308 Assembly Sequence Numbers

Very cool, and what an experience!

I guess they changed the form during the production. The ones I've seen were vetroresinas and it was a different form (don't know if they keep them in a folder or not). For sure the assembly number is on this page but once is enough.
The right page of your folder show a lot of details, what kind? The road test or anything else?

I wish I could go there one day...

 

I hope that they have copied all of these files electronically. All of this amazing information and documentation would be at risk otherwise.

 

The more I looked at this pictures, the more I find them so interesting. There are even the number punches behind on the shelves, it's amazing. Did you have special treatment due to an introduction into the factory or can all owners make an appointment like that?

Just to gather the right information for each car, would you mine giving us the body number for 35455 if you had the chance seing it at the Classiche dpt? (21277 has/had its owner here on Fchat so we have it already).

I don't have any car with this body number, would you mind sharing its vin number as well?

Thank you both of you, I am very lucky that this thread attract attention again, collecting data is really a long-term job but it allows everyone to progress in understanding this period of production...

1985 GTS - August 84 build, sequence number 70, chassis 53227

 

Must be model and sub model specific then

 

I've seen the numbers on tape like this or grease pencil on the panel itself.

If that car still has its original parts then yes of course. I've seen cars with different numbers on the doors or front end parts which isn't a good sign. The cars are mocked up before paint and marked so they end up in the correct car. Even the seats have bags on them with the build number.

Talking about other brands, for a moment, I was into nothing but Mopars when I got my drivers license and had some pretty cool cars until I made the switch. Chrysler kept their seats bunched together beside the assembly line and it wasn't uncommon for the worker to grab the wrong pair - they all looked the same if it was a high back vinyl bucket. My AAR Cuda ended up with the wrong build sheet in the seat that was for another AAR. Not uncommon but if they marked them like the pic above that would never have happened.

 

And what is your full engine number? Is it a F105A040 or F105E040, It should be around 597?

 

I'm not sure. Why do you need the engine number?​

 

Just to confirm that the last body number reset for the QV was not as the previous one which included an engine reset as well (from ZFFMA to ZFFUA) and try to understand the reason of that July reset.
I have US 53225 with engine number 596 but I haven't the confirmation of the type of the engine.

 

Is that car an 84 or an 85? What was production sequence for that car?

 

I know my engine is E040, which I understand is US or at least for 85 and up.

 

The QV's had a very different start and end to the year model production run for every year.

83 started in Jan 83 and ended in Dec 83. 84 Stared in Dec 83 and ended in July 84. 85 started in July 84 and ended in July 85

"MA" to "UA" reflected the addition of O2 sensor, frequency valve and from air pump to pulse air. The difference between 105A040 to 105E040

That is all for the US. At least when these cars were made very few if any other countries required auto manufacturers declare the model year of the car and incorporate it into the VIN. We also require a plate on the car stating month of manufacture. I see you are in France and I believe your cars had the standard EU VIN configuration with far less information.

 

MY 84 and 85.
