The story

Debuting in 1975, the Ferrari 308 was viewed as a more than capable successor to the Dino 246, its shape influenced by the 1965 Dino Berlinetta Speciale. The design has aged exceptionally well, frequently cited as one of the most attractive automobiles ever produced, and contemporary road testers praised the car's polished driving dynamics. This 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS is finished in Fly Yellow and has covered 39,365 miles. Motivation is supplied by the original 3.0-liter V8 mounted amidships, breathing through four two-barrel Weber carburetors. A comprehensive engine-out service was performed in 1988 at 38,166 miles, along with a professional repaint in the factory hue. Careful maintenance ever since has left the car in excellent overall condition. The cabin retains its original black leather on the dashboard, door pockets, carpets, and steering wheel, with only light wear visible on the driver's seat. Exterior paint, trim, glass, body seals, and the engine bay are all in excellent condition and free of dry rot. The car starts without hesitation, pulls strongly, leaks nothing, shifts crisply, and brakes with authority. As one of the most recognizable and desirable carbureted 308 variants, this example delivers a compelling combination of classic styling and dependable performance.
