Thank you for the kind welcome! I am hoping to meet up with other C3 owners at cars & coffees, cruises and shows. We seem to be in the minority.
I spent the first five weekends working with a friend to replace shocks, bushings, ball joints, trailing arms, speedometer cable seals, re-arching leaf spring, repairing leak in new radiator and installing electric fans on radiator. Since then, I tuned the Quadrajet, replaced high beam switch, kick-down switch, and added a battery disconnect until I find the draw that keeps depleting my brand new battery.
But she runs and looks okay. Very happy to have this car I’ve wanted for decades.

@SactoDave Sounds great! She'll keep ya busy, but I'm sure will bring you many years of fun rides, too!
