    If I may, the serial of this car is 32001 which is an April 80 production car known as a US Rosso-Nero, so it match perfectly.

    To be even more precise, the horizontal gauge style appeared in November 80, so late 2v US injected car received it (and so all the Euro models).

    Not that I would be keen on owning a car in such a condition. But it's nice to see one from time to time. These cars prove, that they are way more robust, than what folklore says. I regularly see a similar condition GT4 driving around. One owner since 1992 with maintenance and care next to nothing. It rusts and smokes, but runs perfect.

    It's those terrible wheels, the false emblems....

    A factory set of rims, even worthless 390s, and a good bath and engine detailing would go a LONG way!
    The red cam covers mean that someone has "been in" this motor, but recall the Factory piston ring recall.

    Rusts and runs....can I get that on a license plate frame??
    :D :D :D

    Merry Christmas Everyone!
    I want to let the gang know that I purchased 32001 back in October from Bernie's good friend here in Dallas. Thank you, Bernie for reaching out to me and being a big help in this purchase! As you can see by the pictures in the post, it's a sad 308 that needs a lot of attention. I have been on Fchat for over 16 years just reading, learning and taking notes for a day like this! I plan on asking lots of questions and hopefully showing progress. My first goal is to get the 80's girl up on wheel cribs this holiday and take a 1000 photos to help evaluate the true condition of the 308. A full restore is in order.....a 1000 hours in a 3-year time-frame...probably. Wanted - A DFW 308 mentor! happy holidays!

    Look at this on. Bought it in 2009 and or it was in a rally bad shape sitting outside for more than 10 years.

    With a lot of DIY i did sort of out in only 4 months. Rust was NOT an issue!

    After this initial stage i went to mod it completely into a trackcar, even added a turbo.

    Btw, if you are interested in more mods on the car, search for my "Call my stupid, again" thread
