    Hello from Europe,

    I'm looking for informations about my GTB 1978 that I'm owning since a few years now ,it came from the States 25 Years ago ( approx. 1990 ) .
    Is there someone able to identify a car via VIN Number ?
    Thanks a lot !

    The best thing would be to post its chassis number here, and maybe you would get an answer in return. Or maybe not, if no-one knows the car, but I wouldn't be surprised that someone might be able to chime in...

    Well, here you go! Now we just have to wait for the time difference until our American friends wake up, and your chances are fair to good that someone here has information about the car. It did have the Koenig kit on already when it was in the States? If so, that would make it more noticeable.

    That should be the Frame designation, for a North American berlinetta.

    have you looked into the 308GTB Registry?
    That might be another place to find some information on the car.

    Good luck in your search!

    Then may I suggest that I think you should have given anoher title to your thread?

    I think that "searching history of 308 GTB 26661" would have been much more efficient, because anyone having any reminescence of the car would have looked into the thread, whereas with the actual title, only those among us that are interested in the topic of chassis number are looking into the thread...

    My two cents...

    Although I have not been contacted by the current owner, I can add that the car was in the Netherlands in 1993:

    26661. LHD. Koenig. Red/brown. Plates: XD-21-SF (NL).
    On 10th April 1993 seen at Feike Leistra, Schagerbrug, NL.
    One month earlier spotted in Amsterdam.
