If I were looking for a C3, on the cheap, I would look for a '73-'74 which is pre cat converter and much easier to work on. Hell, anything '79 and back would be fine. Knowing what I do about the crossfire set-up as a retired mechanic, I would pass on this car personally. YMMV...

It's 40 years old fercrissakes! Any issues it had as a new car have either been dealt with or never presented themselves to begin with. It is clean, appears well cared for and should be considered strongly if the OP wants a clean example.
