Hi congrats on your purchase, I put the Retrosound in my 81, love the sound and features. You can plug in a USB, AUX, or SD card as seen in my last picture.

Thanks I felt like it was. Love my C3 and even though I have a C6, this model is the one that first got me to love Corvettes and it feels like the fantasy of corvette ownership is complete.

Absolutely. Mr Shinoda must have had a woman in mind when he drew up the C3. Maybe Marilyn Monroe. Look at how the rear fenders curve up by the rear of the doors.
Those are hips, baby.

Always great to see another C3 in the Carolina's. If its road ready you should bring it out to cars and coffee in Charlotte on 2/01.
Nice looking ride, love the Dark Blue interior.
