Looking for 308's in Rosso Rubino Metallic code 106-R-83

Here's my former 1983 308 GTS QV in it's original Rosso Rubino metallic factory paint.

 

here's a shot of 22237. (Previous owner put on the air dam and front bumper; I later added a matching rear bumper)

How much did you pay for those wheels on that 1st picture? Those are after market rims?

 

The three-piece 16" BBS racing wheels were already on the car when I bought it.

Apparently the original owner had them installed, because they are dated stamped 1983 (same year as car).

 

Here are a few more. Please note that the color shows up a little different on computers and computer screens. It is actually a very nice color. Sometimes it looks pink in pictures, but it is NOT even close to pink.

What a beautiful color!

 

those BBS wheels were a dealer "performance" option and were fitted by dealers either before the cars were sold, or at the customers request. they are "rare" as in few were sold that way, they dont do anything for me as far as "value" goes, but its a neat thing about the cars that still have them.
my red 308 has the wheel "triangles" blacked out on the 14 (inch) wheels, even the full size spare. this was done by the dealer. i think it looks awful, but i am going to get Compomotive wheels when i can. love the Rubino color!

 

"My Heritage Certificate says that my car, 1978 308 GTS #23825, was painted Rosso Rubino Metallic code 106-R-83. The car is currently solid red. I may repaint it in the original color"

If there is a problem with the current paint to warrant a re-paint,
then I would consider it.
But if not, the cost to re-paint 308 properly without doing the work yourself
is around $10k, a cost that you will likely not re-coop.

I'd just drive the pants off the car and worry about the paint when it gets to be a problem.

 

gary...that is the same color as my 83 gtb qv. the color is actually rosso metalica. it is a very unique color and should not be confused w/ rosso rubino.

it is a spectacular color and as an aditional note, i also have gold center bbs racing wheels w/ gold centers as yours looks to have.

i find it funny that you also have a boxer in the same color combo as mine as well! you've grat taste gary!!!

michael...interesting info. my wheels are 7 & 8 x 16 bbs modular gold w/ polished rim.

when i bought my gtb qv (7 yrs ago approx) my car came w/ the orig. trx tires and wheels and the mounted bbs's w/ pirelli p-7's in brand new condition.

the trx wheels were taken off when the car was delivered to the first owner and sit as now...unused.

the car had 4700 mi when i purchased it and has a whopping 7k on it now.

my car also has the euro front spoiler and w/ the bbs wheels , looks spectacular!

 

gerald, i will check it out tomorrow and then reply.

it will actually be on a decal that is placed under the deck lid.

 

...that they peel off as they paint it 'resale red" .......LOL!
