Info about this vehicle:

1979 Ferrari 308 GTS - Red - 104,340 Miles - Iconic Italian Sports Car family owner for the past 45 years, Australian delivered.The Ferrari 308 GTS stands as one of the most significant and accessible Ferraris ever produced, and this 1979 example represents the early generation of Pininfarina's masterpiece. The 308 GTS redefined what a mid-range Ferrari could be, combining genuine performance with relative practicality in a two-seat, two-door coupe that captured the spirit of 1970s Italian automotive design. With its removable Targa roof panel, the GTS variant offered open-air motoring without sacrificing the structural rigidity of the coupe platform. This model became the benchmark for affordable exotica and remains highly sought by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.. The Rosso Corsa red exterior retains its original character, presenting the classic Ferrari aesthetic that defined the era. The two-seat cabin reflects the car's age and storage history, with patina consistent with a vehicle that has been preserved rather than regularly driven. The removable Targa roof panel is present, preserving the open-air capability that distinguishes the GTS from its berlinetta sibling. The right-hand drive configuration suits Australian ownership, a relatively uncommon specification for Ferrari models of this generation.Mechanically, this 308 GTS is powered by the legendary 2.9-litre V-angle eight-cylinder engine that defines the model. The naturally aspirated powerplant delivers genuine Ferrari performance through a five-speed manual transmission, connected to rear-wheel-drive architecture that demands driver engagement. The engine number 0799 is documented in the specification data, confirming authenticity. At 4,340 miles, this represents one of the lowest-mileage examples likely to be encountered, suggesting either minimal use or careful preservation since new. The unregistered status and barn-find provenance add to the appeal for collectors seeking a project with significant originality potential.Features* 2.9 Litre naturally aspirated V-angle 8-cylinder engine* Five-speed manual transmission* Rear-wheel-drive configuration* Removable Targa roof panel* Right-hand drive steering* Two-seat, two-door coupe body* Original Rosso Corsa red exterior* Mileage indicating: 4,340 miles (been around once- 104,430)* Has always had NSW registration * Engine number 0799 documentedSpecificationsYear: 1979Make/Model: Ferrari 308 GTSBody: Coupe with removable Targa roofEngine: 2.9L V-angle 8-cylinder, naturally aspiratedTransmission: 5-speed manualDrive: Rear wheel driveOdometer: 4,340 milesColour: RedSeats: 2Steering: Right hand driveChassis no: 28437Engine No: 03799
