1978 Ferrari 308 GTS V8 4 Twin Choke Webers 5 Speed Manual Targa Top
The Ferrari 308 GTB Berlinetta and targa topped 308 GTS are V8 mid-engined, 2-seater sports cars manufactured by the Italian company Ferrari from 1975 to 1985. The 308 replaced the Dino 246 GT and GTS in 1975 and was updated as the 328 in 1985. The similar 208 GTB and GTS were equipped with a smaller initially naturally aspirated, later turbocharged 2-litre engine, and sold mostly in Italy.
For consignment some yellow eccitazione with this stunning 308 GTS (Targa top) over black bottom "boxer paint". Excellent condition, nicely documented recent service records and the ability to fly low under the Polizia Stradale radar...well maybe not, but don't take my word for it!

Exterior
The 308's body was designed by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, who had been responsible for some of Ferrari's most celebrated shapes to date such as the Daytona, the Dino and the Berlinetta Boxer. The 308 used elements of these shapes to create something very much in contrast with the angular GT4. GTS models featured a removable roof panel with grained satin black finish which could be stowed in a vinyl cover behind the seats when not in use. Bodywork has changed to all steel construction for 1978 and this steel is straight and rust free with nicely minded gaps. As a Canadian version the big crash bumper is left out, but still legal to drive in the US. All this sporty menagerie bathed in Nuovo Giallo Fly with black bottom boxer styled paint. The mid-engine design uses plenty of black accenting with window surrounds, faux venting at the B pillar, and hidden headlights with brake venting in black on the front angular quarters. On back the iconic round Ferrari taillights and the prancing horse badge. A low fast arrow (una freccia veloce bassa).

Interior
"Lusso sportivo" best describes the black leather bucket environment we are thrust into with a swing of the doors. The buckets grab you not unlike the gated shoot grid grabs the lever in the center console. On either side of the buckets are Italian design door panels with a swoop armrest and full leather buckle pouch within the lower door for storage. Back to that center console which seems to house all the controls right within reach of the driver or passenger. An aluminum panel creates the gauge cluster which is well thought out for glancing while moving fast just to monitor the essentials. A Blaupunkt stereo in need of some TLC is mounted with an EQ on the side of the dash. Wonderful yellow Ferrari dancing horse badged stitched floor mats are attracting some attention for the interior as well as protecting clean black carpeting. "liscio come il culo di un bambino!"
