    So I found out the other day that @UroTrash and I share a sort of kinship with Ferrari from our childhood. Here is a link to my first Ferrari experience when I was 13 and it has been well documented here, including the current location and ownership of this yellow 1977 308 chassis #21277. This link tells my story of how it all started for me in post #1

    In that first post you will see that I mention another Ferrari, a 1966 330 GTC 2+2 was in the garage next to where this 308 is parked. I remember him showing it to me. That one belonged to him, the 308 didn't. He said it was originally blue and pointed to a very small area where the yellow paint had chipped away revealing the blue underneath. I though it was cool - a Ferrari with back seats! He said he bought it from a pilot...

    Anyway, that 308 was the car that did me in for life. Urotrash tells a relatively similar story here about the car that introduced him permanently to the marque when he was exactly the same age as I was when I followed that 308 home. It was a 330 GTC, chassis 8183. Well, after a little research this past weekend it turns out the 330 that both Urotrash and I stumbled on as very young teenagers was the same car... Small world. His story:

    Here is that car from a thread years ago @JLF

    Very cool story. It's awesome that you guys stumbled on the same car.

    I wish I could find out the VIN of the Giallo 360 Modena I first experienced when I was 15, that led me to register here the next day and starting a lifelong obsession.

    I don't even like yellow Ferrari's (430 Scud, exception) but I'd do anything to buy that car if I could find it.

    The 330GTC is not a 2+2. The 330 GT is, however.
