Selling or Buying a 1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi?

1981 Ferrari 308 GTBiThe stunningly gorgeous 1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi was produced from 1980 to 1983 and only 494 units were made including both left and right hand drive. Unlike the first examples of Ferrari 308 GTB, this second version does not run with carburetors. The I in its name stands for fuel injection, which was used as an alternative system to comply with the new US emission regulations. Although this switch from the carbureted models resulted in a loss of power, the 1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi is still a fun classic thanks to the mid-mounted 3 Liter V8 engine, featuring dual overhead camshafts and two valves per cylinder. Inside, the design is refined, sporty and sleek, with its nicely stitched bucket seats. The body design is one of the best features of the 1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi. Signed by Pininfarina, it has something of the Dino 246 that the enthusiasts loved so much. Based on the previous Ferrari 308 GT4 2+2, the GTB is a 2-seater and sits on a chassis with an eight inches shorter wheelbase, making it more agile and efficient on windy roads.

If you’re in the market for a 1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi, you might already know a lot about the model. The Beverly Hills Car Club is always happy to help and share tips about classic cars. For example, it’s important to know that 1980s models can present an oil consumption issue, due to the change from carburetors to fuel injection system. Moreover, the galvanizing of the body shells was only introduced in 1984. Therefore, be sure to check the car for rust thoroughly. Hiring the help of an expert is highly recommended when settling down on a particular example. Each model is very unique from its condition to its history. An expert will be able to assess the value of the classic and make sure you know exactly all the specificities of the vehicle you’re about to purchase. Another particularity of the 1981 Ferrari 308 GTBi is that the wheels use metrics, which narrows the choice of tires.
