Love my 77 C3
I found my "barn find" 1977 C3 last year. Since then, I have been slowly working on it to get it back on the road. It's a matching numbers C3 with a 4 speed and has the Gymkhana suspension. I call it "plain vanilla" because it's the base model and is white with red interior which by the way is almost done with a redone interior. The new carpet looks great and I'm waiting for the seat belts to come back and soon will have the buckets redone. Mechanically, it runs well and doesn't have any major leaks. Glad to be here as I expect to have some questions when I start the suspension rebuild.
