    That a Ferrari 275 GTB 6/C looks like a giant pig next to a cheap 308 that will blow the doors off that gorgeous 275.

    Hi all - well, here's mine. Purchased in July 2017 from another F-chat member Todd308 (and I believe I may be the third F-chat owner, but not positive on this.)

    1985 GTS QV Euro
    #54845
    Red/Tan
    My research indicates it's a Swiss spec
    Current Home: Tallahassee, FL

    It has had some nice mechanical work & upgrades performed (by 308Nut, I think)... upgraded radiator, brakes, Nouvalari exhaust, refreshed the suspension and interior. All in all some very nice work. Todd's documentation of the car in his forum posts really went a long way in making me feel confident I was getting a good car.

    I think the first time I saw a 308 was in an issue of Car & Driver around 1980... and wanted one ever since. I'm still in a bit of calm shock that it's sitting in my garage now.

    Well done! Big welcome to the "Euro" Brotherhood!
    Euro cars are fantastic and I never tire of walking into the garage and seeing mine there after returning from 14 days of work. Always a " damn, that's really cool!" Moment!

    Anyone knows this seller? I would consider it. Seems fairly priced if it has been properly maintained - and if description is accurate (good compression across all cylinders, etc)

    In the US, that's considered a 1985 model year car. My 84 Euro QV is 52703 produced in June 1984, and is one of the last 1984 cars, the 1985 model year cars came down the production line one week later.

    I've been away I guess and missed the last few posts.

    Anyone get those chassis numbers?

    Here's a new one on Hemmings that wasn't on the list. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/ferrari/308gtsi-qv/1956032.html

    Great, I didn't have the location of 59001. If you post your up to date pdf, I can add all the numbers I collected but I don't know which one are on the links. (last one I have is from March 17)

    What about a US QV converted to Euro QV, would it count as Euro?
