Beginning in the early ‘70s with the original Dino, a mid-engine, lightweight sports car, has been an iconic model for Ferrari for over 50 years.

First unveiled to the world in 1975, the 308 was a revolutionary model that brought the mid-engine layout to the forefront of brand's lineup. With inspiration clearly pulled from its Dino predecessor, the 308 received a massive power upgrade to a 3.0L naturally aspirated V8—opposed to the Dino’s V6. Offered in both North American and European markets, the 308's design made it an instant classic, with its sleek Pininfarina bodywork appearing on screen in Magnum PI, National Lampoons Vacation, Billy Madison, Beverly Hills Cop and more.

Photographed here, our 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS is a true survivor and has gone only 5,819 miles since being delivered new in December of 1978 from Algar Ferrari in Pennsylvania to Lima, Ohio. The car lived between Ohio and Nashville, TN until being purchased from the long-term owner’s estate in 2022 by renowned South Florida Ferrari specialist, Azael Motorsports. Upon arrival to Azael, a complete mechanical overhaul was set in motion to wake up this incredible time capsule. If resprayed, it was done many years ago, as the Rosso Corsa finish is still single stage and the interior has been left untouched—with the exception of a period EQ from what looks like the ‘80s. Accompanied by its original books, tools, mechanics light and records verifying the mileage, this incredible Italian legend is a sight to see.
