There's nothing more satisfying than obtaining your childhood dream car!
Totally!
My biggest dislike would be those US spec. bumpers not only the look but they add about 200lbs weight to the car.
Yeah I have to agree with that. It really distracts the overall styling. At least it can be converted all be it, with difficulty. Even so, it still a beautiful car.
Completely agree.
In Beverly Hills Cop he’s driving a 308, but then pulls up in a 328. The scene is excellent and very drive it like you stole it. One of the finest cars and 80s movies ever 👍
You forgot (OR more likely never heard off the little known movie)
" To Live and Die in LA"
where there's a gorgeous black 308 that's driven hAard ! 👍
You forgot to mention Christie Brinkley driving the red and tan 308 in the movie “National Lampoon’s Vacation” 👍😎
Ohh yes!
240 hp in a light road car with the torque of a V8 is enough .Torque is more useful than HP When 70mph is the legal limit
The 308 looks amazing. Good job with keeping it fresh! Enjoyed the video. I’m with you, have had a lifelong love affair with cars like the 308 and I get the bug to purchase one every time I see a nice example like yours! Thanks for sharing!
Jerry, my friend, when this is over, we will do the Gallardo profile to end all Gallardo profiles ;)
I own your twin. I love it and agree with the price of parts/service. I just tell people to add a 0 to the end of everything they are used to paying. $30 oil change is $300. Every 5 years the maintenance is not $800-1000, it's $8,000-$10,000 for the Ferrari "major" routine maintenance. Oh, and you forgot about Christy Brinkley driving the 308 in National Lampoon's Summer Vacation :) Thank you for sharing.
Who can forget Christy!
I’ve owned my 308 for 32 years and two months ago learned you can adjust the steering wheel position. Remove the cosmetic collar under the steering column and there is a nut/bolt that loosens on a slide. The wheel will move from slanted forward to more upright, but then the gauges get partially blocked. I adjusted mine an inch and it made better and more drivable
That is a great discovery. I really have gotten used to the original position but great to know.
#6 - Slow windows (when they work at all), #7 - Can't get into 2nd gear until hot, #8 - Shoestring belts for generator, water pump and AC which break frequently, #9 - Out of production metric TRX tires which require you buy aftermarket wheels if you want standard sizes, and #10 - I sold it.......Wish I still had it after watching your video!
Your points very valid! Still.... a magnificent machine
But we love them eventhough
I had the same start up issue with my 308, it turned out to be a bad fuel accumulator, very hard start when warm. Once I installed a new one which was very easy I never had a hard start issue again.
I love that you left in the strained start-up. You don't pull punches. Good video!
Thanks 👍
I adjusted the steering wheel on my 1984 308
Pull off the little piece of dashboard trim directly under the steering column and there are a couple of bolts to loosen. (It will be obvious which ones). Once you loosen those, you will notice that the steering wheel still won't move. That is because the steering column under the dash must change length as you adjust the angle of the wheel. There is a BIG collar lock nut on the steering column, about halfway to the floor. Loosen that and it allows the steering column to "telescope" while you adjust the wheel. Once everything is set right, tighten everything. Do not forget to tighten the collar nut....leaving it loose would be bad.
The big collar nut on the steering column can be very tight. My advice is to spray some PB Blaster or similar penetrant on it the day before you tackle it. (Wrap a rag around the column when you do it so you won't get the stuff on your carpet or pedals). When you go to loosen the nut, get an assistant to hold the steering wheel. Makes it a lot easier.
Great recommendation! thanks for taking the time
Beautiful Ferrari! Always prefer the classics...nice summarization. Thank you for sharing.
Dr. David Schwartz thanks for the feedback. A very personal list. Sure others can disagree :)
One of the nicest I've seen. Beautifully maintained. Paint looks amazing for the age of the vehicle.
Thanks man. I try to keep it in best condition possible for its age
The dual engine cover catches are just diabolical. If one catches and the other doesn't its a struggle to undo them to start again.
Thanks for making these videos. As a ‘86 328 owner, i love them!!
