The 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS is an example of Italian automotive excellence. The 308 GTS was the successor to the legendary Dino 246 GT and GTS. This Ferrari has been owned by the current owner since 1982, and features two sets of keys available, and has a reported 40,525 miles on the odometer. Additionally, the owner reports that the car has traveled only 1,200 miles since its last major service, making this a turnkey experience for the lucky buyer.
The exterior design of the Ferrari 308 GTS was crafted by the renowned Pininfarina designer Leonardo Fioravanti, who was responsible for multiple legendary Ferrari shapes, such as the Daytona, the Dino, and the Berlinetta Boxer. Ready to turn heads, this 308 GTS is adorned in a striking Rosso Chiaro exterior paint finish, a signature color that pays homage to Ferrari’s racing pedigree. The pop-up headlights will certainly allure car enthusiasts as one of the iconic features in '70s automotive history. The 308 GTS is equipped with a Targa top, with the removable roof panel finished in grained satin black. A vinyl zipper trunk compartment cover has been newly installed, and the hand-polished OEM magnesium wheels have been fitted with Michelin tires. The two-seater cabin is trimmed in rich tan leather upholstery, with an array of gauges and levers reminiscent of an old-school fighter cockpit.
This classic 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS is powered by a spirited 2.9-liter V8 engine that is paired with a manual transmission. Generating a power output of 237 bhp, this classic Italian supercar is “perfetto” for a thrilling cruise along scenic roads. The engine has undergone a comprehensive amount of maintenance and upgrades, including the replacement of critical components such as shock bushings, timing belts, tensioners, A/C belt, and the water pump belt. The current owner has also treated this Ferrari with new coolant, an oil change, and a filter while also having the carburetors cleaned and tuned for the best fuel delivery. This Ferrari 308 GTS has undergone a few more notable upgrades, including a new spark plug set, a new K&N air filter, a new fuel filler neck, hoses, and an apron.

This Ferrari has been owned by the current owner since 1982, and features two sets of keys available, and has a reported 40,525 miles on the odometer. Additionally, the owner reports that the car has traveled only 1,200 miles since its last major service, making this a turnkey experience for the lucky buyer.
The Ferrari 308 GTS, produced by the charismatic Italian automaker Ferrari from 1975 to 1985, is a beloved sports car that has aged gracefully like fine wine and remains in high demand. This popularity was further propelled by its prominent role in the hit detective series, Magnum P.I. If you aspire to experience the thrill of channeling your inner Thomas Magnum and relive the moments when Tom Selleck took the wheel in character, this 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole is the perfect choice for you. This stunning vehicle, with just 35,000 miles on the odometer, was manufactured in September 1984 and comes complete with the original tool kit, owner's manual, spare tire, and a set of two keys. Owning this classic Ferrari will undoubtedly transport you back in time to an era of elegance, style, and pure driving pleasure.
There’s no argument for the fact that when someone sees the prancing horse logo on a car, it is guaranteed to excite them. From the smooth lines to the heart-revving engine, Ferrari has made a statement to the world since it was founded in 1939 by Enzo Ferrari. This Italian luxury sports car manufacturer has produced some of the most desirable cars on the planet. One of these is the Ferrari 308 GTB or GTS, a V8 mid-engined two-seater sports car produced from 1976 to 1985 and made famous by the 1980s hit TV show “Magnum PI.” A rare chance to own a 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole is at hand with this prime example which has no more than 22,013 miles on the odometer.
All Ferrari's are special. But some have more of a groundbreaking inauguration than others. Take our 2024 Ferrari 296 GTB for example. It features decades of Italian supercar passion, all channeled into one compelling package. The 296 features a twin-turbo V6 engine paired with an electric motor, just like the company’s legendary Formula 1 cars. From factory, the combined output is rated to be 818 hp. All this considered, this is one insane package that’s cemented itself at the top of the supercar category by being the fastest production Ferrari around the Nürburgring, breaking the 7-minute barrier with a time of 6:58.7, making it yet again an all-time great from the factory in Maranello. Picking up our featured car will grant you instant access to a coveted model from the prancing horse, all without having to wait in line to get your hands on one.

Packing a mere 9,861 miles on the clock, this car comes with some neat carbon fiber elements and over $10,000 in other additional options. The 488 was introduced in 2015 and made for just four years.

Among those who enjoy driving about in good-looking cars, there is a small group who prefer the look of a mundane car with a classic historic flare. If that is your cup of tea, this 1993 Cadillac Allante is an excellent choice for you. While it blends well with day-to-day traffic, it boasts a stately personality. After all, it is a Cadillac. It was marketed as a two-seater luxury roadster, so it looks even classy with its top down. The Allante model saw a seven-year production run and the bodies were built in Italy by iconic coachbuilder Pininfarina. Our subject example only has 65,000 miles on its clock and is currently residing in Florida. Its owner claims that it comes with 3 keys and all the service is up to date.
If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
