Christie Brinkleys Las Vegas Vacation Ferrari 308

In 1990 I was offered the 1980 Ferrari 308 GTSi Christy drove in las Vegas Vacation. At the time it was only priced about $10K more than a nonmovie car. I passed as even though it was a famous car with a HOT famous driver. I wanted something other than red, and the 1980 308 was the first of the fuel injection cars with and a considerable drop in horsepower from the 1979 4 weber carb model. I dont regret passing on it. My 1/1 collection is too small to have a car I dont like just because of its history or potential future value.

The car us still around, found in Europe recently in poor condition.

Nowadays, 308s and 328s can be gotten for a very reasonable 50 grand and up.

Depends on the specifics of the car, but they can be had for less than a new C8.

I've been debating between one and an early 2000s Aston Martin DB9 or 1990s Vantage which can also be hard in that price range or even cheaper (a nice Vantage can be had in the low 40s).

Steve if you head into LA and at the right address you will find a woman who will help you out.

To the contrary, I hear she is devastated.

I never realized how beautiful Julila Roberts is until I saw this movie. Either that or the producer used a double and a great make-up artist. One of my favorite movies.

Their is no substitute for youth. She was only 22 or 23 when she appeared in "Pretty Woman."
