There’s something so special and satisfying about driving a truly classic and analog car, a car that “you” drive and not the other way around, like all new cars. No traction control, no power steering assistance, it’s just the driver, the car and the road….an absolute visceral experience. Gorgeous car, keep it, I’ve had my 76 308 GTB a long time now and am just in love with it today as the day I purchased it and brought it home.
I’m thinking about buying a 1975 Lotus Eclat friend of mine, picked it up in Canada. It hasn’t been running and it has been sitting for 30 years. $4500 Canadian motor has been unseized. Do you think it’s worthwhile?
If you have the ability to do a lot of your own work, then absolutely, especially if it is in decent physical shape. Cars that need physical restoration can be a bit more risky if you're looking to make money. In the end always focus on what you pay for it not what you sell it for. That rule has always served me well.

Beautiful 308! I have a Yellow '79,
From an era when Ferrari built sports cars that didn’t have to be the fastest on the road, but were beautiful and feelsome.
