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.

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...?
