There are only a couple of years of C3's that I haven't owned but my first was a 77 so I always lean towards those. My next one will be a 68 or 69 convertible

I "settled" for my #2 favorite, which was a '70 454, 4 speed car. It's been a good one.

Oh right! That's what my plan is!

Just wish mine looked as nice now as this one does... LS6 #1 ....the press fleet car.... I still remember reading about it....Mine'll be a twin

I remember that 71 LS6 in the early 2000's at Carlisle Auction when it was on the Fairgrounds I believe it bid about 90k. I love that LS6 and great story as one of the Magazines blew the motor testing it.
