WTB 70-77 C3, red or black ext, standard trans preferred
Hello all,
I'm looking to buy a '70-'77 C3. My preference is for a standard transmission, red or black exterior.
Budget is $10-17k, So I'm looking for something that runs well with no major rust problems. Minor defects are fine, but I'm not looking for something that will require under the hood work before it can be driven.
Located in Illinois. Would prefer to stay within reasonable driving distance (4 hrs one way) if possible.
Thanks.
EDIT: I have purchased a C3 and am no longer looking for one. Thanks everyone.

Know of a local 76 4 spd black/black thats solid and clean Ca car
Put you in touch with him if you want. AC car he has the compressor just not on the car. Not a hooptie, sharp looking hotrod 4 spd works like it should. Motor looks stock and original hes at the lower end of your price range, straight shooter. Shipping is cheap these days.
