Default Pics of recently purchased C3








Here are the pics of the 82 C3 I just bought. I am extremely happy with this car. 46,000 miles, all original, and unmolested. The frame is excellent with no rust what so ever. The air blows nice and cold. Only issues I have found are the original Delco ETR radio does not work, and there seems to be an issue when the A/C / HTR control is placed to Vent I don't get any air out of the vents. I again thank this forum for all the knowledge that was provided to help in my search for the right car for me. Thanks to Durango Boy for help posting these pics to share with everyone. Bart

Great choice of color and a sharp looking car. Looks brand new. Did you get any documentation with it, like window sticker, etc passed down from the original owner?

NICE RIDE I don't know if they still do it but we took the radio in on our 80' years ago to the dealer and they sent it in for R/R came back 4 days later for less than $100.
GODD LUCK and HAVE LOTS of FUN wro87

Great looking car! Check those tires though - seriously. They are probably too old to drive safely on, as I don't think GY has made 'em in over 10 years. And if they are the OEM tires, then REALLY change 'em before you drive the car much.

Right now plans are to keep it stock. Thanks for the compliments. And thanks for the tip about the tires, seems like there was a thread or article about the age of tires, and how age affects tires, and how to determine their age. Anyone remember where that might have been? I don't think they would be the original tires from the factory as the tread has little to no wear and the car does have 46,000 miles. Good point though I will try to figure out their age. Not a lot of documentation with car. Repair bill to replace calipers, and normal service work fom last owner. Car was a trade in on a new Bently.

Those are my favorite design for the RWL on tires.
One of my 77's had them back in the day.

P.S. Blinded by the Red on Red! Nice!
