I still have my 2006 convertible and will be picking up a 2013 427 convertible later this month. No plans for another C3 until I get a bigger garage.

What kind of wheels are those? I did my '74 matte, but rally wheels painted black are kinda boring.

Here is my 76, original engine and 4 speed trans, its seems like a pretty good car, plus I have stuck a ton of money in it lately in upgrades and replacing stuff. Just got done with the interior. Body has a few small cracks and is not perfect but it fit in well at cruise ins all summer long!
