1978 Ferrari 308 GTS " Fly Yellow " 33,850 Miles " $57,500
Chassis No. 24135
Build Date: April 1978
Mileage: 33,850
Ownership: 46 Years (Since 1979)
This is a rare and remarkable opportunity to acquire an exceptionally original, unrestored 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS in iconic Fly Yellow. With just 33,850 miles and a single long-term owner since 1979, this GTS exemplifies the charm and character of a classic Ferrari that has been driven, loved, and preserved-not over-restored.
This example retains its original paint with the sole exception of the front fender (and required blending into other panels), which was repaired and repainted by the owner in 1979 after sustaining light cosmetic damage. The front bumper corner still shows minor damage from the same incident, untouched as a testament to its authenticity. Otherwise, the paint is factory original, showing age-appropriate patina including checking and localized bubbling on some panels, as documented in photos.
The interior remains completely original, reflecting the careful stewardship and light seasonal use this car has seen-averaging just over 700 miles annually, never stored long-term. Mechanically, the car has always been maintained by the owner himself, with no outside shop or dealer involvement. Notably, the engine has never been disassembled for internal timing belt service or valve work. According to our seller, it is currently in sound running condition with no known issues.
This 308 GTS is a true preservation-class candidate or a perfect starting point for light refurbishment, depending on the next caretaker's vision. It offers a compelling blend of originality, honest condition, and a full ownership history that spans over four decades.
