I was a little confused about that also, Phil. A picture of the block would help. That "believe to be" part is not on the c3 registry.

Hi ole,
" but last time it didn't bid very high on ebay. "

Perhaps having a 'story' doesn't always add any value to a car??
Regards,
Alan

The interior sure is dusty, the odometer reading doesn't look level, the dash trim piece under the steering is sagging. This car needs more verification.

Pay for what the car really is, stories arent worth a hill of beans & wont make it drive any different

It's odd that they put Long Trails on it. As the name implies, they are more of an SUV/light truck tire. I put a set of them on my wife's Tahoe. It shows Radial T/A's in the ad, why didn't they just use them?

The Long Trails look better with the mud flaps.

Color is War Bonnet Yellow not Gold, engine is questionable, mileage is at least 183,503.

Nice options and if rust free a good solid car.

Wonder if the Gal of paint in the Pass floorboard come with it.

No explanation of the “dealer option stripe” referenced in the article?

Survivor sticker?

Paperwork on the registry says they have the original window sticker which shows the $100 stripe dealer install. It shows the survivor sticker on the window near the astro script, along with a picture of the certificate of preservation. So far, seller has not responded to e-mails. Maybe tomorrow he will reply with some more pictures of the block, window sticker, and more.
