Default Which C3 would you rather have ?

Pick one below....... ;)

Both with the same year, color, options, etc.
[edit].....and the same price

**Note : Big block car has all the correct equipment like the hood, suspension, etc.

For you coupe fans, just substitute the word coupe for each choice.

NAHHH, I'll take my ~400 hp or so and r/pinion steering and wide tires down the road in overdrive anyday.....getting 24 mpg while doing so, with top down and smiling...getting a sunburn on my azz while the rest of you northern types just freeze your azzes off in the snow and cold, dreaming of summer which lasts 2-3 months/year......

God, I"m an EVIL illegitimate for even saying that......

I think it depends on the cost. Personally I would rather have the non-matching #s so I can modify it without being attacked by the NCRS crowd, and because it ought to be cheaper.

I'm with the "mine" crowd. I know it real well, know what needs to be fixed and so forth.

But if I had to steal a forum member's car, it would probably be ZL1Powrs. ;)

I'll take the one with the small block, not because I care about matching numbers, it's because it saves me the work of having to remove that dumb big block to put my small block in.

How about a Daytona Yellow, 1970 Roadster with 454/390 hp that will pull tree stumps with a 4 speed, A/C, P/S, P/B and deluxe interior and 11:1 Compression stock!

Schumucker how did the coil overs work. You quit posting for a while. Give us an update on the coilovers both front and rear.
Start a new post so we don't sidetrack this one. I would love to talk about it, pictures would be even better. :thumbs:

I just really started looking at the L48 in my 72 project car because I was going to auction off the whole enchilada on a Ebay auction and now it looks like I'm going to keep it around. I can't believe the POS is numbers matching! Someone swapped on some 461 Camel-hump heads but, the ID pad VIN and code check for a auto L48! matching the window post VIN! Now I'm feeling guilty about the Richmond 5 speed swap for the TH400 auto. DARN!! :banghead:

You made a difficult guestion... I voted for SB, even though I'm not so keen on #'s matching at the moment. I think that to me the most important guestion in choosing between those two would be the overall shape. Ofcourse also the fact that what SB is in there, if LT-1 then there is no guestion which one I choose... :smash:
