Hi you are looking at a very nice well maintained 1978 Ferrari 308 Targa, This is a carburetor engine car that starts, runs well and sounds excellent! This Ferrari has been meticulously maintained thru out its current owners life and is a real joy to drive on nice days and a definite HEAD TURNER on the road! The Ferrari had the expensive timing belt changed approximately 12 k ago. Overall I would say that this is a VERY NICE well taken care of driver as the paint still looks nice and shinny with only a few very small spots around the out side of the car needing a very little attention. The engine bay looks clean as does the trunk area. The interior is also in very good condition with no rips or tears in the leather seats also the surrounding leather and carpet has a fresh look to it for its age. There is a custom built in schumacker battery maintainer up front to keep the battery fresh and power up while in winter storage. It looks like the jack assy, Ferrari books and spare tire are all there and in there proper place. The last 5 years this car been owned by a dedicated Ferrari enthusiast that only drove the car on evenings out in excellent weather!
THIS FERRARI IS PRICED TO SELL !
The opening bid on this car is well under the actual value and will be sold to the highest bidder!
SORRY NO FOREIGN BIDDERS.
Thank you,
Have a very nice day.

Watch Chris Harris drive the Ferrari 458 Spider like an "idiot"
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Chris Harris gets to abuse his fair share of cars that we can only dream about driving, so why not add the Ferrari 458 Spider to that list. After somehow borrowing the keys to a Ferrari-owned 458 Spider, Harris spends about five minutes driving the 570-horsepower, open-air supercar like an "idiot" (his words, not ours).
In reality, it's impressive to watch the $257,000 (base price) 458 Spider being drifted and pushed hard into every turn. Not surprisingly, the car handles the "bad behavior" very well, but what is amazing is how easy it is for Harris to talk to the camera despite the top being down and the engine being at full throttle almost the entire time.
If you like watching Ferraris get sideways, you will most certainly enjoy Harris' video, which is posted below.
Ferrari 458 Speciale speeds toward Frankfurt
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When the doors open at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a few weeks, there'll be loads of new cars and new versions of existing ones. And as far as the latter category goes at least, this will undoubtedly be what show-goers will look forward to most.
What we have here is the Ferrari 458 Speciale - the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia, and the hard-core version of the 458 Italia. It was expected to carry the name Monte Carlo, but then Ferrari has never been fond of letting the press dictate what it would call its cars. But forget the nameplate: what really matters is what it's got to offer.
For starters, the award-winning, high-revving 4.5-liter V8 has been retuned to deliver 605 cv (596 hp by our standards), up from 562 hp in the standard 458, while torque remains the same at 398 lb-ft. But the other side of the power-to-weight ratio (quoted at 2.13 kg/cv) is the extra mass Ferrari has cut out of the equation: the 458 Speciale's dry weight is quoted at 1,290 kg (2,844 lbs), representing a significant drop from the 458 Italia's 1,485 kg (3,274 lb) curb weight.
Ferrari embroiled in legal battle over 21-year-old's Facebook page
Fri, 28 Mar 2014Ferrari is facing a court battle in Switzerland due to alleged copyright infringement over taking over a Facebook fan site. If the suit is successful, it could cost the company millions and harm its reputation on social media.
Sammy Wassem started the Facebook fan page for Ferrari when he was 15 and eventually grew it to over 500,000 followers. In 2009, the company congratulated the him on the site's success, but said that "legal issues" forced it to take over the administration, according to Automotive News Europe. Wassem could still use the site, but managers had oversight.
Wassem asked Ferrari for financial compensation to keep working on the page but continued creating content on it for the next four years. Eventually, the company terminated his administration rights, and In 2013, the he and his father Olivier filed the lawsuit against the business alleging it owes payment over 5,500 hours of work and copyright infringement for taking over the page. They are asking for 10 million Swiss francs ($11.3 million).
