Selling or Buying a 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB?

The great Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro described the Ferrari 308 GTB as “the most perfect car I’ve ever seen”. Featuring curvaceous lines with close attention to detail, the overall shape of the 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB was definitely a masterpiece. Powered by a transverse normally aspirated 3 Liter V8, the Ferrari 308 GTB could deliver a power of 255 hp and the car would achieve a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 6.5 seconds. That is plenty of power and torque linked to a smooth gearbox, on top of a light chassis, which resulted in an incredibly satisfying driving experience. The 1978 Ferrari 308 GTB provided wonderful handling, and was overall a very agile and well-balanced vehicle. The cabin was very habitable and well equipped, with comfortable seats, good visibility, and easy access. In addition to the boot located behind the engine, the practicality of this model is rather good compared with other mid-engined sports cars.
