Ha ha! Hey, pretty much all cars were shit back then. Compare the 308 to a Mustang II and it was no brainer. The 308 WAS the performance car. It’s all relative. Plus, they had style. One of my older coworkers had mentioned back in the ‘70s, his friend bought an E-Type and the women were just throwing themselves at this guy. He got lots of tail and that was pretty much the point of owning a “cool” car back then (could you imagine the broads you’d pick up with a 308 in the ‘70s?). Now?... Wanna attract women? Forget a Ferrari, get a tiny Yorkie dog!

I have no idea what the fascination is with the glass 308

They were poorly made and painted

Anemic power,terrible transmission, non existent A/C

Carbed cars that routinely caught fire 

Ferrari got away with selling a car that was a little better than a Chevy Vega!

And to think the ‘glass cars were a stopgap to give the factory time to tool up for steel bodies!

There’s also a flat rear panel on most of the world ‘glass cars. USA being an exception, I think. The edges are also not quite as sharp on the glass cars, but smoother.

 

Apparently the guys in the UK LOVE our wet sump cars because of the lack of corrosion….so dry sump isn’t always where the money is. In fact, the biggest $$$ sales in Aus have been Aus delivered wet sump AFAIK.

We have a about 50 here in Australia that we know of with about 1/3^rd of these being dry sump versions.  Vetro dry sump is where the money is.  The only external visual difference I’m aware of with the Vetros compared to the Steels is a tiny seam line at the top of the windscreen pillar (see picture).  Otherwise, they look identical to the casual eye.

Cheers,

Grahame

I have seen only one close up.  What is really different is how the rear deck lid disconnects from the body.

Open the deck lid.  Look at the area where steel 308’s have three 13mm bolts and on the glass car there are only two.  Pull out two long bolts (?) and slide the rear deck off of two projecting square fingers.

What else is different?  Dunno.

Cheers

Doug

Ahh, okay. Somehow I thought it was a glass car.

I saw David Schirmer recently.  He's not in the NW club right now, but is considering rejoining and doing some drives.

 

He still has his 1977 308 GTB, but it's not a fiberglass car.

 

Cheers,

 

Gary
