Default I have the only surviving aluminum body C3

1,000 were made but 999 were destroyed in a freak accident near the NCM. We were having a reunion there but there was a massive pile-up on I-65....aluminum everywhere. Fortunately, I called in sick and missed the carnage.

Just thought you guys should know.

No, No, No!

"I" have the only 1983 C-4! It was given to me by Howard Hughes after I picked him up hitch hiking in the Utah desert :yesnod:

Good thing it was you driving the last one. I'd NEVER call in sick to miss a reunion, I call in sick to WORK so I can go the reunions!!

Whew... that was lucky ... :lol:

I heard the tires are aluminum on that model. Someone told me that they made the glass out of aluminum too, but I don't believe that, how could they make it shatterproof? also anyone who drives one turns into aluminum. Do not paint these cars copper color or you get a chemical reaction and the ionic charge will break down the aluminum battery cables leaving your nutts welded to the aluminum seat. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Neo Fender I checked your profile and you have been around a long time. What makes you think your car has an aluminum body. I am not making fun just curious about how you came to that conclusion. After more then 800 days on this forum you are no dummy.
Have a nice day
