Default I Got A C3

Holy mackeral! I got a 71 coupe last wk. Fact AC, PS PB tilt/tele auto for 9K. I must thank you guys for your thoughts on this car when I asked for your opinions. Its been about 30 yrs since I had an old vette, though I do have a nice C5 now. But its great to have an old one again. Its actually a lot nicer than I thought it was when I first looked at it. Never been hit and repaired, panals line up PERFECT! 89K mi. I just had to tell someone. I guess I'll be hangin around the C3 forum now. Joe

...if you got a nice, clean bumper shark C3 for $9K, I'd say you're off to a great start. Let see some pics when you can.
