Default I Like C3's

I really like C-3's and one day I hope to own a 68 -71 or 81-82. I have a 96 GS and think a C-3 would be good company for my c-4. Great curves and must be fun to drive.

Owned a GS for two years, rather have my 72 - seems to have a lot more character and is easier to work on. To each their own...
