Black Ferrari Testarossa and 308 QV

A man called me one year ago asking for help locating and purchasing a nice Ferrari 308 GTS. He told me that a friend of a friend told him about us, the power of word of mouth exposure!

We spoke for some time and decided that the best series 308 for him was the later Quattrovalvole. I did not have any in stock so I called a good friend Peter Sweeney who at the time had one but a second one coming in one week.

I called the buyer and told him that in one week we would meet at Peter Sweeney’s and see the two 308’s, one red with a black interior and one red/tan. Both cars were well serviced and ready to go but the tan car was just a tiny percentage point nicer. We both really liked the slightly modified lowered Penske coil over shocks and the Stainless Steel exhaust.

I transported the car to the owners home and he called me nearly every day expressing his appreciation for helping him find the car and for how much he enjoys the car. The man was very sick from liver failure and was at the point of his life that he wanted to live his dream.

Not long after buying the Ferrari 308, he wanted another car. He did not know what to buy so naturally I was the first person he called to help spend his money. We decided that for the amount he wanted to spend a Ferrari Testarossa showcases serious performance for the dollar and I just happened to have a sinister looking black car coming in.

With his illness progressing rapidly, the buyer wanted to get the car as soon as possible and had a chance to drive the car 1000 miles before he passed away in early October. He was enthusiastic and enjoyed every experience of car ownership, the pursuit, driving, servicing, cleaning, and preserving by replacing minor worn parts such as the hood release levers that had cracks in the housings.

The black 1986 Ferrari Testarossa is for sale fully serviced two years ago and needs nothing.
The Red 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS QV is for sale with a super responsive suspension, nice interior and having a recent belt service.
