Default Finally posting pics!

So, thanks to the help from a couple CF members, I bought my first C3 last fall. 1969 Lemans Blue. Numbers matching 427/390 4-speed in the color combination I was looking for. Only thing I had to do was add the side exhaust. $3k later here it is.

Sweet. I like the color also. PS and PB also. Nice Find.
3k for exhaust....? that was probably more than half of the cost of the car brand new.
Enjoy...

Thanks. Yes, $3k for the side exhaust. It's a coupe though guys. The water behind the car is the long island sound.
