Unbelievable. Makes me think of a Red Foreman phrase.

Now that's what I call Fake news!

Don't know about this one, but many of these "pictorial list" sites use eye candy to attract people to their ridiculous ad-filled sites. Many times the
initial picture to lure the unsuspecting is not even part of the list itself.

I learned to stop following clickbait links with one-word titles by using this one weird trick.

I clicked on it! It said that the multi-piece dash would be a total b!tch to take apart and put back together, replacing dash lights or the speedo or tach cable would be an exercise in extreme hand and body yoga, that there is hardly any room in the engine compartment to mount anything, that the sexy door panels would be potato chip shaped after a few decades or so and the door locks would be ever so problematic on these cars (but not on anything else GM, that I've ever seen), that pulling the trans and reinserting it, with a welded in cross member is better than any WWF match, that every screw set for every panel in the interior is unique, that the C2 came with electric headlight motors, but GM went back to vacuum on the C3, that the guy who designed the shifter plate for the stick shift, made sure to leave a full two inches to the rear of the shifter throw, but less than an inch for the forward throw, that if left outside for any long period of time, these cars are done for, but yet, I love my C3!
