I gave up on this quest long ago. I also have a '79 GTS in Nero with Rosso interior. I keep my eyes open for 16" wheels but so have not had the...
Good tip on pushing down on the trunk lid. I usually inspect and test both pulls every so often. These are old cars and things do break but it is...
If you mean the engine cover, there should be a back up pull just behind the seat belt near the rear deck.
The paint that year had issues and if I understand it correctly Ferrari would have repainted it under warranty for owners who reported the issue....
I run like BBS RS1s and have been very happy with the Dunlop Direzza Stars. Like greyboxer noted, there are numerous threads on this topic...
-7C is chilly but alas for us this time of year it is not uncommon. These cars have good heaters! Alas, with the crud (sand, salt, and snow) on...
Anything below 0 Celsius is cold, really anything under 4C. In reality, it is more about the difference from one temperature to another but for...
I wish I were able to get in my car and take it for a drive, hibernating for winter. I do not recollect any play in my steering but perhaps I am...
I am surprised you would see wear anywhere with so few miles. I will curious as to what you find. I removed my rack two years ago and replaced...
Given the kilometers/miles, it sounds like it could be the passenger side bushing in the rack. Jack the passenger side front up and try to wiggle...
Martin, I knew I had seen that info somewhere before. Thanks for the reminder. Was your GTB specially ordered? I suspect the Euro cars were...
Packed up my truck struts to be rebuilt.
My '79 GTS is #30585 with a manufacture date of December '79. I have also heard of carb cars into 1980 and I recollect even one custom one in '82...
I believe they had to modify the seats for Selleck to fit too.
One other note, my guess is that it is a repaint. The original paint in 1979 was bad and the factory would repaint under warranty. It may have...
My Nero '79 #30585 would have been next to that car in the factory. Interesting they are the same color but I have a Rosso interior not tan. I...
Not sure why you would want a check valve and IMHO it is not a good idea. As noted, fluid needs to flow both ways. I also have a '79 and it is...
It looks more like a XL70, I miss mine but it went to a good new home a few years ago. Another kid now gets to have good memories on it!
I did the exact same on my '79 GTS and I have no worries of it leaving me stranded because of a worn part.
I feel your pain. At the same time, sometimes I replace things that are in good condition but are likely to fail within my ownership of the car if...
