hello from the sticks!
have been searching for a few years, and finally found it! PO (retired army colonel) bought her with 43K on the clock in 1989 and she now has 52K. he trailered her around from base-to-base, changing the oil and repairing what was needed. stored in a barn for the last few years and started/driven a bit frequently by his dad. perfect body, solid undercarriage, very light rust on the frame will be dusted off and addressed, interior pretty nice with the usual driver's side "butt rub". has most options except the big engine, gynkhana suspension/HD shocks, and telescoping steering wheel.
i googled "how do i shop for a c3" and found this site, then used all the guidleines i could find while checking her out.
came with meticulous maintenance records, but has a few ****ling things to fix and they seem to be common: faulty tach, clock, and heater control lever is stuck so no defrost/AC. came with a service manual, so we'll so how i do.
am happy as hell, only wish it were summer. i love tinkering on mechanical devices, my hobby is restoring early 70's japanese bikes in the off-season then riding 'em for a while. i usually sell them for a small profit, that in turn supports my r75/6 and ducati 900ss habit(s).
