Saying goodbye to the '80!!
Well, it's come time to part ways with the '80. I hate to get rid of it but I need room in the garage. I would say that I wouldn't be lurking around still in the C3 section, but the news is good. I'm taking delivery of a '72 coupe, 350/4 speed car next week. I'm pretty excited about it. As much as I love the looks of the '80-'82 cars I'm a little more partial to the chrome bumper cars. I'll post some pics when it comes in!

I remember waiting for my '71 to arrive by covered trailer almost a year ago. Anticipation!
91k miles, numbers matching and every option except rear defogger. Still has the original rotors riveted to the hubs.
I was lucky enough to keep my '88 also.
Can't wait to see it.

Wish you best of luck with your bumper car. I too am often torn between the chrome of the 68 - 73 vs the 80 - 82 integral spoiler rubber bumper.
I almost went with the chrome bumper but the love affair ended when I got behind the wheel. It took me a while to realize that while I loved the older C3 it was only from the outside...the inside; from the seats to the dash are too old school for my taste. Seat time in the 80 - 82 took me back to when I fell for the C3 - inside and out - and that's why 2TONE82 is in my garage!

Sounds like a great set-up. Classic design with a modern look.
