Is there any way to prove what color your 308 came with?

I mean other than a sticker that denots the colors
Does ferrari even know what our cars left the factory with?

exterior paint and interior one big thing is Id like to know the official names of m cars colors and I am missing the color sticker on my rear bonnet

Yes, you can request a "Heritage Certificate" from Ferrari. You can do this thru www.ferrariowners.com It will tell you what color your car left the factory...

I found the links and It has been submited.

Thanks guys

 

If you require additional information contact Ferrari's US representative at the Classiche Department, in NJ. The Heritage Certificate will give you the basic exterior/interior colors. But I have a unusual interior color combination: the dashboard (door pulls, map pockets) are pelle rosso 3171 (red) and my interior is crema 3997. They were able to confirm for me that the car was built with a dashboard in pelle rosso, via email. I asked for written documentation, which they gladly provided for a fee. The documentation lists the car model and vin #, and under original specifications it lists the exterior color, interior color, dashboard color, carpet color, name of dealer it was delievered to and the month and year it was delivered to the dealer.

Best regards,
Dino

 

I went to the garage and then to contact and sent a e-mail and requested the info that I wanted, is that how I was to do that

 

Ok got mine today!

Blu Sebring503/c blue met and Pelle 3218 beige interior

 

could you walk some of us through as to how you got the link to obtain the certificate? I've tried a few times at that site and always come up empty. It does not seem very intuitive


Thanks.

 

1) Log into the ferrari owners site
2) on the top LH side of the opening page you'll see a link for cars, Move your mouse over it scroll down to classiche click on it.
3) Now your on the Classiche page, Look at list of options on RH side, Click on Historic archive
4) You are now at the Historic archives page Look at RH of screen and click on car colours, This is where you must type in your info and submit it to Ferrari.

Enter your Model number, car number and engine number,

The Engine number is located on the top of the engine block, RH side of the engine at the base of the rear cylinder head might have to clean it off a bit but it is there.

The car number is the last few digits of your vin not the complete vin.
and I entered all of the numbers from the engine.

Enjoy!


Oh and you will recive a email from ferrari saying that the ert is ready, Go back to the classiche page click on the historic archives again then click on downloaded documents and there will be your color cert!

 

Hey Phrogs,

How about some pics of the car?? Is it still blue?

JIM

 

I found it Johnny, thanks! I'm waiting for the email response now. Great stuff!!

 

Now, the next step is where does one get a new (replacement) decal sticker with the correct paint number to place under the rear hood?

 

So far this is the only place I've found: http://www.italiancarparts.com/labels_plates/ferrari_labels_plates.htm.

But, they only have the basic stuff. I've been trying to find someone who has (or can make) a 101/C for me. Anyone know who actually makes and prints these stickers?!

 

haha Its still blue! But its apart!

DAMN, I love BLUE Ferraris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JIM

 

Thanks for the link. Does anyone know the meaning of the number after the red 300/(#?) Some are a "6" some are a "9" but so far mine (in records) appears to have no number after the 300. My car is missing the original decal. I want to order the correct one if possible. I'll see what the Heritage Certificate comes up with.

 

Here is the response I got today about getting a Heritage Certificate. Looks like I'll have to do something else (???)

OK, that's new. I got my Color Certificate last month and my car is an 84. The old Heritage Certificates were like that but I assumed they changed the policy with the new website. Bummer they are back to their old tricks.

 

Wow, odd that they changed their policy again.

Try contacting the Classiche rep in the US at (Lucy Petrone) her email is [email protected] . She might be able to help or at least look up the information you are seeking.

Best regards,
Dino

 

Thanks Dino. I just sent her an email so we'll see what happens next.

 

thats some BS I just did mine the day before you asked and Its a 1982 308, the gent who posted his shows it to be a 328 dont remember to many of them comming with carbs!

 

Maybe I should try again in a week?

 

I got the same email a few months ago when I asked for info about my 1982 Mondial.
Seems they change the rules like the wind blows. Sounds very italian

Gonne try it again next week.
