Default My 77 Pics

I had to take some pics for the insurance company. It is by no means in bad shape. I like to call it a work in progress. The photos, however, made it look better then it is..

My wife is an insurance agent, and she turned me on to AON. I am paying 100 bucks a year for an agreed value of $12,000. I obviously have not had a claim with them, so I do not have any experience on that end, but the price is right. If you want to check them out, go to aoncollectorcar.com

You can see more pictures by clicking on my pictures, but here are a few.

Looks clean. Very pretty car. Wish mine looked that good. Had it 5 months now. Will post pics when it's in a condition to do so. I love these C3's. They're so cool. Took mine out yesterday for over an hour with no seats, just pillows and a seat belt.

Very clean looking car. That is a pretty good rate I would say. I had mine insured for $12k at State Farm and it was around $100 a year also. I have since changed the value of my car but it is still very affordable.

Stock hood.

Thanks for all the kind words. I bought it from uncle, the original owner, about 10 years ago. He had grown tired of it, and it was a bit neglected. I have done what I can with it as finances allow.

Too bad the light coloured cupholder wood doesn't match the rest of the nice dark wood trim, because that dark wood looks good.

I had never thought about that. I can stain that a darker color easily. It looks like I have a project this weekend. Thanks for the honest critique!
