Looking for a cheap Ferrari

I would like to find an inexpensive 308 GT4. I don't want any rust issues but about any other mechaincal and cosmetic issues are acceptable. I think I would prefer the carburated cars.

I'd like to do it all again, but I realize the gt4s are largely unloved, but ten years ago the pf coupes were too. :wink:

Say, I'm looking for an entry-level Ferrari too, and the Bertone is the most obvious choice.

Any condition would be OK.

And I would go so far as to re-install the original Dino badge...

That is too far away for me. East of Rockies is probably my area to consider cars from.

Out of 656 registered members there must be plenty of people looking for *cheap* Ferraris.

What I am looking for is a *cheap* fixer-upper in the SF Bay area - although a flood or fire car might be a bit too much to handle...

I tried to check out the one in the bay area. The ad states it is in Highland Park, 30 minutes from me, but a bay area phone number. I sent the guy 3 emails for info, and he responded with none of the info I requested. He finally gave his phone number which he also never answered after 3 more calls. Also note the ad says vitrually nothing about his cars condition, but has almost 5 paragraphs of history lesson about these cars quoted from Wikepedia. Additionally he advertises the car as a 1975 model with a factory sunroof. GT4 Bertone bodied 308s didn't have factory sunroofs until 1977. The lousy pic he supplies makes it difficult to make out, but it appears to be a non factory pop-up glass sunroof. But it's hard to tell for sure. It would be a shame if someone sawed a hole in the roof of this car for that purpose. I finally passed on the car as I got tired of the guy jacking me around, being unresponsive and being evasive. Just my .02 experience with this seller.
