The Ferrari 308, introduced in 1975 at the Paris Motor Show, was a pivotal model for Maranello, taking over from the Dino 246 and cementing Ferrari's commitment to mid-engined V8 sports cars. Penned by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, its instantly iconic wedge-shaped profile with dramatic flying buttresses and deeply sculpted air intakes became synonymous with 1980s automotive style, famously gracing the small screen in "Magnum P.I." The GTBi variant, introduced in 1980, marked a significant technological leap, ditching the earlier carbureted setup for Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, denoted by the 'i' for *iniezione*. This transition, while initially reducing horsepower slightly to meet stricter emissions standards, improved drivability and reliability, paving the way for future Ferrari advancements. This 1980 Ferrari 308 GTBi presents a truly remarkable opportunity as an untouched time capsule. Showing just 23,932 miles on its five-digit odometer, this example spent over 25 years in static storage, preserved by its original owner in a tractor trailer rather than a barn. Clad in a striking Argento Auteuil (Silver) finish with the desirable Satin Black "Boxer" lower body paint, it features a vibrant Rosso (Red) leather interior. Power comes from the fuel-injected 2.9-liter quad-cam V8, paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. This particular GTBi was originally delivered to Foreign Cars Italia in Greensboro, NC, and has remained registered in North Carolina since new, retaining its original Blaupunkt Berlin 8000 stereo, a true rarity. While it has recently emerged from its long slumber and received some initial attention, this low-mileage machine will require further servicing and maintenance to bring it back to full, road-ready glory. This is a chance to acquire a largely original, remarkably preserved fuel-injected 308 GTBi, ready for its next chapter.
