Hi ferrari chatters. I am wanting your help in finding out what Fiat parts are used on my Ferrari 308 QV. today I came across a warehouse full of new and used Fiat parts, this place once was a Fiat auto wreckers. The owner of the building wants to clear it out for possible sale of the building. All of these parts will basically be going to the scrap. when I looked in the door, first thing I saw was 2 brand new veglia clock mechanisms still in the box, he gave these to me and told me if there's anything else I need to take a look. What should I be looking for? I'm sure there are other parts that will fit onto my 308, your help is much appreciated and I only have about 1 day to find the parts I want before they go out.
Seriously, if they are good parts they are valuable Ferrari or Fiat. Don’t let him wreck them. Sell them as a bulk package if you don’t want to be a parts seller. There are quite a few fiat parts on Ferrari’s and Dino’s.
If you don't want to own them all, inform a Ferrari parts/service specialist in your area and get them to buy the whole lot and they can sift through what is there.
From the top of my head Fiat, Lancia Beta, and 308 share these parts: Front and rear side markers Brake light switch behind brake pedal Oil cap Water reservoir or radiator cap Wiper motor For FI, Thermo time switch Cold start valve Oil pressure light switch Throttle Position Switch (TPS) Some Gauages, I can’t remember which one Hand brake lever except Fiat doesn’t have the light And many more that I just couldn’t remember.
Thats great guys, cheers. Have found a few of these things, will keep looking. Let me know if anything else you remember. Yes I will have a chat about selling it all to someone. Is a shame if it gets dumped.

There is also a restoration shop west of Chicago, in Barrington Illinois, if selling and shipping any of the stash to the US is a consideration. http://roadstersalon.com/
Can you see if there's a dash switch for a 1969 Fiat 500? Seriously that is a treasure trove! Can you cross post this over to the Australian (where Kiwis dwell as well) Fchat thread - there will definitely be a few folks there who will want to get hold of this stuff...
If there’s any Alquati or Abarth parts, I might be interested or some Lancia Scorpion/MonteCarlo parts, thanks
Great car-guy retirement side-job... buy this for a song, sort and catalog (with friends, fine spirits and cigars handy), have a good internet connection, start an eBay store....
Great! I'm in Germany. I'll come If you stretch the needs regarding the GT/4, door and trunk/engine lid openers are Fiat X1/9 Image Unavailable, Please Login Best from Germany Martin
Wow!!! Lucky guy, I would keep them all and sell with time. From the top of my head, ignition coils and modules are the same. Good luck and best from Spain. John
Did you look in any of the cross-reference threads here such as the sticky at the top ? Probably others listed there already
And Lancia Stratos, Lambo Urraco & Silhouette, possibly a few others Back to the OP - there are several Australian Fiat shops that would be interested in this. I have a friend in Perth who would probably love to have a look at these and take them off your hands. I'll send you a PM
Thanks for all the feedback people. Had a chat to the owner and he's getting the fiat club to come around and also a fiat specialist to sift through it as it goes out the door. So at least most of the really hard to get stuff will be saved. Its going to take more than a few days to clear this shed so I will call in and take another look. Im not that interested in buying it all, but im sure the Fiat clubs eyes will open wide and do the right thing with it. Thanks for the help on all the parts for my 308 qv. I managed to find .... 2 new veglia clocks About 10 full sets of veglia instrument panels with clocks in. 2 auxillary air valves 4 indicator lenses Electric window motors Box of new break light switches. (Not bad for a dozen corona's) Im sure many other parts were there, but I had no idea what they looked like etc. And I have some more parts to look for when im back. (For the 308) If you think of any other parts that fit a 308, please let me know. Cheers.
Brake callipers? Are they Afla GTV / Porsche 911 70 ,s versions of ATE ? For 308 Ferrari’s built in the 70.s ??
Please, Drivers Door window frame (Ferrari 308 GTB / Euro ) urgently needed, may having luck in New Sealand to find one.
