Default 212mph C3 - L88.....another Chuck Harmon presentation!

In case anyone thinks of those old L88s as noisy, uncomfortable, rough-riding dinosaurs....well you're right! But try to imagine the thrill of 212mph on the Mulsanne straight at LeMans, way back in 1972....back when the world had never seen or heard of C4s and C5s.

Thanks Chuck! :eek:

If I remember correctly that C3 was at Bowling Green on Labor Day last year for the Rolling Thunder display, what a mean sounding machine!!!!
