I worked on a Countach last year. The car was torn down for mechanical restoration and my job was to clean up the chassis. It really don't look bad but the owner wanted perfect and a rear bumper delete. No sweat. I fixedca few fiberglass areas, removed all the bad coatings and sprayed a fresh coat of black and schutz. It looked great.... But the outside looked like crap. The front spoiler was pitted. The rear fender flairs were pitted. The doors had very cracked paint, just waiting to flake off. The interior was moldy and mousey. The door pistons were bad. The car was rough. The owner wanted to "maintain its patina"
