    Q1. Was my 1977 308GTB (USA) shipped from Genoa to Port Newark, New Jersey? Or to Baltimore? Does anyone know the route used in 1977?

    Q2. How in 1977 did Ferraris arrive on the USA West coast? Were they surface transported from the East coast port of entry?

    Thanks in advance!

    New Jersey was the home of Ferrari North America, so quite possible it was received there.

    Or, west coast delivery was also possible...Hollywood Sports Cars IIRC, ...or Ron Tonkin in the NW.

    Where on the East coast in 1977 were Ferraris off loaded from the ship? That's my question. Thanks.

    Generally, the Port of Importation was Newark and still is. The Port of Importation appears on the window sticker/MSRP upper left hand corner.

    West Coast vehicles were shipped into the Los Angeles Port by boat.
