Default Brown C3 Picture Thread Let's See them!

Here's some pictures I took of the 79 this morning after clay baring it and waxing it. It hasn't looked looked this good in a while. I don't see too many brown C3s around. This one is an L-82 four speed. Any one have one like this? Let's see them!

Hmm. 4053 brown ones outta 53807 for '79. 7.5 % . And I've NEVER saw a brown one - EVER ! I got to get out more often.

By the way - sharp car

I'd post a picture of mine but it isn't brown anymore. Factory '75 medium saddle exterior. Previous owner painted it red.

I have a Brown L-82 4Spd '79. It is currently stripped but will be painted its original brown- which I believe is such an underated color. Thanks for the motivation

Ahh,
Only if I knew how to post pics....
Our '76 still has the factory metallic dk brown paint.
Waxed it today and it rained about 2 hours later (before I got it back into the garage....)
