Back to being an official owner of a C3. I sold my 71 8 years ago, and have missed having it around. I looked around for a while and settled on this 70 coupe with BB/4 speed, AM/FM, and A/C that actually blows cold!

Thanks everyone!





I'm the 4th owner of this rascal, I got a ton of documentation with it. Very original 31,000 mile car. It has a few things that need attention, but is pretty much ready to drive.

Nice! We need more pics.

Will it be a driver at all? It looks like a show car.

Edit: I type slowly.

Absolutely intend to drive it, although not on these tires. Not real sure how old they are, I need to check them out. I do intend to attempt to run the NCRS gauntlet with it, as much to learn about them and meet other owners.

I absolutely agree. Not bragging, but gees these are beautiful cars with great lines, and brute power too. I believe C3's are woefully underpriced and are great bargains right now. The money I paid for this car will barely get you into a well worn driver C2, and a C7 will be worth less inside of five years. Great time to buy.

If it wasn't for the wet concrete, that shot would be calendar or screen saver material! Just a stunning, beautiful car and thanks for the share!
