces today, but the story of this 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE goes well beyond a gift. Because Rome's anti-organized-crime unit, Squadra Mobile, was doing a terrific job in the early '60s, the Italian president asked what they wanted as a token of appreciation. The answer, meant as a joke, was "A Ferrari." The president, in all seriousness, got them two.
One was almost immediately destroyed during testing, the other remains in the care of Alberto Capelli today, whose father began attending military and government auctions just after World War II. Petrolicious visited Capelli to hear the 51-year-old tale of the most precious cop car you're going to see for a while, and it involves outlaws, a French gangster in a Citroën, a policeman who was offered a spot on the Ferrari factory team by Enzo himself, and more. It's a fantastic yarn, and you can watch the whole story below.

1954 Ferrari 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe named Best In Show at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

For the first time in the event's 64-year history, the prestigious Best In Show honor at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance has been awarded to a Ferrari. The 1954 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe seen here is owned by car collector Jon Shirley of Medina, WA, and as it turns out, has quite a rich history.
Nevermind the fact that it's currently one of five road-going 375 MMs - this example was ordered by film director Roberto Rossellini, and was actually born as a Pininfarina-bodied competition Spyder. Following an accident, the car's original body wasn't able to be saved, but the chassis was sent to Carrozzeria Scaglietti in Modena for replacement, and the finished product became the company's first passenger car design for Ferrari.
Following its tenure with Rossellini, the car was owned by Mario Savona of Palermo, and later Charles Robert of Paris. Years later, the car was restored by its current owner in 1995, after being found in an underground garage in a Paris suburb.
