It is amazing the different cars that are just sitting around waiting for a new owner to come and rescue them.

Any details you care to share about it?

Well so far ..it will need paint, tires, and brake work,…but we put gas and a battery in and it started right up, trans is ok and every thing inside works.



The body and glass are in great shape (never hit), weather-stripping is in great shape, carpet is shot, still has the t-top brackets for the luggage rack in a bag in the glove box!

Should not take to long to be on the road...Than I'll start on the paint & int.

Looks like it will keep you busy for a little while. How did you find that car? What's the story?

Looks like a nice winter project. Hopefully it doesn't take to much work.

Been looking for another C3 for some time now and had several friends keeping an eye out. Well Danny called and said he had found a nice one at a charity event, someone had donated it. Anyway he picked it up and told me to come by his yard and if I was interested he would pass it on.



The rest is now history

I am going to pull the carb off this weekend needs to be rebuilt. Change the intake (have an L82 aluminum one to put on) repaint and detail the motor and acc.



I have it up on stands right now with all the wheels & brakes pulled waiting on new calipers, all the interior is now gutted. I’ll post some pics next week.



By the way it is going back Black with the gray int.
