This simply has not been my experience. The 308 pictured is wearing its original paint, the interior leather/fit is very good, the drivetrain is original and it runs perfect. The doors close with a "thunk" just as nice as my 911s and the overall impression is one of a quality piece and a special drive. I'll match the quality of my 308 against a 911 of that period-easy to do as we have an 85 two owner Carrera in the driveway as well . As to Ferrari race car quality, not too many cars could have competed at Daytona and LeMans with a basically stock car like the Ferrari 365 GTB did. They even ran one in 79 when it was basically an antique and it nearly won the race overall.
