the only year the C3 had side pipes was 69' and if I rememeber correctly
it was not even for the full production year of 69'.

The pipes are really nice sounding, but the noise will get to ya on road trips.

I recently removed mine and replaced with the factory under-car exhaust.

I can now listen to my radio and drive without having to wear ear plugs.

1969 was the only year they were offered as a factory option.

They were available from the dealer into the early 70's. If the dealer installed them when the car was new, then technically they could be considered "original".
