After a few months of looking at other C3's, I finally found one I liked. 1981 coupe, looks good, runs good, mechanically sound, 67K miles, $18K. It's not perfect, it has a few blemishes on the finish, but I can live with that.

She's a beauty! A couple years earlier and she would be my favorite shark. The recessed back window is still my dream vette.:seasix:

NICE car.......reminds me of my car when I bought it, damn near same color, maybe just slightly lighter shade, but damn close to yours......but after about 1.5 decades, some SOB did it in, and so I decided to change colors.....long as I had to paint the car......:dance:

A little Simple Green on a rag, cleans right up.

That's a very pretty car. Even though they were dogs performance wise, I think they looked great and were comfortable too. Drop an LS crate motor in there and you've got the best of all worlds. Unless maybe it's had some work done on the engine?

Nice find :seasix:

Nice find, of course the nut-sack tan interior will cost you a few points, just ask Steve_R. At least your tail lamps are round.

Seems like people have trouble with the white letters turning brown quickly.