Thanks! Your support keeps me going :)
Whoever cleaned that car, knows how to do that. Paint looks great, cleaned and polished. That is a skill in itself that takes time to master. I'm also glad you mentioned Pininfarina. Their designer/s did an awesome job. And like you said, later models (like my favorite car for its looks: the 288 GTO) does indeed take a lot of styling queues from the 308. Should I be a fan of Pininfarina or of Ferrari for how this looks? I'll be a fan of both but it's interesting to think: my favorite thing about Ferrari comes from another organization.
Nice video. Heartfelt review which sets it apart from all the other. Thanks.
Many thanks! Trying to be honest and genuine
Congrats on achieving and owning your dream car amigo!
I too love these years and the black bumpers...
Thanks for that!
Love the 308 and 328. I remember going to the NYC auto show in the 80's. I sat in a brand new 308. So awesome. Also Macy's in NYC had one for sale inside the store, really cool back then.
It was the coolest car back then
Beautiful car. Contemporary road tests showed US models (230bhp) did 0-60 between 6.8 and 7.4 secs, and a top speed between 142 and 144. Euro cars were much quicker, with apparently only 10 bhp more. 0-60 between 5.7 and 6.3, top speed between 150 and 154.
One summer in the 80s my friend and me hired a 328 GTS for some days. Some of the best days in my life. We will never forget those days... once i drove 270 km/h with open roof, my hairstyle completely messed up. To drive after that experience with a Ferrari my own Ford Cortina Mk 4, made me a bit depressed... 😁
Regards from Germany 👋🏻
I never drove a Ferrari in the 80s but I dreamt I would one day. Thank you for your story. Danke schoen!
I really love your car, I hope one day to own a Ferrari 308. Great video and thanks for sharing your car with us. Thank you!
Glad you like it Angel
Terrific wax job on this paint. The car looks new. Great job keeping it clean. One of my favorite cars ever made.
Thanks 👍
Great video Ervin, thanks for sharing the pros and cons of tour beautiful 308!
A real classic. love love love the 308
Great work on the video! You’re getting really good at this..
I would agree to plus points. But I would personally give more praise the handling. (least for my 328) But I don’t think your roads allow you to even explore that part of the cars personality. There is definitely a power difference and drive-ability you’d appreciate between the 308/328. Versus my 550 I don’t miss the power if I’m honest. These cars are very nimble and feel like a go kart on the right road and it feels just right for the chassis.
I think you need to see your mechanic though as it shouldn’t be that temperamental starting.
I personally would switch the steering rake to a plus for the car. This adds to the experience of driving these classics. When you get on a road that requires you to give ample steering input / lock, this makes the car feel like the event they are to drive. And they are an event like no other.. (that’s my number 1)
It’s quirky yes and strange I agree, but just so right too.
It’s the Ferrari I like most and of course I would be also much lucky if I would own one, but for me it is too expensive!
May be in next life 😀
I wish you a lot of fun with this, in my opinion, most beautiful car that has ever designed 👍
Thanks! I also think it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. My #1 would be the Dino
Absolutely beautiful example...very nice!!
Thank you!
I have an 84 and agree with almost everything-My car has 48k miles and starts like new every time. That's probably because I replaced the fuel injection system and ignition system because both systems were tired.
Definitely a replacement on my to do list
I love this car. I almost bought one when everything tanked back in '07-'09. The thing that killed it was it attracts too much attention, and my schedule wouldn't have allowed me to spend the time maintaining it I knew it would require.
I think they are still affordable and maybe there’s a dip because of pandemic. Maybe a good time to look again
Indeed a great car. You did not talk about the double wishbone suspension all round the car! As for it's temperamental issue, 'restomod' with standalone ECU to do proper electronic injection and ignition. Then tune the engine for above 300hp! You can increase the engine displacement to 3.9L too. It is my dream car too, thanks to Magnum PI . . .
Ervin!!! Great Car!!! Looks amazing!!! I would like to see it sometime ‘for real’ I live closed by. I’m from PR as well… 👍🏼
Thanks! I sold this car two years ago to a lucky new owner in Louisiana :)
Yes...Timeless Beauty 🔥
Nice car. Absolutely fantastic!. In my next list surely!, let me know when you get tired ;).
