Up for sale is my 1980 308 GTSi. 63,000 miles. Loads of service records. Very good condition. Minor paint chips here and there, but it was resprayed yellow in the 1990s. The interior was redone at that time with yellow cloth inserts in the black seats. The original 14" Campagnolo wheels are included with the car; they will be fitted with new tires prior to delivery. The car is very well sorted. As far as I know, it needs nothing mechanically. In late 2011 (less than 6000 miles ago), the car was completely serviced by Carlo at Alfa of Tacoma. That service included repair of oil leaks, major service, timing belts, tensioners, plugs, distribubutor gaskets, distributor feed, grease and replace c.v. boots, driving belts, valve clearance adjustment, cam seals, fuel filters, fuel injection distributing head, new oil engine cooler, new fuel accumulator, compression test, air filter, air pump seal, and more. That was right before I purchased the car from a dealer in the Tacoma area. Since I bought the car less than three years ago, I've had the following done to the car: Replaced the steering box, all fluids, and all of the cooling hoses in spring 2012. (Oil and fluid changes each spring since.) Installed Forza light weight Aluminum radiator for 308/328 last summer. New clutch at 61,000 miles. Replaced several oil seals -- no significant leaks. Heater controls serviced -- working perfectly. A/C serviced a year ago and holding the charge beautifully -- blows cool. New battery in the last year. I had the speedo refaced and recalibrated to 180mph by Palo Alto Speedometer (the best in the business). These cars came standard in the US with an 85mph speedometer. I installed the modern Birdman fuse box (the original comes with the car if you want it). Fuel lines: Replaced last year with the fancy orange ones by Dave Helms. I installed a new coolant expansion tank in the past year. New mats in the last yearNew wiper arms, blades, fluid reservoir, and pump. Other details: Euro style bumpers front and back. Side lights removed and blanked when the car was repainted. This gives it the clean look of a Euro car. The switch to Euro bumpers necessitated removal of the large metal exhaust "diaper" that is typical on the back of the U.S. cars. The exhaust system is all black so it looks very good without it. Switches and Vents: All work. Replaced the light switch with one from Verell a year or two back. Also replaced one of the kidney dash vents with his (the other was fine). The A/C/ vent below the radio is missing a few fins, but works fine otherwise. Transmission: Fine into all gears but it is best to slowly push it into second, especially when cold. This was improved markedly by the switch to Red Line transmission fluid, but it's still best to slowly push it in rather than shoving it, particularly when cold. Windows: All glass is excellent and (as far as I know) original. The window motors are fine -- no faster or slower than is typical for these cars.Lights: All work. Paint: Very good overall. The car was originally grigio in color. A prior owner took it down to bare metal for the respray (as shown in a pile of polaroids from the project that come with the car). Very good gloss and sheen with no orange peel that I can see. There is a chip on the right rear corner, to the right of the tail light. There is a small ding on the lower part of the passenger door where someone opened a door into it. There is a small abrasion in the paint where the passenger window must at some point have contacted the paint. I worked on the door after I got the car and got it hanging straight so this is no longer touching/rubbing, but that paint could be touched up with a brush or airbrush. One small bubble (about 1" or so in size) in near the leading edge of the lower half of the passenger door, which has not grown since I bought the car. Mats are new last year. Weather stripping is good overall. New stripping around the forward spare tire compartment. Not new but in good condition around the storage compartment behind the engine. New zippered cover installed in the rear luggage compartment. Exhaust is magnaflow. It sounds incredible, especially as you get past around 3000RPM. Suspension is good. This truly is a beautiful car. It is terrific to drive. The new steering box gives it handling feel comparable to a much newer car. I love it. I will be sick to see it go. But with a growing family, I need to move to a car with a TINY bit more practicality, so Mondial here I come! Please ask any questions BEFORE offering.
