Default Whoo hoo! Just got a C3!

Well, after selling my 87 to switch to a C3, today I finally found and bought my new car. She's a 71 black convertible.

Will post pics as soon as I get them up!

Welcome to the C3 side and congrats on the 71. My wife is after me to paint mine black. I really like black too. Nothing better when it is clean and shiny. :cool:

It's original color is Bridgehampton Blue, I'm thinking of having it painted back to that color since it kind-of needs a paint job anyway.
