Default 1978 Silver Ann. Color?????

Thanks,

These C3's are like Mustangs-everywhere and cheap. No power either. In '86 I bought a '79 black on black with mirrored tops and spoilers for $8k and they're still the same price. I owned a Top Flight '78 Pace Car with 63 miles that I bought in 2005 for $22k and sold it 2 yr later for $32,500 on ebay. I set the record for a pace car price then, but I knew to bail out because these cars were going nowhere in value. And 6,502 of them wasn't exactly "limited edition" in my opinion (not like the '72 LT-1 A/C car I now own @ only 240 made). I would only recommend buying these C3's as drivers but not as an investment.
