Just bought a C3 from a gentleman on the CF. After coming across the country, couldn't be happier with the new addition.
Love spending time bringing an already clean car up to pristine condition, She shines like a new penny! Loving those classic slotted rims!
Thanks John!

Congrats, looks like a really nice Vette. In that 2nd pic, what's going on there? Is the car jacked up, or is it at ride height?
