1977 Ferrari 308 GTB review from North America
"Timeless classic and a bargain at $30k"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have not experienced any problem that I would consider abnormal or unacceptable.
General comments?
A Ferrari requires proper maintenance. If the car is taken care of and used properly, they are a joy to own. Cheap-skates and corner-cutters need not apply... You will have to spend money on service and quality parts.
My 308 has not let me down at all. I take excellent care of it and perform all repairs and maintenance myself. It is a timeless design that never grows old. Pininfarina (the design studio) is a master and that's why Ferrari uses him exclusively. The car is quick (early carburetted cars are the best performing, highest horsepower 308's).
