1981 Ferrari 308 GTB For Sale

I came across a classic European sports car for sale on Craigslist about a month ago. The car is a 1981 Ferrari with the license plate number 308 GTB. It is a dream car for speed enthusiasts and quite rare in the US. The Italian manufacturer Ferrari released it in 1981, and it is the successor of the Dino 246 GT/GTS. This 2-seater sports car has a V8 mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive layout designed by Pininfarina.

This 41-year-old car has only been driven 39800 miles since new, making it a remarkable example of the 308 GTB available on the market today. If you're looking for a chance to own one of the European dream cars, this is your opportunity to add it to your garage.

It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and can go from 0 to 100 mph in just 15 seconds, with a top speed of 159 mph.
