I'm a happy owner of a 79
I'm a happy owner of a 79 308gts. I bought the car and it is in great shape. It had limited service records, but I could tell the car was really kept up, and the ppi proved it. So what I got was a great car for a great price since I used the lack of maint. records as a way to get the price down. Even the windows and wipers work at a modern car era speed, and the dash lights are bright and the car leaks NO oil. I've looked at a total of 4 308's (one of which was a QV, which was junk) before I bought this car, and this car was the nicest one. The cat thing is really no big deal with the 79 and 78 model years since the car is over 15 years old and depending on where you live you can get a classic plate, and the car is now exempt of emmisions (which means remove all of that crap). The one thing I love about the car is the seating position. The way I'm built, the car feels like it was built around me. It's a perfect fit. Also, the car handles like it on rails. No body roll at all. The off the line speed isn't that great, but I believe that's becuase of the low first gear. I honestly think these cars are awesome. You get modern day handling with classic sound, styling, and if you do the majority of the maintenance yourself, the maint. costs can be lower than a harley.
