I think a 308GTS register is a good idea, and better yet a register by model number.
My GTS is a 1979 Carb'ed Sera Metallico (very dark metallic blue) with Crema interior, S/N 28119.
Different topic:
Stephen, I really like the look of your GTS, probably because it looks similar to mine. I particularly like the stock wheels with painted body color insets, which I have also done to mine. I rarely see this. Other departures I have taken from original are body colored removable top, radiator louvers and front window frame, instead of black. Also added is an added engine lid wing-spoiler that is body colored. The GTB in my profile is similar to my GTS.
I think that eliminating the black accents by painting them with body color gives the car not only a GTB look which I prefer, but gives it a sleeker homogeneous appearance. A black car naturally achieves this. Sort of like black being the best color for a 365GTC/4. My next mod is to replace the side window louvers with GTB louvers.
Why didn't I just get a GTB? The sun shines 350 days a year in San Diego!
Opinions?
Since this belongs on a separate thread, I will re-post it. |

I'm here in Encino. Don't own an F-car... yet. If we get together, can I bring my P-car? I promise I'll stay in the back of the pack.

Matt,
The car is at a friend's shop that's also in Torrance. I've mentioned it in posts every now and then, but a quick recap... we (my dad) bought the car suffering from accident damage. Mainly front end, but the sides got bumped around too. No engine problems.
She's almost totally recovered and healthy, but I'm estimating about a month or so left. The body shop has truly done an awsome job, and get this the guy working on it is named Enzo! I was very amused.
We got it thinking we'd have a F355 at a discount, but honestly it might have been cheaper buying a healthy one, seriously!
But it has been a fun project--a very interesting and educational process, and in a way it kinda feels nice to know that we saved a precious life.
Also, I thought Blackhorse Motors was more of a service place than a body shop. We looked into taking it to Premier in Culver City, but decided against it because we'd be more involved and have more control, etc, with the car at the friend's shop. |

Gentlemen - January 18 is not a great day - Barrett Jackson auction that weekend. That might be a nice venue - everyone drive to Scottsdale for the Barrett-Jackson show. If you have not been - it is worth the visit.
