For Sale 1983 Ferrari GTSi Quatra Valve Concours d'Elegance Quality This maybe one of the finest quality 308's available anywhere. Low original miles. I have owned the car for over 15 years purchased in February 1996 and have the vehicles complete history. I am the 3rd owner of the car. I have owned exotic cars, Ferrari, Rolls Royce and am absolutely anal about my cars. This will make a fine addition to anyone's collection. This car is destined to be a timeless classic; some people say it was one of Ferrari's best work for timeless design and just plain great to drive. The Targa top makes this car an absolute timeless classic. The paint on this car is original. The paint is next to perfect on the car. I am not aware of any chips, dings or dents it's that perfect. No scratches on the car. I and my staff have spent hours buffing and maintaining the car finish as long as I have owned it, there are no surprises on the paint finish, including the wheels. The wheels have been upgraded and are not the original wheels; they are off a Ferrari 328. The reason for the change was when I purchased the car it had the originals wheels and Michelin metric tires on the car. The spare is the original 308 wheel and tire; the wheel or the tire has never been used. The 328 wheels allowed me to mount new low profile Pirelli tires, wider in the rear then front with some suspension adjustments improved the cars handling performance dramatically. Since the new wheels and tires it lowered the car and the roll or side to side movement in the wheel was eliminated, the lower profile tires allow this car to handle and drive like it's on rails, it very aggressive. The wheels are perfect the paint is perfect, the original decals are on them along with the correct OEM centers and Ferrari air stem caps, no after market China junk on this car. The new wheels and Pirelli tires were installed approx. at 18,000 miles; the tires are like new, no side cracks, and no uneven wear. The interior is also perfect. A few upgrades were added inside also. The seats are like new, and show almost no wear, carpet is like new, no stains or snags. The dash is perfect no cracks or splits. Everything works in and on the car. The pedals have all been upgraded to aluminum billet racing pedals; they are like new show no wear also. The pedals really add a nice touch to the interior. The shifter knob has also been replaced with a matching aluminum racing knob, a new polished shift gate was installed, again quality replacements no junk was used. I added a small OEM Ferrari prancing horse emblem to the center counsel tray area, another nice touch. The ash tray has never been used or no one has smoked in this car. The radio, the power antenna and CD player work fine, I never used them much, I preferred to hear the engine. I installed a polished QuickSilver stainless steel exhaust system in the car, the deep throaty sound along with performance increase was a great upgrade for the car, and it sounds sweet. Better then a Tubi exhaust system in my opinion. I removed the air pump from the car for performance reasons; you may need to have that addressed if you live in a E-check state/county. The car has a Ungo security system installed in it along with a custom Rosewood accent on the key. A Ferrari fender badge has been added to each front fender, these are not cheap decals of any type, and they are metal OEM Cloisonné enamel badges found on the F50 custom fitted to fit the profile of the 308 fender, this upgrade alone was over $3K. The original floor mats that came with car are included and in excellent condition, along with those mats are a set of custom red floor mats that have the Ferrari Scuderia racing logo embroidered in them in brilliant original logo colors. NADA value on this car in 2010 was $58,000. This car has never been damaged in anyway; I have never driven this car recklessly or abused the engine in anyway.
