Hey all. Just wanted to share the fact that I finally got my C3!! 1979 Black/tan. I just got home from the 5 hour trip to get it. Great car!
I have a C4, 1984, that I really like but theres nothing like the C3.

Hello and welcome.
I also have a C4, a 1986 that I use as my daily driver. But for fun and relaxation, I prefer to drive my C3's around on the weekends.

Have fun with your new car. It looks like a nice 79.