Deal!
If I was ever able to have an ‘80’s Ferrari in my garage (with my budget).....it would be an ‘85 QV just like this gorgeous example. MAN, that’s pretty! Love your shirt! Anything that shows that shifter gate can’t be all bad.
Thanks man!
I know; this is exactly the model I want when I mortgage my house.
My second favorite car shape, Porche 928 beint the first.... Love it.
The performance figure you have of 7+ seconds to 60 is probably wrong. They can get around 6.5 in reality.
Thank you! Great video.
Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed your comments. I wondered how the car drives at slower speeds and in traffic. Also, how is rear visibility in traffic (besides the mirror issue)? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the feedback. The car drives great at lower speeds. I wouldn't drive it in traffic regularly as you will feel the analog fatigue but it drives well. You will be more challenged by avoiding other cars trying to get close to you to take a picture or a glance. That can get annoying.
Loved the 308,simply iconic. The two things I hated was 1 the American bumpers and 2 the mirrors. The square mirrors looked so out of place with the flowing lines of the car. By the way, you have a beautiful example👍👍👍
I like those two features
Firstly, your car is absolutely immaculate and in beautiful condition, a credit to you and to see how you value owning it and take care of it. I really enjoyed this video as it is real life , warts and all, and for me being a fellow Italian car owner and lover-of, these 'quirks' are normal for our cars, but always good to hear a truthful review from an owner. This is also really valuable for me as I am in the market for a 328GTS here in England (UK), so while being a very 'slightly' different model, some/several of your +s and -s will also apply I'm sure. If I were you I would definitely remove the US bumpers - so much better to have the car look as Ferrari and Pininfarina designed it, and not as the 1980s over-the-top US safety regulators designed it... Keep up the good work Sir! :-)
Hi, many thanks for your comment. I did try to provide a regular guy perspective on this great car. About the US bumpers, I can tell how many people hate them and I agree with you on trying to bring the intended original design. I am definitely considering it.
Did TH-cams Ratarossa not find out the back end bumper was a PITA to change from US to euro ? Floor and metalwork different?
Great video. My biggest issue is with the hand brake.
You and me both! There must be a permanent fix
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Unnecessary....Great license plate!!
Am fairly certain there is a limited adjustment on the steering wheel with a specific wrench you can use underneath on the column.
Great, will check indeed. Thanks!
Great job on the review. I have a Prugna 85 308. Have you looked the front and rear fuel relays. they will make it difficult for cold and warm starts independently. Adjusting the fuel relays by cleaning to contacts can also help.Doing a calibration on the air-fuel mixture will also help with startup and running. If you haven't looked at the electrical board conversion have a look at FerraiChat for Birdman conversion. There are some others now that have modern fuse box inserts that use standard fuses (not glass). if you experience the mirror droop, there is a quick fix for that on youtube also $2 in screws and washers.... if you replace the injectors (Mercedes Bosch $20 each for SS not brass) you can also replace the injector bushings, there is a guy in the NL named Jens who does a fantastic job or creating custom ones (fiberglass teflon) that are better than the rubber ones - although my rubber ones were still good after 35 years and 47K miles.... so GO FERRARI!!!! the suspension bushing are also a great idea after 35 years.... makes it ride like its on rails..... have fun and thanks for sharing. San
Great tips, thanks!
@@GarageBuds just wanted so share so you and others can continue to enjoy the 3x8 series cars...
I am not sure as I am a not a 308 owner but it doesn’t seem normal your car take so long to start. Anyway, great videos and nice to see you sharing your passion!
It doesn't happen 80% of the time but it happened this time on video
I'm with you Agustin. This sounds fuel related -- fuel pressure specifically. One of 3 possible things I can think of: Bad accumulator. Bad fuel pressure regulator in the fuel distributor, OR bad fuel pump check valve. - Best guesses... Well.. one possible last thing.. the fuse blocks on these cars are known to sometimes get enough surface corrosion that there's voltage drop to circuits... including the fuel pump.. which could make the fuel pump run slow on hot 2nd start.
