28 and Im ready to pull the trigger on my first Vettei. I've loved the C3 since I was a child and happily with two young children the later years are very affordable. I came here for advice on what to look for on such an old vehicle and hopefully at some point help with any restoration! Cheers!

You will find what you need in the C3 section, good luck.

Do a lot of research. These cars are old and can have several issues other than rust and damage. Sellers also use miss leading terms. Find an expert to do an inspection before you buy.
