I drive mine as often as possible weather permitting. Bought it to be a driver, but joined the NCRS and got interested in having it judged. It's a Top Flight car, but I still drive it as often as possible. That's what having one is all about! The thrill of driving these beauties and sharing them with others never wanes as far as I'm concerned

Weathers getting nicer in NJ so it's decision making time to drive the C3 or the C4. Life is good!! My daily driver is the Audi and the Boss 302 is my sons. Lot of horsepower in our house.

As long as it's not raining my '72 comes out every weekend and fortunately in Las Vegas we don't get much rain!
This car was meant to be driven!
