5 months and I love it. I have owned my 65 for 34 years, 61 for 20 plus years and really wanted a C3 big block. Finally found a real nice 68 and really enjoy it. Great view looking out over the hood and fender bulges. Real nice lines.

I've owned my current C3 for ~8 years, but have owned at least one C3 for 12 years. Have loved them even before I started driving.
