gary! - 30 Mar 2004 06:10 GMT hi all
deep regret, but selling my '80 308 gtsi for new house. all records back to window sticker. added factory 288 gto mirrors (steel, folding) for better viewing at $1600 for the pair, a few top line stereo amps/woofer/tweeters. will be smogged for california in april (easily passes). pulls to side upon braking, extra holes where factory mirror were. no rust. has not been repainted since factory and shows hairline lacquer checking. no accidents that i know of. i think about 78k miles now. 75k miles service complete and recent tune, fluids changed, etc last month. red with tan, gtsi = convertible top as you know. $22,500.00 obo.cash please. i think fairly decent price to move this along rather quickly as i'm facing escrow. southern california, san diego area. (where housing prices are absolutely insane!).

Don't be so sure on that.... sadlly prices are falling away again. Apart from the odd very low mileage car (there was one for sale at Graypaul with 79 miles on it a few weeks ago) 328s are firmly at the bottom of the ?30-?35K range now.

And, intending no offence to Gary!: A US spec. 1980 GTS was never the Ferrari the legend was made of; easily handled by a healthy Integra on any day. Add: Needs calipers and paint; 78k miles simply can't look well on the furniture...

Imagine that. You didn't want to blow any Integras away when you bought your Ferrari? What kind of man are you?

Rule #1 when dealing with me... always assume sarcasm. It just saves time.

Still mad at me for being a Republican? Phil
TigerRace1 - 05 Apr 2004 22:32 GMT <<Still mad at me for being a Republican?>>
That would be prejudiced of me. I'm mad at you for being an extreme, right wing Republican, but you can still take me for a ride in your Ferrari when I come to the City in September.

Well, I'm not that all extreme, but I think you would agree that if you aren't passionate about your beliefs, what's the point.
Can't wait to take you for that ride, Phil

Looking forward to it myself!

My beliefs are rong? I have simple beliefs - which ones are wrong?
- Defend thyself, family and friends, and nation - Belief in my God, and respect everyone elses - Capitalism - Besides sex, there are few things better, than a sunny Saturday afternoon, a few cold beers, and waxing one's Ferrari - White collar criminals should be given equal airtime on COPS, chased down, tacked and beat up, the same way crack dealers are - If it's ok to ship US jobs to India, the US public should be able to buy cheap prescription drugs from Canada - BMWs are great cars, Porsches are overpriced BMWs, and anything from the pacific rim is a knock-off no better than the fake Coach pocket-books the guy downstairs is selling on the sidewalk - Steve McQueen was the coolest, and I miss him

I seriously need to introduce you to my dad. You could single-handedly change his view of my *freaky online friends*. The gods know that EuroPaul ain't gonna do it. Are you coming to the Lime Rock race this year?

Oh, I think you rather define *Freaky Online Friend*! My Crew Chief knows all about you and thinks that as long as we keep you away from sharp objects, you're fine. <g>

*I* don't know all about me. This sounds dangerous.

If you were an American, you'd be a liberal Democrat. The only thing dad's gonna like about you is your car.

Gretchen's not his daughter. He wouldn't mind. <g>

Dad's getting old and his memory isn't what it used to be. He needs to be reintroduced to people he hasn't seen in decades.