Hi, did you manage to sort out your warm starting problem? I’ve got the same problem, great video 👍
Thanks Andy. I still have the issue although it has improved a bit. I may consider repairing the starter on my next service appointment.
Looked like there was a fuel problem when warm? Mine starts fine when cold, but nearly flattens the battery to get it going again when it’s hot
When I saw your difficulty in starting, it reminds me of my Replica Porsche Speedster.
When it's cold, there's no problem. No problem when it's hot either. But when the engine
is in a warm state, starting requires repeated pressure to the accelerator for it to turn over.
Since it does have a Fi Tech Fuel Injection system, after having removed the carbs, the
starting should require nothing but turning the key. Was told by my mechanic that FiTech
came up with something called a Go Spark CDI Box and I hope to have it installed soon.
Basically, it is supposed to send a high degree of electric pulsations that cures the probem
of the car not 'catching' during starts. You may inquire if there is something similar for your
car?
That is one great tip buddy. Thanks. I will investigate.
Not sure I would agree that the 308 GTS looks a like a Lamborghini Countach. Maybe some slight similarities to the Lancia Stratos. The Ferrari 308 GT4 is a Marcello Gandini design seems to fit the “wedge “ description better than the GTS. GTS has the Pinifarina curves. A good Ferrari mechanic can help you with your cold star issue, you may have a problem with your cold start injector.
I was saying wedge design as compared to Dino just before it. The starter issue was resolved and the car is more dependable than newer cars!
I'm a year too late .
. . . .BUT
the Ferrari 308 is a timeless classic !
My absolute favourite even though I'm 6'1 and can barely fit into one.
The next best thing to not owning a 308 is having one in your street.
The guy at the bottom of my street owned a Studio/wharehouse.
He owned not one, but two Ferrari 308's in Australia in the late Seventies AND well before Magnum PI appeared on Aussie TV screens!
PS - I found out later that this car lovin' hombre was a big wig in the first two original Mad Max films.
NO .....it's not Mel Gibson but someone who was big in Australian cinema in the late Seventies and later in the USA in the mid to late Eighties hence the money to buy two Ferrari's in Australia.
E g. the 308 quattrovalve he owned in 1981 cost $AU150,000
that is, three times the cost of US Ferrari 308. 🤷♂️
PPS - this gentleman also owned a 1972 Can An Porsche 917 ! ! !
BY accident I became a hero at school due to the 2 x 308's and one truly great Porsche.
In a lucky episode my Phys. ED teacher dropped me off in late '83 and his mouth dropped open when he saw the 917.
Ahh . . . yep . .. along with 2 x 308's a magnificent 1972 Can Am 917 Porsche!!! 💫👌
The teacher then explained to me how cool the 917 CanAm Porsche truly were. 🤚🤚🏿🤚🏿
This teacher then saw the 308 GTS and was amazed.
1988 . . . I was 21 and I finally got to ride in a black 308 GTSi. 👌
I had made friends with the owner and he was proud that I had made it to university. He had found out it had been my 21st birthday the month before and asked if I wanted to join him for a 10 minute drive to test the new installed 'muffler ' or exhaust pipe as you guys call it in North America.
It was the quickest but MOST memorable 22 minutes of my life !!!
That 308 engine whine is still my favourite and has stayed with me forever. 💚💥💫
Man! this is a great story! Send me an email to garagebuds68@gmail.com. I have an idea we can work on. Thanks for sharing!
Any chance you could do another video with some slow pans and zoom all around? The car is gorgeous and my dream to own some day, just wish you were speaking next to the car instead of blocking it so I could see more footage of the curves. The sunny day made the red paint stand out so much, gosh I love looking at your car.
I have plans to do a cinematic video soon. Stay tuned
Garage Buds awesome! Looking forward to it 🙏
Cool video. Well done. You sound like a nice guy too, especially if you let kids sit in it and take pictures.
I appreciate that!
The steering wheel angle, windows not going completely down, and doors would swing open too easily.
