Here it is, the supercar that made Tom Selleck's swarthy moustache available to the world. Few exotics can compete with the magic of Ferrari to stir the souls of automotive fans around the world. For those of you hoping to gain entry to this highly exclusive club, or just have Magnum P.I. fantasies like me, we're proud to offer this beautiful 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi – a first-class ticket with great service records and an impeccable history. With a long term owner, a freshened paint job, and several major services completed, this is one of the few vintage Ferarris you can actually buy and drive straight away. Plus, it's in such great shape you can show it at just about any show and get plenty of attention.
Repainted in its original shade of Rosso Corsa, this Ferrari is pretty much always the biggest head-turner out on the road. With an angular body that defined '80s supercars, the 308 GTS was the Ferrari for the man who didn't want to compromise practicality for performance. Of course, any vintage Ferrari is a stunning performer, with thrilling sounds and a character that no other manufacturer has ever been able to duplicate. The refinish is about five years ago, so it shows some signs of use here and there, but a buff and polish would surely bring the paint back up a notch, although it still shows really nicely in person as a top-end driver. Regardless, It was never repainted to then be encased in some museum, so the purists will quickly find an issue or two to complain about it anyway, but with so few miles and the careful doting of its owner, this 308 look way better than most of its contemporaries. All of Bertone's original folds and creases remain intact and other details like the rubber, grilles, and plastic lenses are similarly well preserved, and of note, this car still wears all of its correct badges. So, while EVERYONE will recognize you in this car, the experts will recognize that it's an exceptionally nice 308 GTSi. All the black rubber bits are decently preserved originals too, with no signs of major UV damage or fading like you see on all the Ferraris from Miami. The only variation from stock is a tautly stretched, carbon-fiber style wrap on the targa top and rear spoiler, along with the blacked-out wheels, but we have to admit those slight changes makes this 'Rari look a lot more sinister.
Inside, the gorgeous tan leather interior is exactly what you'd expect from your Ferrari: Deeply sculpted bucket seats, that iconic chrome gated shifter that clangs through the gears like a bolt-action rifle, and that purring V8 just behind your shoulder blades. It remains in exceptional condition today, with only very minor signs of use and age. The leather is supple, the dashboard hasn't faded or cracked, and the carpets show very little wear considering that this car has always been enjoyed. The woodrimmed Momo Veloce steering wheel connects you to the road in a way that you probably haven't experienced before, and you'll never get tired of watching the traditional black and white gauges do their dance as the engine sings its song. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD head unit was neatly installed and provides all the entertainment you'll ever need (as if that motor isn't enough), and the center console was upgraded with carbon-fiber trim on the bezel. Options include power windows and power locks, along with factory air conditioning (however the compressor looks to need a service), and if open air cruising is your thing, the targa top pops off with ease and transforms the profile of this beautiful 308.
Ferrari's lovely 2.9 liter V8 might seem a bit diminutive, until you fire it up. In 1981, the GTSi was the top version if you're looking at 308s (although some may argue in favor of the lower production fiberglass GTB, I'll take the steel body and wet sump engine of the GTSi 10 times out of 10), and it really is the only one to consider of the pre-Quattrovalvole 308s. The small "i" stands for fuel-injection, specifically the Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical system that was introduced a year prior and decreased the car's emissions. It also drops power slightly to 214bhp, but it's still a high-revving, deep-breathing powerplant from the company with more Formula 1 wins than just about anyone else. Performance is breathtaking, but more than that, it's the overall balance of the car, which is agile without feeling skittish and somehow comfortable without being soft. And with plenty of maintenance completed throughout the years, including a recent belt job, brake system upgrade, a rebuilt water pump, an updated fuse box, and updated cooling fans it's a motor that's ready to dominate for decades to come. It will carve canyons, yet happily cruise down the highway, and thanks to the 5-speed's tall top gear, it actually pulls down decent gas mileage if you can keep your foot out of it. Finishing the look, upgraded 5-spoke Ferrari black alloys are in great condition and wear 205/55/16 front and 225/50/16 rear Continental performance radials all-around.
Documented with its original owner's manuals, maintenance records, and car cover, this is the best version of arguably the most iconic Ferrari ever built, and it turns out that it's an awesome road car, too. Call now!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
