For Ferrari and/or Italian exotic car collectors who seek something different than another red Prancing Horse, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS displayed in the highly sought after color of Fly Yellow. The lovely yellow exterior is complimented by a black interior that is accompanied by power windows, a radio and air conditioning.

The windows are clear and intact, as are the cars lights, including the lollipop taillights, however the headlight and highbeam switches operate intermittently. This stallion rolls on Michelin 205/70R14 radials at all four corners and surround Cromodora wheels. The tires and wheels are in very good order.

All of the coupes body panels are straight, including the removable black targa roof panel, which is signified by the S in the cars name and stands for Spider. The cargo area is in good order and comes with a fullsized spare tire. The engine bay is tidy, the battery is in good condition and the bumpers fit well to the body and look good.

The Dino V8 replaced the V6 in the next line of street Dinos to be produced by Ferrari, the 1973GT4and 1975GTB308 cars. Mounted amidships is an allaluminum 3.0L DOHC carbureted V8 engine with four Weber twinchoke downdraft carburetors that has been recently serviced and buttoned to a fivespeed manual transmission with a gated shifter.

Inside, the contrasting black interior is in overall excellent order. The bolstered bucket seats, with beige accents, look great and are ready for the next driver and passenger. The black carpet is in similar condition, as is the matching instrument panel, which is crackfree and echoes the rest of the interiors theme. The factory, padded, threespoke steering wheel is present and in very good shape, as are the beige interior door panels, which present an eyecatching contrast to the rest of the interior. The mirror glass is in good order, while the center console and shift lever are in very good order. Completing the interior is an aftermarket Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD player.
