I just happened to notice your post regarding your serial number and the thought that your car was number 384 of the series. Keep in mind that Ferrari didn't number sequentially. The road cars typically were given odd numbers only. Second, they also were building Boxers and 400's or something during that time and the VINs applied to those as well. For example I once saw a Boxer that had a VIN that was amazingly close to the VIN on my 308. I thought that was kind of cool, but it didn't mean a whole lot else other than you probably wouldn't ever be able to determine what number in production your 308 was. The interest in serial numbers is probably more relevant to the really early cars. Part of this is to determine provenance etc. And part is because it is interesting. However, the serial numbers really aren't going to affect the value of a 308 unless the serial number is your birthday or some lucky number or something. Otherwise you are just looking at whether or not you have a nice 308 to determine its value. | ||

Jack..You are correct, it was the 308 GTB that was Glass-Fibre...So it looks like in the bigh picture of the 12,149 308's ever manufactured, mine is one of the first! | ||

Peter, the GTS was never made in Fiberglass. I am not sure if the Euro models were made first and then the US models. Best, Jack | ||

In evaluating the manufacturing data again, would I be correct that my car is the 384th steel car made? | ||

Don, Jack....From 1975 to 1977, the chasis numbers were from 22619 to 34501 ( I just now looked this up ). If I am correct, this car was number 384 of all 308 GTS's manufactured between 1997 through 1980. What I do not know is this: Did Ferrari manufacture the Euro's first and then the US models in 1977? Does all of this information make the value higher? | ||

>>>Did Enzo drive it as his personal car for a year?.. Hahahaha! Would be nice huh? ;-) I ran a quick check on it and the car was advertised in December 1982 as being a 1978 but I would agree that it is a 1977 (based on the S/N). It is just so that there are not that many cars known that are THIS early and that makes it special. Maybe Don has more detailed information on it. Jack | ||

Jack, Don...I understand its an early GTS being a 1977. Anything else that is special about this particular car? A far as I am concerned, I was looking for an early model carb'd 308. I found this one and bought it. I would be extremely interested to know if there is anything special about this chasis number....Did Enzo drive it as his personal car for a year?.. | ||

Peter, You have a 77 dry sump? What's your chassis number? Matt | ||

A dry sump is supposed to ne worth 3-5K extra. I think a US car with all that work, but 60K on it would go for 22-25K. So add on the dry sump value to that. Really depends on how the motor checks out compression and leakdown wise. Dave | ||

You should be able to get $30K at least if its clean, runs good and is well sorted. I'll give you $20K for it all day long! | ||

I am a couple of weeks away from having my '77 Euro 308 on the road. In total work, the engine has had an extensive 30K mile service inclusive of all seals and bearings with a full carb rebuild. The gearbox will be rebuilt, new sync's, 4th&5th gear replacement. The seats and door panels will also be redone with new floor mats. The engine has 60K miles and the paint is about a '7' ( 1-10 ). It will also have a custom tuned exhaust that is new. Just doing a sanity check on the average street value that this car could bring. Any thoughts? |
