glad to be driving a C3 again
I just added a 82 CE to my garage. I did not realize how much I missed driving a C3. It has been 8 years since I sold my 81 and I had bought a 93 and drove it a few years but that is not the same. There is nothing like the feel and view from the driver seat of a C3. I hope to have my 71 finished by this summer but until then I will cruising this, I do intend to keep them both.

Nice CE, looking good. Doesn't even look like it was used at all. How about some engine and more interior shots when you get a chance?
I really enjoy my 82, as my "dd", it's just all around fun everytime I get behind the wheel....
Congrats

thanks, sometimes I wish I had looked for a CE, but I am just as happy to be driving an 82, I had always wanted a CFI and glad that I did. When set-up properly, they run great

Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!!!
(I agree! it is nice looking over those c3 curves when you are driving down the road!)
Where did you buy it? local or long distance?
Buyers market right now!
We got to visit with Jeryl and Cherlyn and see their new 68 Camaro at Cruising the Teche! It was nice too!

That's a beauty, congrats. Nothing like getting behind the wheel of such a classic design. We may be viewed as dinosaurs by some in today's world but someone has to lead the way. Great job, doing your part!

20Merc, I bought it local I have known this car for the past 15 years and I am the third owner. I talked the previous owner out of selling it several times but this time it was going so I could not resist. believe it or not this car has over 100K miles on it. It has been enjoyed and has had a pampered life. The interior was completely restored 8 years ago.
