308 Euro 308 GTS, carbed, how rare?

Fave · 02-06-2012, 03:44 PM

Hey guys,

I have been keeping my eyes open for an early euro 308 GTS, Besides the odd RHD I haven't seen any available. I've been looking at all the European and NA sites.

I'm in no rush, but I figured I would have seen something available.

Cheers

Sort of like this? Not that rare in Europe. They rusted like all get out, but all Ferraris of that vintage did.

one of your Canadian bretheren picked up a carbed 308 from Mike Sheehan of Ferraris online, i believe its in the middle of a ground up restoration, you might check with him as well as Craig Caldwell over at Fast Cars Redondo Beach formally Tillack and Co. 310 937 6700, they may have a line on something, i drove the car that was sold to Brett up in Canada, it was pretty solid, but a much different feel from my 328, good luck ,Brett Ps Symbolic Motor Cars La Jolla , Ca, might also be a good source, ask for Shawn, last time i was there , they had a sick 84 512 BBi in insanely good condition, for 119,000. just in case that tickles your fancy, it did mine, but ,you know,,lol

Thanks guys, I know they exist, just haven't found one yet. Not looking for a ground up, but not a dog either. No the 512 doesn't do it for me, they're nice but not my cup of tea. I need a stable mate for the euro gt4.

I'll give those guys a call.

Which sites are you looking at? There are normally at least 5-10 for sale in Germany & Italy at any time.

Could you give me some links to these sites? I have been searching and cant find any Italian or German car sales sites.

Try this:

Search Results: Cars on mobile.de

Handy words to know: VERGASER means carbs.

There are a couple GTS's on there.

Onno

I sold mine in November. It sold within a week of my placing the advert. The buyer did tell me he had looked at several over a period of six months and all had varying degrees of rust and poor bodywork repairs. I posted pictures here in the 308 members list. There are cars out there but it appears that it takes some time to find a good one.
