On my 70, the Briggs and Stratton alarm lock is kinda primitive looking as opposed to late 70 and up.

I would have "lost" the slight-green-tint on the rims.....

80-82 the buttfugly rectangle space for a front license plate, ruined the flow of that front end,
Gm could have tossed in a chessy bracket just for places that needed front tag

On the 68-82?
I wouldn't change anything GM did.
Other than end the series a little sooner.

Not a big fan of the 75-79 front bumper guards. I think the 74 looks so much cleaner without them.

Bubble tail light lenses for all years and four real tail lights for 69-82.

I understand the engineering reason why they did it, but the clean look of the 73/74 front bumper was lost with the addition of those bumper guards.
My beef: The rocker panels under the doors are too shallow. I hate looking at a C3 from the side and seeing that damn transmission crossmember hanging below the bottom edge of the rocker panel.

For my '71 Convertible:
I would have had 4 brake lights and left the backup lights where they were in '68. It's one of the mods I'm planning to do some day.
Have a between the seats waterfall like on the newer convertibles. Again, I'll do this as well.
I wish were the radio is was a little closer to the driver. It's a pain to turn up and down the radio without leaning forward a little since it's so far away.

Also I would have not switched to the large rear glass in the later years.
