Hey everyone,
I need your opinion on this machine I am looking at. It is a 1978 308GTS with 51k miles. The car has euro bumpers and a deep euro front spoiler. The ignition on the car has been upgraded to the eletromotive system($1600 and never have to replace those horrid $250 a pop dizzies again). These are the good points. The car runs extraordinarily well. Fastest 308 I have ever been in.
The bad points are as follows: The UBER rare and even more UBER expensive if you can find one Vitaloni column switch is broken but still functions (just looks really ugly in one spot, new one is over $3k if one is found). The last major service involved refurbishing the heads and the rest of the top end about 10k miles ago. Timing belts nor anything else have been touched since then(that means I will be replacing a lot of stuff in a few thousand miles). The seats were recovered with a very high quality non-leather material that looks original but it is not original leather.
The car is definitely a driver car which is what I am looking for but I have no idea what a fair price may be. I am thinking about $25k. What do you think?
thanks all-john

Is it a 308GTB or GTS?
CONS:
25k for a carb'ed 308 is way too much, the t-belt and included service is well over $3000 and include the needed switch, well you can figure out the rest. Non-original leather is also a no-no.
My Father years ago had one, he was constantly messing with the syncros of the carbs, what a mess. Expensive maintenance.
PROS:
awesome car to drive, lots of appeal, quick, awesome sound
