We are pleased to offer 1985 US model 308 GTS QV s/n 58611, a very late (June, 1985) production QV and indeed the highest serial number of any model 308 that we have ever sold and so one of the very last 308s ever built! As any Ferrari aficionado knows Ferrari (and indeed most of Italy) shuts down in late July for Ferragosto, the national vacation month of August. When Ferrari re-opened for business in September of 1985 the production line had switched to the then-new 328 GTB and GTS. As the last evolution of the 308 Series, the 308’s quattrovalvole engine (literally meaning “four valves” in Italian) pushed the engine power up to 240 hp. Cosmetically the QV featured a slim louvered panel in the front lid to aid radiator exhaust cooling, power operated mirrors, and an updated interior. Thanks to the improved horsepower and the easy-to-shift gearbox, the quattrovalvole’s offer a wonderful driving experience. The gearbox syncros work smoothly, the clutch is light to use but grips quickly and the QV’s can be thrown into corners with total ease and confidence, due to the great handling characteristics. Performance through the RPM range is excellent and a thrill, when fully serviced, thanks to the smooth power and torque curve of the final evolution of the 308 engine.
The first few years of ownership are unknown but as per the Carfax 308 GTS QV s/n 58611 lived in New Jersey and was serviced by Ferrari Philadelphia from 1993 to 2015 before moving to California and to the most recent owner on 21 Dec., 2016. 308 GTS QV s/n 58611 comes with a loose leaf binder filled with service and parts docs showing multiple parts purchases from GT Car Parts in Phoenix and service docs that show that s/n 58611 was serviced by Specialized Porsche in Riverside in 2017, by Ferrari Service of Costa Mesa in 2018 and with additional service work by GTO Engineering in 2019.
