    Congrats Greg.
    At long last, you have fulfilled one of your dreams.
    I remember just a couple of weeks ago you started 350Z vs 308 thread or something like that, right?
    You will enjoy it, my friend has a 77 carb. also and the sound is very original.
    Enjoy..

    Yes, I'm torn about my 350Z. How logical is it to have 2 small sports cars? I love my Z, but I probably need to sell it and get a more sensible "partner" to my 308. Very undecided.........The Z is fassssssstttttttt!

    Congrats! Is this the same dealership that is selling a '78 308 GTB on eBay? Also looks like a nice car to me...allthough it is due for a service, but I love the unusual colour. What colour is yours?

    Congratulations! Best of luck with it! As Birdman said, early pre-cat 308s are really great - tons of character!

    Here she is...... Pretty car, eh?

    The Speedlines were a total windfall---17". I know they're not original, but they do bring the car into modern times, visually....

    The leather was either very well-maintained, or it's new. Dig the wood-rimmed Momo!
