    OK, so I am two weeks into ownership of my 84QV and this is more fun than I expected. I am enjoying learning the history of my car and making the little improvements I had planned in my mind over the past few years. The shields are now on (I was torn on this issue between historical accuracy and looks - looks won out here. I think the shield looks great on a dark car) Hill steering wheel extender is on (thanks for all the help there guys) The Euro grill and bumpers are on their way. I am still trying to figue out what to do on the exhaust side, I don't want it too loud but the standard old US setup is too subtle in my mind. Big project right now is getting the Sabbia interior back up to snuff - that will take a few weeks I think.
    Later today is a good washing and detailing (weather permitting.) I will shoot some better photos of the car after that.
    Thanks to Big Tex I have confirmed that 49719 is Blue Sera Metallic, which I love. I think it is a bit rare for a 308 color. How many of you out there have seen this color on a Fcar?

    Thanks again for all the help.

    Chip

    Maybe I missed it, but did you post photos anywhere?? I would love to see them, particularly with the shields added.

    I dont know how rare the Blue Sera is, but I heard from someone on this board that even the Nero Metallic of my car is pretty rare (24 total between the 308/328s). I would think that the blue may be even rarer.

    I would really like to see a breakdown of the original car colors like that.

    Blue Sera 308/328s are super duper rare. In fact I've personally only seen 1 308 in that color in 20 years. You should contact Ferrari North America and speak to Shannon LaBiancho, she will be able tell you a lot more about your car.

    When I bought my 308 it was Blu Sera. But it wasn't the original colour so I brought it back to that (Blu Dino metallizzato). In between it had been Blu Medio at one time.
    Didn't know Blu Sera was so rare but I'm not a fan (too dark for me).

    Hi Chip,

    Can't help you with the count but have found a couple examples in Blu Sera:

    http://www.bostonsportscar.com/1983%20308%20GTS%20CV.htm

    Euro version:
    http://www.motorcars-intl.com/vehicle_details.aspx?id=571&CAR=Ferrari-308-GTBi-QV

    That Euro is now for sale on eBay with gold rims: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983-Ferrari-308-GTB-QV-Euro_W0QQitemZ300410084761QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item45f1d61d99

    It's a great colour. Prefer the crema to the blue interior. Look forward to seeing shots of yours!

    I have one I believe...it's red now, tho....I'll get the Code number as it was in 1977, with Salchi Glidden paint.....it's still stuck on my engine lid...
    I guess they missed painting it!!!

    Blu sera and beige (or tan) GTB, just about the ultimate configuration for me. Very, very nice. Jon

    Pretty sure that was Azzurro FER 502/C. That is the color of my 1983 308 GTS QV

    Here's one for sale in Vancouver, BC, asking about US $ 96K. I've never seen the car on the road, at shows, or at the dealership although the dealer is only a couple miles from my home. Don't know the VIN. I've seen other internet photos of what I think to be this car. No connection to the dealer or car. https://www.bluestarmotors.com/showroom/6335/1989_Ferrari_328_GTS_Targa I sold my blu sera 60949 a couple of years ago to an enthusiast in the suburbs of Vancouver. I've not seen it since and have no idea whether it's still in BC. Jon
