Well I'll be spending some time in the c3 section now, I just got a 71 LS5 4 spd car. I have been a frequent visitor in the c4 sections as I also have a 84 and 85.

Congrats on a fine purchase! Sure looks like it's got nice paint.

My 79 has the bubble window...I'm starting to think the flat window makes the car look a bit more agressive, no storage space, but agressive!

Good luck with it!
