Does your C3 have a rare factory option(s)???
If so, what are they??? My '68 has option U15 - speed warning indicator - $10.55 option in '68 - 3453 cars out of 28566 had it (12%)
Damn - I wish it had RPO L88 listed on the tank sticker!!!

My car doesn't really have any rare options, but an unusual mix of options...and I have the tank sticker, window sticker and sales invoice to back it up:
convertible
hard and soft tops
L71 427/435 engine
4.11 rear axle ratio
power windows
manual steering
P02 Deluxe wheel covers
tinted glass
power brakes
telt/tele wheel
It's not that any of these are unusual in and of themselves, it just seems strange to have the big engine along with the 4.11 gears and no power steering for out and out performance with more or less luxury items like power windows and those heavy P02 wheel covers. They just don't seem to go together.

My 79 L48
I would like to think of this Vette being somewhat rare, being that they only made 4,062 with the MM4 Trans out of a production of 53,807.. The only thing that could have made it even better would have been an L82 under the hood, but I'm pretty satisfied.

That's a really nicely optioned car
My 73 convertible came with the optional shoulder belts, a surprisingly rare option. Not sure if they were original or not.
