    Howdy from Dallas.

    I recently acquired a 1983 308 GTSi QV. I currently have some other cars and car projects so I'm not a noob as far as classics go. I figured I'd sign-up here and introduce myself to the online community.

    I plan on taking this car out to the Grapevine Italian Car Festival next month. Maybe I'll see some of you there!

    Welcome Jeff! That's a great looking 308, congrats! ;) This is a great online community, with a lot to offer to a 'new' Ferrari owner in terms of support, guidance, discussions, DIY, locating parts, etc. etc. and just fun!

    Thanks everyone!

    I sure have enjoyed driving it so far. As for the timing belts, they were last replaced in 2008. The plan is to get that job done in the next 6 months. This car is a "Sunday Driver" so I'm not planning on putting a bunch of miles on it.

    I think he means the chassis # It is located on the left side engine compartment between the coils and expansion tank. It usually is colored with the same paint color as the car came from factory.

    Congrats on the car. Beautiful.
