Hope yours turns out exactly as you wish.
A year and a half? I would go out of my mind. Luckily I just need paint and body work. Once it gets too warm to enjoy it this spring, I will park it and freshen up the interior a little.

If you had a C7 to distract you, you'd be much more patient about your C3.

Not going to lie, you’re right.

Going to probably sell Anastasia when I get the 68’ back. Need a more practical car to tote the “things 1-3”.

Corrected, but true.

Actually I have a 13 year old daughter that is really into cars and has already claimed the 63. My oldest daughter could care less. I am considering buying a used Boxter or C5 vert (maybe a C4 if it has low miles and crazy cheap) in the next year or so. I figure I could shake the bugs out for a couple of years or so before passing it down to her. My SUV will need to be replaced in the time frame I am looking at, and this would get me to the point of inheriting mama's car and buying her a new one, which is the modus operandi in our home.

And a '68 C3 is going to do that?

Oh, you mean you're going to dump the C7 and buy a new SUV?

I wanted to get my oldest a Miata or Beetle or something cool. She expressed absolutely no interest and is happy with my old Honda Accord. At this one appreciates cars.

Camaro ZL1 or ATS V There you go. You can haul the kids around, and haul ass when you don't have them in the car.

Eldest is a typical Millennial.

Youngest is an anomaly to be cherished.

I’m actually looking at Toyota land cruisers. Don’t know why, but have always liked them.

Anastasia is the XKE? Why would anyone in their right might choose a C3 over an XKE, especially a coupe?