Wonderful honest review. Your car looks beautiful. With your dislikes, remember two things. 1 The car is 35 years old and not comparable with modern models. 2 it's Italian. Please continue to enjoy it. Best wishes.
Thanks Paul
Thanks Paul
Thanks, Paul
Better than the ones from the USA!! STUNNING VEHICLE.
Would putting engine block heaters on the trans and engine help alleviate the "cold" starts? I've wondered about this, and it would be cool if you tried it. It should help the longevity as well of the motor over all.
Interesting proposition. I may have an issue with my starter though.
@@GarageBuds It doesnt like to be hot or would need a heater as well? Its small enough a heatgun could be used to experiment with.
ur car is very clean, nice!
Thanks!
From a boomer, you have a beautiful and great car.
Get the David Lee engine stroke to 3.6 liter and you will get 400 🐎 🏇
Thanks for sharing your insight. I'm considering purchasing a 308 and hope you can answer a couple of questions. First, does the roof panel store behind the seat? It appears to but I haven't found a definitive answer. I hope to use the car as a weekend getaway which would require taking the roof with me. And second, I've heard that anything stored in the trunk compartment will end up smelling like gas. Can you comment on this? It wouldn't be much fun making that weekend getaway if our change of clothes smells when we get there! Any thoughts you have would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Jack, let me try to answer your questions. The roof panel definitely fits behind the seats as intended. It even has a cover to keep it in place back there. Regarding the stuff in the trunk, I’ve never had any item smell like gas, especially if you close the zippered cover back there. One thing is for sure, your items will get very warm. Hope this helps
@@GarageBuds Thanks for the prompt reply. Very helpful and much appreciated!
Great video! Thanks for making it. Like you, love the car but unlike you, I don't own one :) I read somewhere that when the roof top piece is in place it squeaks a lot. Is that your experience?
Thanks! Actually, that has never been an issue. The top fits nicely and makes no noise at all
@@GarageBuds That is great, thanks for the response.
No sqeaks from my 328 roof
One of my dislikes on my 328 is the turn signal indicators is hard to see.
Same in the 308
Or the fan light
Just replaced all dash bulbs with LEDs for less than £30 and the difference is brilliant. Considering I have been racing my 1980 308GTB for 14 years it is amazingly reliable. Frequent use means less trips to the workshop.
@@REDLEN308GTB oh man, I want to do that too. Can you share what bulbs you got?
I can live with that.
No early Ferrari was "quick" because the displacement wasn't there. Displacement = Torque...just the way it is. The cars are based on racing where lap times count. The idea is to go fast overall, maintaining a high rate of speed over the length of the course, or track. The "Bus Driver" steering wheel...yeah. The "Old School" way to drive Ferrari is two hands on the bottom of the wheel, palms facing upwards, sliding or scooting the wheel back and forth. A driver can get comfortable driving in this fashion, just takes a little practice. The rubber bumpers weigh ~80 lbs. The Quarttrovalvole engine brought back nearly all the power lost when the early "injected" motors were trying to meet clean air standards, where HP numbers were closer to 210 due to less aggressive camshaft profiles, air injection pumps and the same two-valve head. The engine with the nicest sound, IMHO, is running the quad Weber set-up. Pick up a Tubi (or similar) muffler. The sound of the air rushing past the Weber venturis in combination with the "performance" muffler will, well, make it difficult to get out of the car...if you get my meaning. The two-valve motor? If you wanna have a real aural treat try to find a set of P6 camshafts, re-build the engine with pistons that pump the compression to 10.5:1 (higher still is better. 12:1 is best but 100+ octane fuel becomes an issue), add 42 or 44 DCNF Webers (with 40 mm venturis to keep the carb signal up) and the engine will spin to well over 8000 rpm, a mechanical cacophony like no other. 308s are iconic and SO fun to drive!
Thank you for that to-do list! cheers
Great car man
Thanks!
You need to change the bumpers to European spec makes a big difference,in the uk 95% of people can drive a stick shift,I only know one person that can’t and she’s from Mexico.
