    With a lot of luck/timing $175K, most likely $225-275, possibly $325 plus.

    Depends on condition, location, who is selling it, how many people want it besides you, etc.

    Oooooh, I'd love to have a set of those to put on my Vetro! One day I shall invest in it, for sure.

    When I was buying my GT4, the dealer also had a Fiberglass 308 for sale at 14K more. Love my GT4 but looking back, it would have been nice to have purchased the fiberglass 308. As the say hind sight is 20/20.

    If someone hadn't run into my parked 308GT4, I would never have had a second thought about buying a GTB. Given the choice, I'd rather the GT4, but it would have to be a good one, which mine was.

    Nice idea I've done that on my 105 Alfa.

    It's probably illegal (in Aust.) as I haven't changed the bulb for an amber one yet..

    My LED globe is clear but flashes amber, so you can't see it through the lens.

    One's the less desirable wet sump, the other's had a colour change!

    I remember my mom telling me as a small kid, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything". Here in America the only glass cars one could get back in the days were the "less desirable" wet sumps. I carry this burden now, daily, but still do not need my eyes poked out. :)

    I have a spare dry-sump gearbox casing if you want to 'fix' it. You need a few other bits too though.

    No eye poking intended, was talking about Euro cars and just for information only. Friend of a friend nearly bought a Vetro recently here in the UK not knowing the different specs, funnily enough dealer didn't mention it was wet sump......

    We have the most limited edition glass car - and the most rare of the lot.

    I say to those that call it less diserable to go get their own :)

    Pedro,

    On the Australian and European vetroresina cars, I have only ever seen this type of fastener for the headlight covers. The screw is 10mm in diameter, the thread is 10mm long and the thread is M4.

    The sales brochure does show a different type. Have you checked the part number in the parts book to see if there are any changes?

    Hello Martin!

    Wet sump 308 engines actually have the same sequence as the 308 GT/4 engines, so you'll see Peter's engine falls into the 308 GT/4 sequence. Additionally, all wet sump 308 GTB also have the 308 GT/4 transmission (With the shorter 5th. gear) so when checking the transmission number on these wet sump cars, the transmission number also follows the GT/4 sequence, NOT the dry sump sequence.

    Are there 1st gear differences as well for dry vs wet cars?

    Any chance of dragging yourself away from Judge Judy and looking at the book on your shelf?

    OK, I guess not.

    European 308 GTB final drive:
    Overall: 1:3.405
    5th. gear ratio: 1:0.952
    RPM @ 100 km/h: 2,868.

    USA/Australia/Japan 308 GTB & 308 GT/4 (All markets) final drive:
    Overall:1:3.529
    5th. gear ratio: 1:0.918
    RPM @ 100 km/h: 2,966

    Makes you wonder why they'd bother.

    Second, third and fourth gear the same ratio, first gear shorter (As per GT/4).
