It has a certain je ne sais quoi.

That's French for mullet.

It reminds me of the 1967 Firebird I had 40 years ago

I can't believe that someone would have driven it around 121K mls.

The 70s were like that.
I think I may have seen that, or one like it at Carlisle a few weeks ago!

Man.. I am getting stoned just looking at it. It exudes 'light-em up' (both tires and jay-birds )

No "stones" required to buy it...you just have to be "stoned"...

Certainly a throw back ! I like the "new leather seat". If you look closely, he isn't kidding. Looks like just the drivers seat was replaced.

Well I can say that I'm completely disappointed in that car. I was fully expecting a purple crushed velvet interior, and instead was shown a somewhat stock interior! That's Sad! All kidding aside I really like some of the krazy kustom C3's of the 70's!! I wouldn't be bringing that one home though...

This would actually work if remade into the style of Northwest Coast Native art. Especially with those huge 'eyes'.

I guess my problem with the C3s is that, about the time I graduated from high school in 1969 -- they were everywhere and more and more appeared in subsequent years.

Friends had them in profusion and they were subjected to a lot of creative modifications, flames, pinstripes, velour seats, you-name-it.

It got to the point where they were nothing special. They still don't "do it" for me...

I don't know much about old sports cars. Is that a 1966 Lamborghini 350GT ?
