Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Converting a US 308 motor to a Euro 308 motor

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

FG asks “Am I right in noting that this $25-30k engine build would have paid for itself the last few years with the appreciation of the 308 market?”

 

If it were a Dino 246 – sure. 

 

But, for example, a 308 GTS - - ?  Cavallino gave a 2012 range (adj for inflation) of $26 – $52 and the 2014 Cav = $35 – $85.  Hmmmmm.

 

But I’ll bet there are a lot of unmolested 1^st or 2^nd owner 308’s out there coming up on the block that will trump a “rebuilt” 308, especially a Hot Rod.  Remember – we’re selling to a crowd who has NO IDEA who Magnum PI is.  Sheeeesh – he’s not even a Red Ranger even tho he wears those cool Reyn Spooner Hawaiian shirts.

 

But that said – a 308 DOES look like a Ferrari and not some Asian knock off.

 

Onward
