Looking at a C3
Been out of the C3s for some time now and want to know what you all think of this price.
1980 L82 auto all options glass tops plus painted tops, roof racks, Dark blue with doeskin leather, just over 15K miles, looks like its never seen rain even still smells new. Orig owner has all paper work. asking $17.5
Thanks...Steve

If its the real deal with some documentation Id say that pretty good.Ive seen them for more than that.Last year of the L82 also the last year of the non computer Vettes.Should be a fun car to drive.
Good luck.

Thanks for the input.. 
I'll be out looking it over again this week.
The owner has all the paper work from when he ordered it in 79 plus the window sticker. still has the orig. tires on it.
57 views you guys sure are tight lipped over here
By the way if I move on this it will be my 6th C3 just have not had one in the last 5 years.

If it has original tires on it, don't drive on them. Even if they look new they most likely are shot. Tire manuf. say not to use tires more than 6 years old. The rubber breaks down over time.
Sound great, good luck if you go thru with it.
