Noooo! You can't drive it now!! It'll get dirty. A rock could nick your paint! You could have an accident!!!

[I'm just messin' with ya'. But I bet all of that stuff has been rollin' around in your head....]

Enjoy that first ride....

Larry Shinoda's favorite...with pace-car tops....DELICIOUS!

Joking here....$20,000 worth of car held from oblivion by a $3.00 block (on a wet driveway!)

Please use in good health...just love the 73's.

Looking at a derelict one here locally.....I bid $4500.

Cheers Unkahal

Just echoing what's been said here, you car looks fantastic. I sure hope you gets lots of cruising fun in this summer. Thanks for keeping the original sized rubber on it, I think it looks best that way....

Very nice 73. I think the 73s are the best looking C3s but I am biased.
