Well too damn hot for the coffee, but just a couple pictures! I should have taken more of the exotics….

Nice! I find the C&C's much more relaxing to go to than car shows, and a lot friendlier environement too.

Did you take it as is ? (unrestored barn find/survivor).

As Norm says, C & C are nice in the fact they start early am and are done by noon.
My present situation doesn't allow me to waste a morning and afternoon at a car show.
Not ready for a C&C yet, but I'm getting close with my C3 project.

Really was the first time I went to one. It was much better than shows, being trapped there all day with a nice variety of models. I enjoyed rolling in, with the sidepipes blowing!

Yup, just like I found her! I washed it but not detailed spotlessly. Right now, I have no plans to restore the car and leaving it, as is. It drew a nice crowd, even more so than many of the newer cars that were there! I did visit your thread and see you're making huge progress! Nice job

There's a guy in our area who has a SuperBird. Drives it frequently.

Thanks for the pics, and yes, I would buy your mid-year for $7500, all day long.

I talked to the owner, he said he's owned it for 40 years and does drive it!

Your price just went up for the C4!