Please share your height and experience with driving comfort.
I'm 5'7" so I fit comfortably in most cars. Comfort is ok but not something that distinguishes these cars. Definitely not one for long trips. Having said that, it feels spacious inside and suspension is great.
Yeah, those US bumpers are horrible, and Euro bumpers don't bolt in. BUT you can buy Euro-style bumpers for US-spec 308s from Superformance in the UK. They're lighter, affordable, bolt right in, and look OEM.
Very very very nice
That car screams !!!!! Wow!!
Thanks man
Thanks for the video! the 308 is my all time favorite Ferrari (thanks to magnum pi) but the idea of maintaining it keeps me away. I own a 599 and it s also unreliable and costs an absolute fortune to run... they did not get better with time these cars!
I think if you keep it well serviced and use it rather than garage it, the car is pretty reliable.
I think if you keep it well serviced and use it rather than garage it, the car is pretty reliable.
308 QV from 1982 were a lot quicker, beating the 1983 911 Carrera 3.2 on track in a US test. A German mag clocked 160 mph top speed and 5.7 s to 60 mph (5.4 with 1 ft roll-om), 14.0 to 100 and 23.0 to 124 mph.
European carburetted 308 were also quick, clocked at 159 mph top speed with 5.8 s to 60 (5.5 with roll-on) and 24.3 s to 124 mph.
The steering wheel on my 328 is adjustable up and down using spanners. I believe it is also adjustable towards and away from the driver.
I assume that the 308 is the same.
I assume that 308 QV also has electronic fuel injection. should start every time.
Don't know how many miles you are doing or what your service schedule is but there is no point "over servicing" if you are only doing limited miles.
I get the oil and filter changed every 3 years and the belts every 7.
nothing gets changed because of any schedule.
however I have done only 3500 miles total in the last 12 years. :)
@e314ds
If you lower it the angle becomes more vertical I think. But less room for your knees.
Saw that old crappy Bosch injection system K series in the video, nothing electronic in that! He can upgrade with a standalone ECU from Link.
Beautiful car. I have a 328. You’re in North Carolina? So am I.
Yes I am! Have a couple of friends in the Raleigh area with 328s
Troppo bella ‼‼
😃😃😃
For once I hear and see a very honest likes and dislikes of a Ferrari 308.
Thanks! I may do an update soon :)
The Beverly Hills 2 Ferrari is the 328 gts.
Hey bud, regarding your no3 dislike, i have had 308’s and 328’s for over 30 yrs, your staring issues are due to a fault with your car, i have never had any issues what so ever!
Thanks! That seems to be the consensus. It’s now on my to do list next time I bring to the shop. Funny thing is since the video, the ignition has been behaving great
Do you have any suggesting on buying a 308?
You can still get them at fair prices. Just check full service history, any rust and overall condition. Still, a sample with a few issues will be a great project car.
So if you're still monitoring the comments on this video I have a question for you. In the pilot episode of Magnum P.I. & in the original intro video you can find on TH-cam Tom Selleck slides the roof back to remove it but for the life of me I can't figure out where the roof could possibly go. I always felt like this scene must be faked & there's like crew members just taking the roof from him. Can you explain this?
Hi, the roof fits perfectly behind the seats. There is even a vinyl cover for it back there ;)
But in the opening scene of the pilot he slides it straight back as if it's some kind of retractable roof.
100 things I love about it and three things I don’t like 😉. I love how your exhaust tips don’t stick out too far- very classy. That car should only come in one color- RED!! The rear reminds me of a “snake face”. Even the name makes people turn their heads “308”. I don’t like the name 328 in the front in on that reminds me of a Pontiac fiero. I like how it’s temperamental -it’s like a hot girl with different moods. Whom did you buy the car from- Dealer or individual
Right on! I bought it from a collector
@@GarageBuds That explains why yours is so clean I just love looking at the car; driving it would be a bonus
Such a Rad car, love the video! I'd take off those side badges though...
Fair enough!
Check out the Green 308 with gold wheels ,on Mototechnique channel..it's Stonkingly beautiful 😊👍🏻.....you might want that one!🙂😁👍🏻.
