Default Nice to see your sold car lookin good

Neither car is a C-6 but this where I post so forgive me please.
Got this email about my 1970 LS 5 I sold back in the early 90's which I had purchased previously form a little lady in Liesure World whose husband had just died All original 39,000 mi. pristine So as usual I grew tired and sold it, but the good thing is the fellow that bought it still has it, and just purchased a Z06, nice photo
Wish I had it back Anyway here they are

Looks good, those cars really blew my ten year old brain when they first came out, and I still love them.

I've heard those cars were cramped and rode like crap. Was it bad info?
I don't remember the one ride I had in a C3.

I do remember asking my Uncle, "Do you remember that gold 69 vert with side pipes?"
He responded, which one?

Love the steel-bumper C3's! I had a `71 coupe that I owned for 21 years. When it drove away with it's new owner I sat down in the driveway and cried.

Oh yes .... it's true , at the time it was state of the art but compared to today's cars and technology. .. the fit and finish was horrible , earlier models had body crack issues , I could go on ...

My 70 LS6 only did one thing really well, it went like hell in a straight line but with the weight of that big block up front , don't try to turn it at speed . Then we all can remember that dual disk 11 inch clutch right ....

(It's kinda like your 1st girlfriend , you only remember the good times lol lol )

beautiful car NSF!
