Overview

This 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole offers a quintessential expression of Maranello’s golden-era Berlinetta. Finished in Rosso Corsa over Beige Connolly leather, this final-year example stands as the most refined evolution of the 308 lineage. Signature elements include a gated manual shifter, pop-up headlights, and silver 16-inch alloy wheels—still fitted with original Goodyear NCT VR55 tires, all contributing to its highly authentic, low-mileage presentation. 

Power is delivered by a 2.9-liter quad-cam V8 fed by Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection plus Marelli Digiplex ignition, paired with a 5-speed transaxle and limited-slip differential. Under a removable targa roof panel, the cabin offers a blend of analog engagement and 1980s luxury. Beige Connolly leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped MOMO steering wheel, power windows, air conditioning, and an AM/FM cassette stereo fill out amenities of the era, matched by an integrated Escort radar installed in period.

Originally delivered to Steven Kessler Motor Cars of New York, this example is supported by clean Carfax history showing single state registration from 1993-2025 as well as timing belt major services completed in 2010 and 2020. Service records from current and previous ownership, two key fobs, factory literature, an original window sticker, tool kit/jack, and more accompany the sale. All told, this iconic sportscar boasts time-capsule collector appeal.
