Re: Looking for info on C3's (tdp1)
Thanks for the info. Very helpfull. I once owned a 94 C4. 300HP. It looks like the C3's, at least the later models have a max 200HP if your lucky. I guess the only way to get as fast as my 94 would be to do an engine swap? I really like the classy looks of the 80-82. I love the Silver Green color available on the 82. Any suggestions on which model is the best bang for the buck? I'm sure it's a matter of personal taste and the depth of ones pockets. This forum is very helpfull as the search continues.
Thanks again,

Re: Looking for info on C3's (tdp1)
Personally I would suggest a 76-79 they seem to be the cheapest to buy right at this moment. True they only have 200 hp, but still have the same Sb-chevy 350 that very thing came with from 68-80. If you are not worried about being perfectly stock getting power out of these engines is easy and cheap. Example my 79 had the 195 Hp L-48 engine. By replacing the heads, intake, cam, and putting on headers with true dual exhaust got me up to 400hp. This only cost just shy of $3,000. Now if you would just like to get to 300 hp or just a little better a set of headers with duals and a good cam would get you there quite easily. That would cost $1,000 give or take a little it depends on what cam you get.
