Yep, got a 78' today. Been sitting for awhile but I knew this history of the car and engine. Got her checked out and busted off this afternoon. Everything is working pretty good. Will have to clean the carb and some minor tuning. But it compliments my c4 nicely.

What took you so long? We've been waiting... j/k.

Pull up a chair and sit a spell. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. There's a lot of experience and talent with C3's in this section of CF who are great at helping out.

Welcome.

Congrats and welcome! Car looks great! I always hear how people react so differently when you're sporting one of the older models....curious to hear about your experiences...?
