Beautiful color! Pleased by the job? Anything you'd do differently? People are always curious about paint prices...care to share? Looks fantastic!

Insurance took care of it....Had a cracked bumper and a scratched hood from a muffler that kicked up on the highway.....Color is real nice, a very deep blue....factory color was silver....I bought the car 16 years ago with this color.....

You may already know to be careful with car covers.....they can trap moisture and cause rust problems if the car doesn' get driven much.

Not crazy about the ride in the Z, very stiff....Its nice on the highway but you feel it over rough pavement...Will swap out shocks this season, has 48 K.....In my opinion the C-4Z is a bit heavy and a little too long, but what ya gunna do..
Performance wise there is no comparison...That LT-5 will surprise you.....Its worked though, full porting w exhaust, reground cams so its got power....
The C3 is a very torquey car and s lot of fun in the street w the 370 rear and the worked motor..
Car actually rides well for being 45 years old...No rust car that has been well maintained..
