Mike, great read as always thanks..
favorite throwback pic is more question than comment.
The C1 covered in dust inside of that shop or barn, any known backstory to that or anything super rare about it? And, is the C1 in the next photos the oem color?
Second: The red C2 resto-mod/racer outside of the wil-wood trailer is beautiful. to me, it represents what a "GS/Z06" would have looked like had chevy done what it does know when comparing a stingray to a GS/Z06. very interesting, came to me instantly like, "Wow!..how it's done today". that builder designed and executed that car beautifully.
Lastly, which C3 would have to cross your path in order for you to say "gotta have it!" ?
year
coupe/vert
engine
trans
RPO/options
int/ext color
you must have "one" that would be your "holy grail C3"?
I believe you said you've never owned a C3 out of the 18 or so you've had. thanks have a happy 4th
posted up a few carlisle pics from 2016 for you for the future!

Thanks for pics and memories. My favourite is the hard core NCRS judges in the rain. That's dedication. Thanks again for the info you sent me deciphering the codes at the bottom of the build sheet. You made my club member's day. Have a safe and happy 4th.

Congrats to Jim P. from Utah. Love the White/Blue convertible with the Twilight Blue interior. Too bad they dropped the Twilight package for 2018. Hopefully they will bring it back or something similar in the future....

Mike I love these posts. It always amazes me just how many folks from out of state purchase from you. Congrats on that my friend.
I was wondering though ... how many different states have you sent cars to?

Wish I lived near you as I would drive by and hang while the Yanks play the Red Sox! Barbecue tending would be first of course. I will take my Cheeseburger well done please...or a hot dog with mustard and 'kraut.

I wish people would deposit their political views at PR&C.
Beyond that, my fav pic is the driver view from inside that 63 cruisin the highway at 70mph. Love that dash. This 63 was powered by a 327/300 or the standard 327/250HP. 300 most likely.
