Are you gunna drive that girly lookin' Prado over here and expect me to show you around again???....................................


I'll get an itinerary going.......waterfalls,dams,lakes,mountains....you know you're GREAT at mountains....

 

Lol, you wouldn't fit in the Prado. It doesn't have as much room as the Statesman did.

I AM a man mountain!

 

I was following a black glass 308gts today on Anzac bridge. Sadly no pics as I was on my motorbike. I doubt there are many black glass cars in Sydney! Car looked great amongst all the other bland cars surrounding it. Needed a tubi though, far far too quiet.

 

How do you know it was glass?

 

Rear bumper contained reverse lights. Main tail lights did not.

 

That's how I identify them also, hoping no one is being cheeky and put that particular "glass" rear bar on it.

 

Get rich quick scheme?

1. Buy 308GTS
2. Put glass rear bar on it
3. ???
4. Profit

 

I don't know about the 308 GTS, but I bet it's been done before.

Someone buys a 308 GTB and puts a glass rear bar/tail lights on it and sells it off as a 'glass car'.

 

The definitive identifying characteristic is the break in the A pillars. That is always there on any glass car in any specification.

 

Thanks mate, I thought there may have been a few differences in those cars.

I never knew about the 'break' in the A pillar, you never stop learning they reckon.

Cheers and enjoy.

 

No such thing as a fiberglass 308 GTS.
Every GTS is a steel body car.

That's what I thought. Mike

 

There SOME folk on here that know their stuff,but try not to embarrass the less knowledgeable

 

I always thought the unmistakable characteristic was that a magnet would fall off a glass car

 

That will teach me not to reply to a post late at night without reading it properly. Didn't even see the reference to a GTS

All GTS are metal. As for the Vetroresina cars, there are numerous identifying features; but there was some variation in the use of those features across different markets. The definitive feature that appears on all Vetroresina cars is the break in the A pillar where the glass roof meets the metal pillar. The variable characteristics are the non-recessed number plate area, the solid colour rear lights and rear bumper with recessed reversing lights. There are a bunch of less obvious and minor variations as well. If you want to be a real anally retarded anorak you can start discussing variations on tool kits and owners manuals

Oh, and magnets don't stick to the Vetroresina body panels

 

Can someone post a pic of this "break in the A pillar"?

Thanks

 

Nothing much to see. It is a horizontal line almost at the top of each A pillar, often filled with black silicone. In some restored cars it is mistakenly filled and painted over.

 

Righto. So the easiest way to spot a glass car is to see if there's someone in a bad rocky horror picture show costume driving it?

 

Mate, it is a black line across the top of the bloody A pillars. What more can I say about it.
Google it if you need a picture!

 

He's a pilot, so one of the simpler people in life

Pilot debrief : the plane's fkt
Engineer : can you narrow down the area of the fault ?
Pilot : yeah, it's that plane in bay 222
Engineer :

 

Followed this home, just lovely Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

I think I've got it.

This has a black line near where it says "A", so it's a glass 308.
