The C3 is one hell of an attention getter. Its definitely got to be the curves and lines on the car. Women just love this car. All I can say is hang on to it forever.

I'd only sell it to get a chrome bumper, anyways. Probably cost me less to just figure out how to make a chrome bumper fit mine.

29...first vette.
I've had it for almost 2 years and I get alot of attention from Mrs. Robinson.
I have been amazed at the 25-30 somethings that I have bumped into who are getting into the C3's. Besides having the best bodylines they are still affordable. C4's just have too much Don Johnson written all over them...

My next project car will most likely be a little Triumph GT6. Awesome little cars, they look PERFECT for autocross due to their weight and size. I wonder if there are any Triumph clubs...

They are some sweet little cars to work on, and the SU carbs are actually very performance worthy for racing (although a lot of guys will switch them out to Webers to prevent fuel starvation on hard cornering)...If you go for a TR6, good luck, man!!

I kinda like the looks of the GT6 Mk1, personally. Either that or the little Spitfire, they've got a little bit of the Porsche look but not quite. I like that super simple 2L I6 the GT6 has. I was on one website where they're converting their carbs to motorcycle carbs like Mikuni, which my Ninja 500R has. I just want to build a late 60's one up and Auto-x it and **** off the people with new cars all computerized and beat the hell out of them with a car that's nearly 40 years old.
