I am the current owner of a 1979 308 GTS Euro Carby #28693. She was first sold in Sweden. Single distributor, no cats, no smog pump, no vapor recovery system. Currently sports a stainless Borla exhaust. I love this little car.

Welcome to FLife

Great looking Ferrari looks perfect!

Any chance you have a sound clip of the exhaust?

I am not computer literate, so I do not know how to "attach' Very well. If you go to You Tube and type in "Ferrari 308 Borla", I have three short clips there. You will see by 903L. I used a crappy little camera and the windows were up due to wind noise. You can still hear it pretty well though. I'd like to get a GoPro and find an area where I could really wind her out.

A belated welcome to FL, Marty. Perfect car for Southern California climate. I was back in Long Beach few weeks ago. The weather was perfect during my stay. Unfortunately, I was getting around with a subcompact rental ! (Think it was a Dodge !). w/ smiles Jimmy

Thanks Jimmy. I went to Cal State Long Beach. Met my wife there. Many memories. Too bad your Dodge rental wasn't a Viper.

Thanks guys for all the welcomes and compliments!

It's kinda' embarrassing but, that is a First Place Plaque / Trophy I got for my car at a car show. All who won trophies were surprised at how "Chincy" they were. It was a chili cook off / car show. Only about 80 cars. 20 of which were foreign. But, WTH, it's another trophy for her collection. Here is one that is a little more substantial. There were around 400 cars, 70 of which were foreign.