Yeah, that car looks incredible
You can adjust the wheel
It’s still my favourite Ferrari.
Really nice example you have there! However, I do think there is a way to adjust your steering column a bit - there should be a bolt under the cover on your steering wheel that will give you some adjustment, so you might check. I watched a channel in the UK, and he adjusted the steering on his 308, but I can't remember which video it was. His TH-cam channel is called Number 27, here is the link: th-cam.com/video/WMDkr0CLN-U/w-d-xo.html (check the playlist on the InfluEnzo) , and here is a link that explains how to make that adjustment - www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/308-steering-wheel-height-adjustment.43694/
Who in NC works on it if you don’t mind me asking? I’m in the market for a 308 and I live in Apex.
Hi, I would call Carolina Exotics in Raleigh. They are opening a service center and have Ferrari techs.
@@GarageBuds Thank you very much. I appreciate all your videos 👍
@@banzairunner7860 I really appreciate your support!
I have a '79 GTS (yellow). Great video, but you need a new license plate, yours is just wrong. Mine says "YLW FVR"...
No F1 exhaust note? The Ferrari 348 is the single Biggest Bang for the Buck in Ferrari and exotic sports cars. Wait till you have an electrical gremlin with the 296. In Ferrari sports cars. Jeremy Clarkson declared the 355 “the greatest car in the world, ever.” But Less is More with the completely analog 348 as it doesn’t have the brass valve guide and/or electronic suspension issues the 355 has. Older is Easier as the 348 is the best “purely analog” Ferrari ever made according to Hoovies Garage, the Smoking Tire, Jay Emm, etc as the 348 comes without modern day features that actually detract from the experience of driving a Ferrari. Why drive a “fast” car “slow” when you can drive a slower car fast? Lastly, the 348’s 8,500 rpm flat plane crank shaft generates an Formula 1 exhaust note as F1 cars also use flat plane cranks to lower their center of gravity.
The supplier www.auto-leds.co.uk is in the UK but he would probably supply worldwide. Contact Craig Rowlands at info@auto-leds.co.uk. There are two sizes you need T5 5050 SMD LED and Ba9s 5 x 5050 SMD LED in various colours to match the indicator. The T5 are small to fit ignition light fan etc, these need a small modification to stop them shorting out in the bulb holder. Cut a small slot where the wire leaves the base and pull the wire into the slot, the original bulbs had a blob at the bottom to stop the wire shorting. The Ba9s are large with multiple LEDs to fit in the instruments (some may not fully seat but don't worry they still work). If you want pictures email me on redlen308gtb@gmail.com.
Thanks man!
still hate the red piping on the seats
Change bompers please
Im saving for that car right now. Luckily I live in the EU cause those US bumpers are ugly af
Thinking of opening an instagram account just for the bumpers, they get more attention than anything else on my channel :)))))
LOL, the mirror really are awful. Didn't expect that to be on the list, but it surely needs to be.
The wheels don't fit with the car, I have a 328 and there is no straight line on the car, while the wheels have the straight line, 'ground hog day', 5 spoke design. Plus, the gun metal gray doesn't fit in with any of the colors and just emphasizes the bad wheel design.
I've got a 1972 tractor that will fire on the first revolution. ...that car needs attention.
Cool story
@@MichaelBrown-pg5dy Just a fact, man. Fuel, Igntion, Compression are all that's required. It's not black magic. One of the three is wrong for you. ...probably fuel.
Definitely needs attention or a restomod with standalone ECU doing proper electronic injection as well as ignition
The Scuderia Shields don't belong on that car and detracts from the lines in my opinion.
there are a few things that are not purist, like the interior, but the car is beautiful.
Dislike, parts No Longer Available, NLA. I've always loved the 308!
Nice car..but I'd rather have a 355 spyder !!!! 👍🇮🇹😎
Love that car too 😉
Very good video, but in the future you should really remove your sunglasses, at least when looking into the camera. I know it was sunny that day but I don't trust someone who's eyes I can't see.
Thanks for the tip
