I haven't been on the forum because I hit the road last Thursday for a trip to St. Louis, MO from outside of Philly, PA. I found somebody here on CF, (bobster42) who was selling and we made a deal. The trip out (14 hrs.- not so bad, coming back - 21 hrs.never again!
I didn't get back until Saturday about 3PM and I was drained of all energy. Went to bed and didn't get up until 5 PM Sunday. I missed our son at the airport but Tonight he gets to see it for the first time.
I'm a little worried as it's been many years since I've driven a C3 and last night I experianced entry and exit is not too easy for someone with long legs! I'm 6'2" and a bit out of shape for flexability, our son is a basketball center at almost 6'5". With his injuries still hurting I'm not sure he's going to get in the seat. What compounds the problems of egress is those hot side-pipes! I burned my legs twice. They look and sound great, it'll be interesting to see if they stay. I'll take some pics later and post them.
Thank again so much for the very generous offers. The money wasn't a breaker however, I wish I had the budget for a better car that was more along in a restoration process.

Actually it's a 4 spd. anybody know what the **** is that pulls in and out like the headlight switch but it's located under and left of the speedometer gage? It's not in the 71 owners manual.

For 6'2"+ tall people, I hope it has the tile / tele steering column. If not, you might consider installing one.

Should be for the over ride for the headlamps/windshield wiper cowl and the round **** is to stop the wipers in midstream for service.

Drbluevert

No, those I know and are under the steering colum. The pull out switch is on the face of the dash smaller and lower than the headlight switch. I'll try to take a picture later.

Trip odometer / mile reset.....

Is there another one over on the passenger side dash? These pull in and out right?
Not up and down which is what all the above mentioned do.

Consider having someone that owns a C-3 come over and walk you through the car. They can offer ideas on what they see, suggested areas to be addressed, etc. If I can help let me know, things like registration in PA, inspection, etc. We can help to wipe out a lot of the mystery for you and your son, just ask. Be home Saturday from India, at the car show Sunday, could meet next week if you like. I'll drive my 77 over and we can compare as well if you like. Be glad to help.
Best regards,

If you got the white/blue coupe then you found a very nice looking
car and it looks like it is well along in the resto process. A factory a/c, tilt/tele. Love the color combo. Congrats
