If i'm not mistaken the TRX metric wheel was option on 1980 models and it was the standard on the 1981 models.

Hi Doc,
Hope all is going well and, again, I want to thank all for efforts made...Still, there are conflicts and Misunderstandings that I continue to pursue. Quickly, I did a heavy refurbish as I love my car and decided to spend an amount higher than one would spend with the purpose was to sell. I decide to rebuild all mechanical, electrical, hydralics etc (no rotisserie) The car is staying in the family...I do want to know what differentiates the 24 coupes and 29 spiders from all others. If, at your leisure, I would like you to look at what got me wondering It is attached and all documents that caused me to pursue my original post were garnered from Ferrar
Chat as shown in the attachment. Enough for now. I tried to make a peace offering to rifledriver, but would have none of It.I am 88 and grew up honoring family name, character and keeping one's word. I felt he was challenging that which is important...So, here's the info for you to look over. Let me know your thoughts.
It was and is a pleasure to interact with you and I trust you feedback.
John

FERRARICHAT FORUM

1980 FERRAIR 308 GTBi CONTROVERSY

Key point about my original post in FerrariChat

· My original post date is June 30, 2023

· The 24 GBTi unit count for 1980 was posted Dec. 10, 2005

· The source is the Ferrari 308GTB Register

· How could I have fabricated something after the fact?

· Trace through the 3X8 forum to post date of Dec.10, 2005

Further indication of wrong numbers was provided by Brian A, the person who generated the study back then.

Finally, a post made May 07, 2014 shows two locations that contain my chassis number in two serial number ranges

Serial Number Range Start End Number Produced

20805-34329 Model GTB Jun-77 Aug-80 2,185
#31371 doesn’t fit Mar-80
31327-43059 Model GTBi July-80 Feb-83 494
#31371 fits Mar-80
In closing the list comparisons show a +/- spread of about 100.
My totals of 1980 GTBi and 1980 GTSi = 53 units (24+ 29)…If these units were put
where they appear on the worksheets discussed there would be a 100 point
differentiation (add 53 to one group and subtract 53 from the other group provided by Brian A).




Thanks ahead of time,

 

To those who followed this. I have attached the figures that started my search. As you can see, it was not invented or altered. The date was before my request for info, the Ferrari 308 GTB Register was the producer and apparently added the injected cars around the date on the data sheet (12/13/2006). This info was never doubted until I started my search for who had the 24 '80 GTBi models. I choose to use this sheet as it appears legitimate and did come from FerrariChat...Thank you all for efforts to date.
