Default Living proof that..

there are a lot of talented people with really great cars here at C3

For any foibles our cars may have, we all dig in and make them better than when they were new.

Bee-U-Tee-Ful



earlier this year the wife went to an auction to bid on a 1981 with that exact color scheme. The car had never been titled... always kept in enviro-controlled garage, 11 miles, and seats still in factory plastic. She was willing to go to $17k... bidding ended @ $26k.

at least we tried.
