    My euro 308 was assembled in October 1983!...could very well be one of mine. I wish there was a way to know.

    My euro 308 was converted by Ron Spangler @ Prancing Horse Farms...however, I have no sticker on my door jam (and no Ferrari data plate) from either the importer nor conversion company. Is this normal?

    Sounds good. Hopefully some of this info collected here will help your data base too. I got the majority of chassis numbers from 308qvregister

    Oh no, some shops were more well known and brought in many cars, I suppose because they successfully retrieved the Bond once mods were passed.

    Mark,
    Please add 48179 a 1984 red with tan GTSi to your list. purchased in 1983 in Pittsburgh,Pa.
    I believe it was originally delivered in Austria.

    Thanks! Looks like you've been lurking for awhile. Glad you joined in this conversation. Is the car still in Pittsburgh? Post a picture when you can. I'll post another Word doc and spreadsheet with all the updated changes soon, but hopefully those folks who want to track these cars will copy and update their own lists themselves.

    Unfortunately, Chairpilot's Euro QV may now be available due to his passing. Seems vulgar to think about but according to those who knew him, it was his wish the QV be sold to benefit his grandchildren's education. It's worth following up at the appropriate time. I'm sure he would want it to be loved and appreciated by someone in the 308 "family."

    RIP Chairpilot. I sent him a PM when working on the Euro QV Registry project but never heard back. Now I know why. :(

    I wish it still had the sticker. It DOES have the plate in the engine bay saying it was imported to Pozzi in France. That is where it was sold new.

    I've seen a handful with red dashes. Someone on here has a red on red 308 which you might think would look terrible but it actually is gorgeous. I almost pulled the trigger on an 85 QV GTB Red with a Red dash and Creme interior about 5 years ago. It was for sale in Florida. You could really special order about any color of dash / interior but it was very rare. I've also seen a blue dashed car with a silver exterior that was gorgeous. The 80's was a colorful time :)

    Brantley,

    (highjacking the thread somewhat)
    Could you just make some place in your PM box to allow me to send you some good news about this?

    I just found this thread, mine is a 1985 GTS no. 58655. Red over tan, it has been in the US since 1986 and I have owned it since 1998. Currently waiting out the Wisconsin winter. I've heard that 100 in the US number before, but the fact that so many of them can be accounted for rather quickly makes me wonder if there aren't a lot more.

    The car mentioned in post # 106 is not in Northeast Ohio. I have that car now. It went from Florida to Rhode Island. It is an 84 Euro QV GTB #50375. It has black interior. I can't get the chassis number right now. The car is stacked up with other cars in the garage. Right now we are frozen solid with more bad weather on the way tonight.

    I'd imagine a few more have made their way here over the years, especially when the market went silly. Pretty impressive to clock more than 100 that quickly, with the majority right here on one site. Hey Mark, can you post the updated list?

    Sure. Just debarked this morning from an awesome cruise (Disney "Dream") around the Bahamas and am still traveling. Will get to it when I get home.

    I'm glad to see the list continues to grow.

    I think Bullittm3 was referring to his car being in Ohio. Thanks for the update on the GTB and congrats on the purchase. 50375 should be the chassis number. I'll add it to the data base.

    Thanks Bullittm3. Where's the car located?

    94 cars now on the list. Still "searching" through the QV Registry and FChat. The search function and it's 20 sec time limit between searches is very frustrating, although beneficial.

    Anyone know this car or it's owner? He hasn't posted in some time. Wondering if he still has it. Need a chassis number and interior color (black maybe?) First Post of many. New 308GTB owner.

    It was the car at the end of the post I was talking about. You have it on your list with no number on it . It says GTB Matt. I Got the post # wrong it was # 103
