My son and daughter-in-law live close to this car. I could get him to go buy it for $13 and then I could fly out, go pick it up and drive it home. The transmission problem still bothers me, though.

wonder if you could match the paint and just get away with painting the tops of the fenders and hood?? Looks like a nice car . . .bring some Imodium and head back to Phoenix . . .


Am itching to get back into a C3 . . .

As a consolation prize, here's a CrankList advert for another '78. Note the photographic quality; now THAT'S how you sell a car.

You'd think the seller would at least give his trans some Imodium before he relists it.

He didnt say the trans has diarrhea, so the immodium probably wont work. Next owner just needs good wiping skills.
