All US cars, Tex...? Thanks... Tell your attorney to stick to what he knows - and that you'll stick what you know (having fun!). This [19271] is a Boxer, no...? Clearing things up, one car at a time... Thank you, Peter...!
It's a Boxer....the Factory tried to buy it back (for the museum)........and I found it, dusty, in a warehouse, at NASA.......under a tarp......for sale.
Sorry you took offense when none was meant but wrong information in the public domain needs to be corrected for the good of all.
No problem, You sure have a nice ass and legs, but kinda of flat on the top. HAHA I hope to out your way in the next couple of years, I'll stop in to see you. Kelly
No problem. I think we have all had an ex like that. Q. If a man is alone and speaks in the woods, is he still wrong?
Why are you being such an ass about this? The guy at the dealer gave you the wrong information, its a FACT. Are you so obstinate about this you would rather be wrong and perpetuate a falsehood? All anyone is trying to do here is learn the truth, or as much of the truth as we can find. Brian has been nothing but decent here as far as I can see, simply trying to provide facts. You may not like the truth, but dont shoot the piano player for a song he didnt write. And if Ferrari built more than 29 of something, no amount of anger or jumping up and down is going to change it. It is what it is.
Nathan Beehl has confirmed it's historical importance, I just thought you'd like to chew on it awhile..... I couldn't get financing (no suprise there! LOL!) and it's still there last time I checked......
Hi Kelly! Hi Brian! Paul, Kelly is a great guy, just easily excitable.....LOL! His sarcasm is being lost in the text.......you'd just have to know him to see it. Here's the bar..... Image Unavailable, Please Login
No, the Euro market had carbed cars thru 1980, dry sump, single distributor NON CAT also......as the market lagged behind North American smog standards. IIRC....... I would have assumed that was the reason, for the four values, for the 1980 production in that first screen shot.
Actually Carbon, the only one I cannot document history on, is my late 1976 production #20405.....I have history on it from 1981 forward to present. But original sales location and info would be great. In between 1977 and 1981 it was wrecked, burned and was color changed, to the current red/black........it's very nice now though...LOLOLOL! It has to be one of the very early steel North American cars.....I'll pull mine apart and get some assembly numbers.... I'm third owner of 22641, a Ron Tonkin car 22127 was sold new into Canada but our own Vern Cornell owned it quite a long time... Small world with these cars, no?
we should buy it as a f chat barn find survival story. and fix her up....... and drive the piss out of her ...... and keep you out of trouble .....
Tex, I would love to know what history you have on any of these cars. Of the three, which ones do you still own...?
Dave, I know you have my car #31311 in your registry. As such to the origianl poster..... 1980 started with #31309 so.......where/when did Ferrari go back to carb's??? Right after they built my car, the second GTSi for 1980...do I have a prototype that I don't know about? Also, in case people missed it #31327, a GTBi (the first) was recently on e-bay.
They didn't ' go back' to carbs. The carb'd and the injected 2-valve 308 variants have been built side by side for a certain period. That's why there are overlapping serial numbers. 34503 is regarded to be the last s/n for a carb'd 308 GTB, as per Ferrari SpA e-mail. At least s/n 34379 is 100% confirmed, owned by a friend, seen in the flesh, approved by Ferrari Heritage Certificate, date of manufacture: October 28, 1980.
Here is a thought. What if we sent the entire compiled list to Ferrari for verification? I mean really, just send the whole damn thing instead of one by one. Have them fill in the blanks and confirm everything. Good idea? Tim
