Beautiful car! '73 would have been my first choice, but I couldn't find a clean one in the DFW area when I was looking last spring and at the beginning of summer. Funny story, I looked at one that had been sitting in storage for three years while the owner was in the state pen. When the dealer popped the hood it looked like it had been his getaway car. Just beat to death and the frame was pretty rusty too. I managed to find a sweet '76 though back in Jul
If you don't mind me asking, how far did you have to go to find it?
I'm just down the road in The Colony by the way.....

Man, you're right down the street from me! Did you by chance go to the car show in downtown Denton this weekend? It was a pretty decent turnout...about 200 cars were there. In regards to my C3, I bought it from a guy over in Prosper.

Let me know next time you head out on an event or something and we can meet up.

thats an excellent looking car Stevo. me being born in 73 makes me have a soft spot for them but i have an 81 . i love your colour combination and i think you made a good move jumping over the fence to the chev paddock.....at least apart from the birdcage/frame you will never have to worry about rust bubbles popping up in your panel work at some stage...ever.
