Has the wrong slats on the side. 68 and 69 have the vertical slats that look like gills. 70-72 has the cheese grater style w/ rectangular slats which the pic has.

I agree w/ the exception of the 72. 72's had amber turn signals up front while 70 and 71's had clear ones like the car in the pic.
My guess is a 70 or 71 small block.

We should start a forum for C3 experts and enthusiasts. Maybe general issues about C3's could be discussed in there. A good name could possibly be "C3 General."

That's a vert w/ a hardtop. My guess is $30k plus depending upon condition, miles, restoration, etc.. Coupes you can find starting in the $20's.

First two, 70 or 71. Parking light lenses are white which were 70 to late 71. Also exhaust extensions are rectangular 70-73. Small block hood.
